The ultimate 5512 (with floating hand lol)

Hows this for a floating hand then Steve This was recently for sale on the bay, a genuine 5512 with a few mods. Note the loose "floating" second hand near to top of the dial.....what a waste of a good watch (APOLOGIES IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN SEEN)

Link if anyone is interested in the full story http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Submariner-5 ... 0411800295

Is this smelly turd up for sale again? Why would anyone ever have this done to a Rolex I'll never know. But...IMO with some $ it can still be salvaged. Maybe sell the diamonds and finance the work!

Lol This is actually my watch. I do agree it is very ugly but I didn't make it that way. I actually can't sell it on Ebay anymore because it was reported as counterfeit or something. Although its not and someone is just dumb, I have it forever it seems.

That Watch

I would have never confessed to owning that watch.

BTW: Did you find it inside the corner of a vault maybe?
