Very cool. Once the pcl's get all scratched up this looks way better. And I once thought about taking a red gnat hand and a red date wheel and putting on a gmt.

Congratulations. That looks great. If given the choice between the two I'd pick that over the original every time.

It's a well executed mod.

However it would render the date useless for me, too small.

I'll wait and see how I feel about this one after a while, but I certainly wouldn't rule out changing the crystal on the BLRO...

Yeah, I'd wait Clive on the big dog, love the mods, esp the green, but the date window looks a bit too central now don't you find, bit like the 15400.

I'll certainly be waiting with the BLRO Neil. I see what you're saying about the date window, but it doesn't bother me (IMHO looks just like the SD4K).

Nooooooo!!!! Kidding of course...

Looks great, so clean. At the very least, the cyclops should be an option on Rolex watches.

My Thoughts On This Mod:

Removing cyclops? Not for me, I can't see well.
Green Date Wheel? Love.
Brushed Oyster Bracelet? Love.

So this is a winner in my book, just not a fan due to the functionality loss of the mag.

I can't read the date even with the cyclops the way my eyes have gone in the last couple of years....so I decided to go without!
