OC v1 conversion to first series 1989 16710 version.
Had the luck to grab a V1 16710 case which I prefer over the V2 which does not have enough meat for me to work with. Reshaped the whole case/crownguards/recessed crown. Added some scuffs so it looks like it has been swapping bracelets back and forth for the last decade. Light patina on caseback. Beacuse, for me everything has to match.
I take pride in my work and I won’t leave a case half done. And FYI -There is NO rep case which has the correct brushings or either the exact dimensions. If it’s either the lugs rehaut or whatever something is off.
So add how many gen parts u want. The ones who know will still know. Anyway the last two pics are reference pictures of what we’re going for.
Lastly I have to adress this. Lately I been getting alot of reshaped cases sent to me for further reshaping. And oh lord…. I been seeing alot of so called reshaped cases from various ”builders” and clients are telling me they get charged over 500 bucks to get a slightly dremeled fucking BP/raffles case. On top of that u can still see the fucking dremel marks on the case 🤣
Don’t get fooled folks. Do ur due diligence and don’t pay people to practice on ur cases.
Not even fucking Rolex charges 500 to reshape a case.
- results speak for themselves and once people realize they can’t resell their commissioned builds for even near the price they payed for them. All these clowns will disappear. I have love for this community and I hate seeing people getting ripped off. Thanks
