They look great jocke. For me if they're all using OEM Genuine Rolex parts it's never a frankenwatch, just nice modifications!

I love my modification!!

If I ever get a DD, I'd love to get one not in English. Living in America, I feel like it'd be a nice little subtle detail to pop out a bit.

+1.
Especially if the characters don't resemble the characters in English, like Arabic...

I love this Daytona mod. I just don't have the courage to mod mine, especially under warranty.

Jocke's Yacht-Master looks great too - love the red date wheel. I have pic of this watch in my iMac' wallpaper. I have never thought of this mod as a Franken-watch.

Agreed!!! I love that GMT/Explorer.

Just wait until I slap a Pep-C bezel on my BLNR. Don't tell me it can't be done. That will just give me more incentive.

If loving your "frankens" is wrong, I don't want to be right.
