My spongebob insert just arrived and it looks absolutely fantastic. It's on the way to a modder to have a lot of work done to it, soke franken work. I'll post the finished pictures when I get it back!

Nothing major, gen spec aftermarket triple lock crown tube (requires case to be milled out to accept), gen crown, Yuki 3130 movement, gen auto wind, spongebob platinum bezel.

Going to plastic mod the sel myself to make that closer to gen but I feel that it's about as close to gen as is worth the money for a sub no date

Hi there, mind to share what is the process of plastic modding the SEL? How does it work?

Somewhere in the middle of this thread someone mentioned about the issue with mod going dark after few months.
Is it still the case?

Yes.

 

[Karlus]

Yes.

Ok, so lets talk this through. Is the platinum ablating off? Is it a friction issue? Does this need to have a "sealer" applied to protect the precious Pt atoms?

Details please

Misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you asked if the green color on hulk inserts still was too dark. And i said yes.

The issue is solved.
The problem was due to the stock metal, it gets dark and affect the platinum color.
The process was renew and all the stock metal was removed away, i also deepen the engraving.

Cheers for the reply and clarification.
