completely awesome, Jocke - great work

stupid question - but when the crystal is put back in, how is it ensured that the Cyclops is aligned with the date window?

With pictures and text like yours Jocke, learning is fun. Our schools, as well as repair manual writers, could learn from you. My 16 year old could too -- do what you love man!

That was one magical visionary mission to undertake. It looks so different with the nipple dial.

Was the dial one that went with the original all YG Sub back in the day?

And the whole project was well shown with your pictures

He call me a liar.

I told him how he dare to call me that.

Then I got a reply with a LOL.

Now I wonder who will laugh at the end?

i'm shocked that a member would say that to you jocke. shocked. are you sure that you told him blue? its a stunner bud congratulations.

Honestly I love these threads of yours that you make. The pictures and commentary are superb.

I have to ask.... Are you a watch maker by profession?

Jocke, you are one talented individual. I wish I could do stuff like that. I consider it a major accomplishment when I can remove my SS bracelet and put on a NATO strap!
Outstanding pics and a gorgeous one of a kind Rolex!
