What Rolex are you wearing today? Part III

Received these two Ex 2 back from Ben Welte's workshop today:


Specs are:
- VN case set
- Gen Tritium Dial and hand set
- Rolex 78790 Bracelet
- Gen Bezel
- Gen crystal (No AR and no LEC)
- Gen spec case back (thickness)
- VS 3135 (not engraved) converted to a hybrid 3185 with the different parts


Specs are:
- VN Ex 2 case set
- Gen SL Dial and hand set
- Gen crystal retaining ring
- Gen Bezel ring with gen pepsi insert
- Gen crystal (No AR and no LEC)
- Gen 3135-16205 date disc
- VR 3185 (engraved as 3186)
- Gen spec case back (thickness)

The hybrid movement is running in another league. It winds so much smoother (really no noticable difference to a Gen Rolex 3135 caliber) and the jumping hour is so precise. Although I know a lot about Rolex movements now I was really impressed. If parts were not as expensive I'd replace my other two VR 3185 GMT movements with such hybrid movements.

By far, one of the most comfortable timepieces to wear.

Finaly I got the right deal, a proper NOS Phoenix MoD strap in the correct Admiral Grey...
