Just wanted to share some pictures...

beautiful, phenomenal work done by legend himself. Definitely worth the wait. Very easy to communicate with. He treats every watch like his own and he puts a lot of effort into them. Cant keep my eyes my watch!

He has been nothing but patient and helpful. Advising me on what the more common mods are & what the less necessary mods were.

[BEFORE]







Mods are:
Mk3 Cyclops Mod
Datewheel Mod
Omega Hands Mod
Reluming of hour/min hands
Tachymeter Shave

[ENJOY]

Cheers mate. Love your mod but your tachy seems too much as the 6 o’clock is quite a big gap with a fully tachy trim. But looks good too! Wear with good health =]

Mk3 Cyclops Mod => still too reflective, incorrect geometry for a ROO, incorrect mag
Date wheel Mod => seems ok
Omega Hands Mod => the pinions are still too wide to simulate the pinions of the gen hands, rough edges,
Reluming of hour/min hands => sloppy finish on tips and bases, cannot verify if a correct BGW9 high-grade lume was used. Should have green-blue glow, but picture shows white.
Tachymeter Shave => too thinned, irregular geometry (not fully circle), tachy from 6 to 9 wider than other areas, some accidental cuts into the edges @78.5 and 84, tachy probably elevated over dial so that dial and tachy do not touch, would be better if tachy were recessed so that it can touch dial, and allow further reduction in case width.
Additional remark: all 3 chrono hands are slightly misaligned: seconds and hour to the left, minute to the right.

No idea which cyclops is better but for comparison here’s my old JF Bee with profS v2 cyclops and Micky DW. Modded by slaughterer. I didn’t care for thinner hands and tachy mod on my watch but that’s just me.
