Impressive.
Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Looks great Sheldon, I too enjoyed the education about the dial removal.

1William · 9 March 2015, 08:32 PM

I like it. Very nice.

watchwatcher · 9 March 2015, 08:54 PM

Love colored date wheels in general...an excellent mod. Thanks for sharing it with us,

willang · 9 March 2015, 09:14 PM

What a difference this makes! Thanks for sharing.

melons · 9 March 2015, 09:28 PM

Cool!!

brandrea · 9 March 2015, 09:31 PM

Great work! Always neat to see the caseback come off. I like the mod

Homebrw · 9 March 2015, 09:34 PM

That is the bee's knees. Normally I'm not a fan of modding a Rolex but I do like me some red date wheel or seconds hand.

Grats. Beautiful and unique piece.

Degas · 9 March 2015, 10:09 PM

This is truly amazing!
Usually I don't like any changes to a Rolex, but this time it's subtle and very nice!
And of course a great watch too!

Oh and thanks for the great app recommendation

leetse2 · 9 March 2015, 10:13 PM

Very cool, like the personalization.

Interesting installation. Thanks for posting!

Nice

regnant · 9 March 2015, 11:59 PM

That's a neat mod. If I ever happen to buy a meteorite dial Daytona I would like to swap the red sub dial hands with the blue colored ones

oneev · 10 March 2015, 12:02 AM

While I like the monochrome aspect of the SD and I wouldn't have done the mod to mine, I have to say that the final result is quite nice. Thanks for sharing those pictures and the procedure, very nice and informative.

Chris1974 · 10 March 2015, 12:07 AM

Nice post. If you don't mind my asking, what type of movement holder are you using?

Nycturbovr6 · 10 March 2015, 12:55 AM

I like that! Looks great

Big Tone · 10 March 2015, 12:59 AM

Nice!

Actually, it two different holders. The one pictured is from Rolex. The other one not pictured is a nylon one that helps drop the movement out of the case, and releases the winding stem without having to use a tool to depress the stem button. Both tools only available to Rolex Certified/CW21 technicians (again, its not me who did the work, but my watchmaker... -I just snapped the images)

Ferdelious · 10 March 2015, 02:23 AM

That looks awesome, makes me want to mod mine! Thanks for sharing the great pictures!

JJL · 10 March 2015, 02:25 AM

Really cool!! Yacht-Master hand also to make it double red?

tkerrmd · 10 March 2015, 02:27 AM

Ooh didn't think of that. Good one.

Red date disk for now for reasons mentioned above, but interesting concept

strafer_kid · 10 March 2015, 11:54 PM

Nice touch - looks really well!
