Good Morning everyone friends!
Today we see a Mod project of a beautiful 116520 animated by the Sa4130
This watch is a complete project for a Canadian user known as Patnaboy.
He wants to have a Daytona Moddato with the original dial and spheres and of course a complete overhaul of the mechanics and polishing of the case to have one of the best examples of 116520 possible.
In this case I bought a new Noob 116520, arrived I immediately removed the case for a complete polishing and for the brightness of the crown and keys, always with the change for "softness", I was struck that the clock he arrived again with a bad defect ... in the drilling of the case for the application of the crown tube or the columns for the keys, small pieces of steel were to be detached that were for all the mechanics, not to mention that the inverters had distributed on the mechanization of the automaton of the black powder ... not the usual metal filings, the one that I almost always find in that place ... but the black powder almost seems like graphite powder ... but I can not confirm it, anyway. revised mechanics and softened chrono, regulated in 3 steps for settling. Today it registers 312 ° of amplitude and + 3 / + 5 SD ... I hope it stays like that also at the scheduled departure for Monday 26/11
The Polishing also included the finishing of each corner of the case including the space between the lugs and the leading edge of the SEL ... which I must say are excellent in this watch ... they are not too tight in the sense that they make sense forcing in assembly and locking, but they are not even rich in games with lots of "cracks" so we can be satisfied.
The dial and hands are original Rolex and are used, come from Germany and have not undergone special treatments before assembly ... only the hands have been clean because full of halos, the dial has been cleaned by fingerprints and filth but nothing more
the crystal is an aftermarket the gasket instead is gen and known that requires more pressure to be mounted correctly and the ring nut later turns out to be harder to remove:
here is the job:
I hope the photos are in order ... :-D
