Not a fan of Daytonas but I must say,
That is a sexy watch.

And it looks like a dial swap, for the WG version.

You brushed the Bezel too? I would never do this on my watches but I must say, it looks better brushed all over than just the brushed PCL's I see on some others. You have my approval! (not that you wanted it, lol)

I am not 100% sure how he did the Bezel, but it is not brushed the normal way. It still has a sheen to it but not polished.

Great job!

Rikki did a heckuva brush job. (Can't wait to see his work on a certain "green forum" that shall remain nameless here!) The WG dial on the SS is a cool detail too. Did you furnish him the dial for swap or just tell him what you wanted and he sourced it?

I've always been anti-mod on Rolex watches, but I've seen a few lately that I really like.


I think it looks really cool!
