Arf so beautiful and i think very reliable with new 7750... what happens with that gold plated color when get scratched?

I've got two on the go, one noob 116500 with gen crystal, ARF dial, ARF bezel, clasp and gen subdial hands. Thickness coming in at 12.35mm

One 316l v2 noob 116500 getting converted to an early 116523, rehaut and case model engravings removed, gen dial, crystal and handset, noob 116520 bezel sanded down and gold plated along with the crown, pushers, clasp and smartyendlinks.

The second one I've just been waiting for the right parts to pop up at the right price, I doubt the entire build will cost me more than €1k.

Taking a little while for you to put this one together... I'm sure it will be really nice when it is completed.

Bezel is on, gen crystal is on, thickness is correct, dial is shaved, just need the dial and hands to go on now. Caseback was so tight I needed someone with a rolex caseback opener to get it open, my modder didn't have the right size die. Modder number two had a bit of a waiting list!

On 116500 you need either gen or a thinned gasket. In terms of the crystal, I replace every on Rolex for gen without exception, just personal preference. Same with the hands and if possible the dial.

Gen bracelet leaves some huge gaps but can be fixed :
