Ultimate SeaDweller (with pearl mod) on Gunny Deep Red!

[45acp]

So a fellow forum member has had this SD for a while, fixing it for me after I screwed up the keyless. Was nice enough to break it down and service it for me while he was at it! Today when I got it back, I also got to WM pearls in the mail, so I got to work. I didn't do a perfect job, but I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Still not sure about the Gunny strap. It's gorgeous, but maybe I should do something different? I sold the bracelet it came on, maybe I'll get another one....or? I'd welcome suggestions on this one.

On to the pictures!

And the whole collection (minus my vintage gen seamaster I've got on the way). After this I'm taking a break for a while.

Thanks for looking!:txrob:

Very good looking combo with the Gunny. Is it padded? I've been planning to get me a sub with a leather strap. This is pretty close to my idea. Thanks for sharing the pics.
If you want to get something else, try a leather nato? Subs on rubber are nice too if you want a sportier look.

Gunny is great. Never disappointed with his work. Personally I prefer the look of the SD on leather than on the bracelet. As for the earlier question, yes, the Deep Red series is padded. His leather NATO is also great, extremely soft and comfortable.

Beautiful collection you got there.
Pearl is decent.
Really like the red Gunny strap.... although personally I'd put it on a Breitling TI Avenger..... TIA.

For that Seadweller .... I like nato straps and for sports I'd go with waterproof Di-Modell leatherstrap or the upcoming Evererst Band....


Or a bund strap:

lol Ya know, this is one of those situations where a little bit of exaggerated praise (even if undeserved) can be appropriate. Something like "Dude, the new pearl looks great!"

I think I need a leather nato and a fake rubberB for the SeaDweller.

I'm looking at that dainty little round watch on the top right and wondering how you pull that one off without shaving your wrist first... Maybe a long sleeve evening gown?

Or a bund strap:

Whoa !

Pretty decent bund there...

Nice Sea Dweller... Is a pretty nice and clasic watch! This and that sub you have there are some great pieces, althought beeing pretty "similar" for the eyes of the normal people, they are two must have hands down...

Nice pearl, i'm waiting for one for my LV... Its just a cheap version but working on it is pretty satisfactory

I have 4 of the same watches, and the same box. :lol:

Which ones?

And in case anyone is interested, I think I may have to part with the SD as it's just too similar to the Sub to justify keeping both of them. Keep your eyes out for a want to trade thread!

My black pam is a 360.

 

[45acp]

was it hard to mod? I bought 2 WM pearls in hopes of fixing my incomming SD.

 

[45acp]

Not really hard, but you have to be careful. I didn't remove the bezel, just worked at the pearl until it came out (took a while) and then slowly twisted a drill bit in until it was big enough.

what size drill bit? I have GS Hypo glue do you think that will be sufficient?

 

[mrs1986]

I think that was mention somewhere, and the size i think it is 3/32? Anyway, you should check the size of the back of the pearl with a precision tool, and that should be enough
And as for the glue... I cant comment... I have some epoxi cement, its a two compound material, its all what i could get...

One question, the size of the WM pearl is close to the gen? Or it is dramatically bigger??
