I'd shoot him an email and at least ask for credits to be added. And maybe a discount on future purchase.

Nice job on the case-back and the photos! Looks great!

Looks great! I can't understand why rolex refuses to add this feature! My problem would be having the ability to do what you jut did without messing something up. I think it looks much better than stock

I'm tempted myself, and I never mess with stock! The one worthy mod.

Any results on the presssure test? I'm a pretty much a stock Rolex guy but this mod is easy and easy to change back. Will be doing this for my incoming 3186 GMT so I can ponder that expensive blue spring.

Funny, I'll be doing the same thing on the 16710 / 3186 that I re-purchased for (uh much) more that than I initially flipped it. Caseback coming this week.

Oh, BTW, great review and nice picts and de-bunking the shower / gasket myth. I have had the same experience with replacing casebacks.
