It's hard to get good one from factory, like with 16600. New BP is decent - I will probably pull triger on it, just have to change the hands set.The kermit is a Arf v2 with some mods to the bezel and dial.

I’ve had 3 gen Rolex with this type of bracelet, excuse me for being a little off and forgetful after a long day and a new watch. I’ll never make a mistake ever again, I promise.

The hands look better than they used to. How's the overall lume color and the match, in the past I found it to be a bit green.
Looks great lit up, but my question specifically was for during the day. I know the first batches had greener hands than the dial and the middle era 16600, like I've had a couple of, had a decent match between the lume on the hands and dial, but the overall tone was more green than gen.
Regardless, I think your pictures have sold me on picking up another one. BP is keeping the 5-digits alive with this and the new Subs.
No worries, day will do also, there is no difference from what I can see
Daylight natural cold outside winter -2 degrees Celsius, cold light is snowing
Now photos
The watch looks so much better with cg trim. Might have to pull the trigger on one of these. I owned a Jackjo sea dweller from RG waaaay back in the days. I miss that watch looking at yours! Great work.A quick polish on the bracelet, a little sanding on the cg's and now it's good.
Can't be perfect, it's an old watch after all.
Watch is 15.48mm thick, 1mm + compared with gen, this probably because of rep thicker crystal I guess
Will this take gen crystal?
actually not that big of a difference after all, gen is 14.8 so this makes a 0.5mm difference in BP
curious if is the back case or the crystal more thick in BP? Any toughts?
