Rolex Datejust 3135 Model 16233
Part Installation and movement overhaul performed in my shop...Added Diamond-Sapphire Bezel, Mother of Pearl Diamond refinished Genuine Dial. Wish I could show how the diamonds sparkle. It's magic!
First picture is BEFORE mods and cleaning. After I received the watch it stopped once even though the movement appeared to be very clean. During the overhaul I found many small particles here and there as well as a lack of needed lubrication. Keeps time now to within 1/4 sec per day and no more stopping. I absolutely love this watch.

Well since we are showing off modified Rolexes, here is something we are working on. Custom designed stainless steel bezels. This is one of 12 prototypes we are working on the for the 36mm DateJust. The fitment is precise. Using 316L Stainless Steel. These are machined and not cast.
We are in the process of adjusting the fins for alignment, but I'm so excited that I wanted to share with my TRF friends! We are also working on a rotating bezel for the DateJust similar to the Turn-O-Graph.

Didn't know how I felt about it on first blush, but I think this is kinda cool.

If I won the lottery that would be the last Rolex I'd ever consider buying. Lol

A dial swap for the SS Daytona makes a world of a difference IMO, wonderful array of dials you have there! Especially that silver one towards the top of the pic!

This is the best thread!!! I'm not the only one who likes to have a customized Rolex. I have changed dials on a few and some minor stuff. I love this
