Here's mine (still a work in progress with Spongebob ) - index bevelling, crown recession, closing the moonphase gap slightly. Can't wait for it to finish!

Scottymagic Sorry for my ignorance but can the index bevelling make the indeces shinier from a wrist distance or just make the indeces more good looking under the magnifying glass?

What’s index bevelling?

From 5:50 of this video you can see the bevel difference between the gen and rep Nautilus indices. I'm guessing this is one of the reasons why gen indices look bright and shiny from most viewing angles as compared to reps'. I'm also guessing index bevelling makes the shape of index edges genlike. However, I'm not an expert in this topic so I might be wrong.

Yep, rep 5712 dial color is killer. I'd say the same even if I had never seen a photo of the gen.

Ahh ok. Indices = hour markers. Got it.

Mod looks great.
