It does look OK, except misaligned markers @9 and @12. Not sure if there's space in OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED, your pics are too small, and out of focus. Would be glad to see really good pictures via photobucket.

ETA hands will not fit on the V2 3135 movement. You will also need a 3035/3135 stem as well.

so I guess if I'll prob have to wait till they come out with a dssd with the sa3135-2, use those hands, but do you think the stem will be a easy fit to the dlc crown of the pro-hunter?

I like the dial and pearl on these, but if I'm honest SEL seems gappy from your pics!

The dial on these are good, the bracelets are good, but that's about it! The pearl and insert is
GARBAGE! This bracelet fits perfect on a BP case as does the movement and dial and crown.......
At that point you've got a really good sub-c rep, with the last ultimate desicion, spring for a gen insert and have a uber bad ass sub-c rep or throw it in the drawer and wait for some genius to produce a gen-like rep insert!

But as it stands currently the v2 in and of itself is no better then any other sub-c from the box- UTTER TRASH! Sorry if I hurt anyones feelings trust me I own two and I'm utterly heartbroken over it......

Well this is how far I've gotten by combining parts from the v2 and BP,,, and it really looks and feels good,, but I can't find a gen-like insert,,, I've went though all that is currently available... Now I'm in the process of having one made by Pbdad,,, if that falls apart and turns out bad I'm going to buy a gen from freeking Rolex and mount it, call it a day...

That's a big mod bro...nice.

Well if u don't like it I will take it off your hands

And count me in for a gen too lol

But seriously I want to see the finished project.
I would hate for all this work that u did for it to turn out bad.

I haven't gotten my hands dirty yet with modding so I tip my hat to you good sir!

Crown position on the v2 is crazy bad...

This is yet another reason I chose the BP midcase.

The Crown can be replaced right?

The crown isn't what's really in question it's that crazy placement and the cg's are cut so wrong i just don't know if there's a way to fix it,,,, and it's definitely beyond my skill level,,,, but I've learned with watches to never say never.....

Here's the thing,,,,here's a shot of my BP cg's and you can see they're perfect to gen so why not just source a BP midcase and drop the v2 movement ,dial, hands in it and it solves a lot of really major problems!

Ah. Yes that is a great MOD to do

Don't forget the pearl swap. I have read that they tend to fall of the BPs very easily
