Update: New bracelet with old style endlinks to match my "vintage" build.
how does that look ? Need some opinions
Nice build where did you source the bracelet and end links? Is the mid links hollow?

Sorry for my noob question, but what do you mean with “Gen date disc with open 6&9” this is a term that I have found in some threads regarding DW, but I can’t figure it out and even try to search it’s meaning but wasn’t succeed.

Now that I notice it,I think I kind of like it better. Thank you for your enlightenment
I actually changed the bracelet and build a gen one to finish this build off.
Correct period endlink , bracelet and clasp code (clasp is on its way)
had to source rolex pins and figure out the way they mushroom pins. Not easy.
here are the pics of how it looks right now:
Hello,
I'm so into moding right now that I want to share my build and if someone has some advice what to change and fix please tell me.
so my build is
if 16610 with drilled holes
sh 3135
gen crystal no are
gen insert
gen crown
gen spider dial
So far I did opened the watch and oiled all the gaskets and pressure tested it to 9 bars its holding up great.
Polished bezel scallops, sides of the case, crown and insert.
Chamfered the clasp per gen specs
Fixed uneven brushing on the bezel.
shaved SELs so all have same size
future upgrades :
movement service with a lot of gen parts for reliability
gen data disc for correct period
gen tritium hands
