Couple of wrist shots from my recent holiday. Not the best of quality admittedly.
They were sneaky shots rather than dedicated pics of my watch.
Never took it off all holiday, love it!

Ouch!
Let's just say my watch is rather modded [emoji85]
Modded heavily by the previous owner and I have added to it. Might write up a spec, would need to find the original sales thread...
It wasn't waterproof when I first bought it, although the seller did sell it as tested. It leaked from the stem, marginally.
I removed all gaskets and greased them myself and tested the watch to 4atm.
I've been surfing, swimming, snorkelling and a few times in steam rooms and jacuzzi's (naughty I know). I think it would withstand a lot more but I'm not a diver so that will be its limits from me.
So, I found the old sales thread and for the first time i've listed my watch on paper.
Im pretty much done now tbh.
Still want a gen but the price just keeps on rising and I can't justify it atm.
BP SD with Swiss Enicar ETA 2834-2
TC hands and dial
TC bracelet (3rd and it fits perfectly)
BK DWO
Gen 703 crown
Gen spec tube
Gen spring bars
Gen bezel (1993)
Gen flat for bezel insert (1993)
Gen click spring
Modified crown guards
Drilled lug holes
Waterproofed
Case and bracelet refinished to gen spec
Bracelet edges softened

I've another question for you @ado213
My italian modder has fit TC crown/tube set on my SD BP.
Actually he has remove them and put on it gen 7030 tube and gen 704 crown, but he tell me that the tube still a bit out of the case beacuse BP case it's not the genuine rolex case. He still work on it and i haven't the watch with me actually.
Why this happen? It is really visible?
Many thanks
I know I am newer also, but to ask a question in a thread without reading the whole thread first, unless the thread was confusing seems just like a no brainer no no. I have been here lurking :blink: but don't post as much because all you gurus have it covered and have much better input than I do.

Sent from the RWI App
That's my old stock BP , and dial was f ortunately mint after this , I could reuse dial, hands, and dwo of this were immaculate. LOL. Later I had done several mod work on that, and after that it was stunning. With proper gaskets and TC crown and tube it had passed more than 100 meters test then
Thanks
ha ha ha In my case was a stock BP SD and wasn't tested before put in the sea water, but you can do this with all watches, and it's really simple to do:
-unscrew the crown and put this in thir position
-Put the watch in water for 5 minutes
-remove the watch from water
-enjoy the awesome rusty patina LOL
