Drilling lugholes on Rollies

[JellyJoe]

Hello everybody, I just finished drilling lugholes on 3 Rollies of mine and this is the result:

Before



After



Easy mod but somebody asked me to post pics so here they are

what would be the purpose? Just for the look? Nice though.

You sure got that nice clean watch all dirty.:lol:

Hey JJ,
Why you do this??

 

[trailboss99]

Because the lug holes in the rep are too small to accept gen sized spring bars as well as the outer end of the hole being smaller in dia than the gen.

Hey JJ,
Why you do this??

Purpose of all mods is to have a watch as close to gen as possible.
Gens have bigger lugholes to host 2mm springbars.
Pic of gen:

Looks good buddy! Do you have the gen sized spring bars yet?

 

[JellyJoe]

No I have to order em mate. Sry for low quality of pics I still have to buy a new camera :/

lol....Great job, JJ..

BUT...."easy mod" if you have a drilled case already.. if you want to drill the lugholes where there´s none, then it´s not so easy. lol

Waiting to see this project finished, buddy! Keep ´em coming!

Cheers,
Spirit.

This was a first mod attempt on a cheap $20.00 Canal st rollie. Epic Fail on my part. Nice job

This is the second Rollie.
