If your ROLEX has a mod, its "ghetto," Its FRANKEN !!! - here's the thread to post it in...

You misfits, miscreants, and those that just go against the grain - even if its a cyclops-less crystal, show your colors !

Priek Casebacks
Funky Colored Bezel inserts
Dial swappers
Bracelet and clasp changers (Yes, you have a home here too)...

Here's my contribution to the madness !

The cyclops section of the crystal is an applied piece of sapphire; its glued on and is easily removed with nail polish remover...
