alvinado 0 Posted May 29, 2010 THis is my latest aquisition and build. Mods done: 1)Pushed the marker to 7 days as per the gen. 2) Superlumed the 3,6,9,12 markers and hands also 3) Twogeek's super AR, better than cheiftang's in my opinion 4) Modded the datewheel with an extra datewheel insert, making it close to gen, even the so call reps with " non recessed" datewheels don't come close! 5) HK Tan croc strap burgundy, the next best thing to gen. Here are the pictures, lazy to take lume shots.. but will take soon. look at the no glass effect: pictures don't do justice. The Clasp: The Crown: The Strap: Some more shots! Look at the super non recessed datewheel! Hope you guys like it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
