If you like it then thats all that matters.

bayerische · 12 July 2013, 06:25 PM

I like that!

How did you score that orange hand?

Very well balanced IMHO!

Nycturbovr6 · 12 July 2013, 10:14 PM

Looks nice! What crystal is that?

JJL · 12 July 2013, 11:38 PM

mike · 20 July 2013, 09:27 AM

I have to say that looks pretty sweet.

slim4511 · 20 July 2013, 09:30 AM

Interesting. I like it.

Andad · 20 July 2013, 09:44 AM

Nice pix.

That is how it should look.

But I would prefer it with the cyclops.

GradyPhilpott · 20 July 2013, 09:52 AM

lja1821 · 20 July 2013, 10:01 AM

jlee5050 · 20 July 2013, 04:46 PM

OMG that is so cool.

DCheeta · 20 July 2013, 04:49 PM

That's a perfect Explorer II! How did you get the cyclops off - using the torch lighter method?

gmax · 20 July 2013, 05:02 PM

Bravo!

Friedl41 · 20 July 2013, 05:12 PM

Very nice. In think a tool watch does not need a cyclops ...just imo

Harry32 · 29 August 2013, 07:41 PM

I'm modding a 1655 hand to fit in there... the problem is the order of assembly of the hands ( in 1655 is the hand below all, in the 16570 it' above the hour hand. But it is simple to cut the hand and super glue it onto a smaller ring. I will post pics...

AK797 · 30 August 2013, 03:42 AM

Looks fine.

1675-David · 30 August 2013, 03:45 AM

Great mod. I have never considered getting a 16570...until now

cecilia · 30 August 2013, 03:56 AM

I like it alot, very nice. Iam a sucker for red and orange.

CWIN · 30 August 2013, 04:11 AM

I think that looks fantastic. Great job!
