My YM Mod part 1
 

First.....Welcome back TRF!!!:dude::dude::thumbsup:

Now......Just wanted to share with my friends my latest news!!!
Although old now(because of TRF downtime and my slow and not so good photo taking),I've finally made the first mod to my YM!!!
This is something I've been wanting(needing!:chuckle:)to do for almost a year now...After alot of patience and searching,I finally found a GMTII TT easylink buckle to install!! It was purchased from another member here on TRF(thanks again Nathan!:cheers:)...Although I like the original,for this watch IMO,it just didn't work for me......and boy oh boy what a difference!!!
The comfort and feel are amazingly improved,not to mention the looks!!:chuckle::chuckle:
Although it is a thicker buckle,it just fits this model to a T. I did have to change the config of the links from 6 & 4 to 5 & 5 to center the buckle on the wrist,but wow.....I'm overjoyed!!!
Overall an easy and totaly worth it,modification!!!:dude::dude:

+ as you can guess for part 2 later,a new crystal caseback will be installed to complete the transition of my new best friend!!!!:chuckle::chuckle::thumbsup:

Thanks for looking folks :cheers:

That actually looks cool, Rob! :cheers:

Thanks Jib.....:thumbsup:
It wasn't cheap,but well worth it!!!:cheers:

I have a feeling you just might have started a trend. :thumbsup:

:chuckle::chuckle:
I've done worse..:twit:

Now if only Rolex would take this route with the latest model YM.:banghead:

Looks great Rob. :thumbsup:

Thanks Rick!:cheers:

Damn,that's awesome.:thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to the crystal caseback pictures.:cheers:

Thanks Tim...I'm so happy with it this way!!:thumbsup:
Jim,I can't wait to get it on either.....I don't have the proper tools to do it myself so it'll have to wait until I can visit my AD!!:cheers:

Looks great Rob!

Thanks Richard...!:thumbsup: It's staying this way for good...:dude::agree::smokin:

That looks great Rob - the clasp that watch truly deserves :thumbsup:




Cheers

Amen to that Clive!!:thumbsup:

looks great! That old clasp - although I respect it's heritage - is my biggest issue with the YM and the Explorers. I can see myself picking up an expy II white dial someday once they make that upgrade!

Let's keep our fingers crossed Brandon....!:cheers::thumbsup:

Beautiful job Rob.

Amazing! The clasp looks so beautiful in it! Great Job, Rob!

Thanx my friends.......Got it on right now and can't decide what to look at most,TRF or the YM!!!:chuckle::chuckle::thumbsup:

Looks fantastic Robster:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::dude:

Excellent mod my friend.....great idea and like you say well worth it....looking forward to seeing it in person one day:cheers:

You will...Trust me!!!:thumbsup::cheers:

Looks nice !!!

Thanks Dennis....To me,it's like a new watch all over again!!! I'm a kid in a candy store...:chuckle::thumbsup:

I knew it would look great, thanks again Rob. I can't wait to see the caseback fitted.

Excellent. I can't wait to see it with the new case back.

Very nice mod, Rob! I think it really enhances an already lovely piece :clap: Enjoy!

Thankyou Nathan.....:thumbsup::cheers:
Neither can I.....Hopefully next week!!:thumbsup:
Thanks Karis!!!
The YM is a stunning piece in all combo's.....Just made a little better with this clasp!:thumbsup:

Perfect.
