This is stunning. Really.

Explain to the new guy: how does one go about getting something like this?
Did you salvage the hands from a working Yachtmaster or find one in less than pristine condition?

That thing is an internet classic by now, Jason!

I'm actually thinking of putting wider hands on my A-series SD, keeping it ss even if the PVD is tempting. And gorgeous.

thoughts on where to find 116520 parts? not to thread jack, but I am
looking for soup to nuts (other than case/bezel)...

Hi -

I'm new to this forum (had my Explorer II for three days now - love it ) and I'm wondering where one buys replacement parts. I like the jubilee band (brushed/polished one) and would like to pick one up someday but I don't want to buy a fake. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is only one real reason to get a Sea Dweller over a Sub: The lack of a cyclops. (Nobody uses the 4000' rating). What were you thinking?

So my question becomes: Who will perform Service Center-quality service on your non-original Rolex?

Here are a few pics of my Daytonas with custom black acrylic bezel insert. I just had 5 of these bezels custom made and will post them in the for sale section. A direct replacement for any 16520 or 116520 Daytona Bezel.
