Just got the QC pic of my inbound Aquaracer...check it out!!!
My pearl is now even better then on the GEN - I guess that will be a tell ;-)

UPDATE WITH CORRECT Datewheel window:
No resizing of these pics - just some huge project-complete macros (I'm pretty proud of myself here...)

Extra props to PBDAD on the date window lume bars - he didn't just "relume" them - he created those from scratch as my version never even had them in the first place!!!

It actually has it on 2 strips on either side of the datewheel - see below:
PBDAD is going to add those for me ;) ;) ;)

Very nice! How does the bezel of the rep turn as compared to the gen's?

Lume job looks very nice! Which dealer did u source the rep from? Any other mods? Which movement?

Knowing that missing those lume sticks on the sides of the datewheel would drive me crazy...returned to PBDAD and behold:
