too bad you don't offer these mods.............. :cry2::cry2::cry2::cry2::cry2:

The problem is twofold: it’s very labor intensive and probably not worth what I would have to charge, and I cannot perfectly replicate the original factory brushed finish.

Yeah I would agree, this looks a little suspect. Is it from a TD? Unless there is a major visual effect going on here with the plastic, I would red light it, or at least get a couple of different angled pictures.

It is from a well-known TD. Unfortunately I have already accepted, I realized it later, shit!

It is not that bad and after you take off all the plastic and wear it, you will not even think about it.
No one will ever see it anyways, unless one is in the habit of showing off that they’re wearing gen, which I’m sure that your not.

All reps have some sort of defect. They’re a $500 versions of a $14K watch.

Mine has a wonky rehaut that starts to curve up at the serial number and the floating m. Things that once you see it, you cannot unsee. No one else needs to know though.

Just put it on and enjoy :)

Hopefully there is nothing else wrong with it. At least it’s on the inside of the clasp where no one can see.

Have one of these on order. Got the pictures yesterday, so it will take some time I can show you if it is worth and fits better.

Also no recess at the lugs?

hi guys, what do you think? could it be the 9 o'clock marker on the dial is slightly crooked? or is it just the photo that is not perfectly straight? I state that in fact I also had to rotate the image because it was not straight....

Considering the purchase of a 1LD CF bracelet as a replacement for my 1LQ VSF bracelet for a better clasp and full 904L steel bracelet.

Anyone who has done so?
Is the 1LQ not 904L?

Hello,

I am rather new to the forum. Can someone please point me in the direction of where to look for Franken Rolex Submariner which can be a little more expensive than straight from the factory?

Many thanks in advanced!
