I have recently done some basic mods on a couple watches. But I'm just starting out with this stuff.
First was an SRPE. Replaced the bracelet, crystal, chapter ring, and bezel to make a Datejusty style.  Attached FileSecond was just swapping a movement around so that I could have a proper acrylic crystal.  Attached File |

I think my next one will be a gold cased dive watch with a seamaster style bezel. Can't decide on a dial...probably will do a GMT since I don't have one yet.
Has anyone sent casebacks out to get engraved anywhere? I'd like to engrave the ones I made for the kids, but there space is really tight since they're clear ones. I need a place that can do really small lettering that isn't going to charge an arm and a leg. I might try a local place... |

Since you have the clear case backs, get a rotor weight sticker engraved. There''s a guy in the U.K. that does it.I''ve purchased 2 covers from him, and his work is spot on.
He goes by nattyjade on ebay. I tried to copy a link and post it, and it went wacko on here. |

I've considered that as well, but thought the quality might be lacking. They don't look like stickers? I will check him out, thanks. |

Just peel and stick. |

Recently came across a new watch band website everyone might enjoy parts from.
https://www.partsforwatch.com/product/bracelet-acier-steel-strap-band-21mm-for-rolex-deepsea-explorer-ii-replacement/ This is their copy of the 21mm Deepsea Sea Dweller band and glidelock clasp. The Sea Dweller Gildelock Clasp is possibly the best clasp design currently made. 20mm of quick adjustment is very nice. They also offer the glidelock clasp for GMT and Sub bands. The Sea Dweller clasp accepts 9mm oyster bracelet connections and 18mm bracelet width. |
