Hi,

I'm very much a noob here and to be honest new to the world of rolex too, though have bought & sold many watches over the years.

I have also started trying my hand at being a hobby watch smith (with the help of a friend who's a master).

I have just managed to source an Y series sub that's all beat up but I'm pretty sure I can manage to bring it back to life.
I've purchased a couple of bits an pieces including a new bracelet and clasp, and a couple of bezel inserts...
One of eBay and one from mkmk on here! (1 flat 4 & 1 pointy 4)

I'm away for work for a while but when I return, all my parts should have arrived and will be ready for me to begin my project!

So in the meantime, I'll be reading threads and learning as much as I can.

Cheers!

Glad you have some guidance! That way you know you'll be successful. Report back with your finished product but make sure you take before shots as well.

Good luck!!!
