Actually, what's the total damage for the watch + the modz?
I always thought that was the default watch

Thats a good start isnt it

The stock hands for the 57 are swords, these are modded hands from yobokies. I must say though, the hardlex crystal has a better shape than the sapphire one I modded.

Hmm i think i would keep the stock hardlex as well until and if i manage to really scratch it up. I think i would go for the Dagaz FF "modern" dial with silver indices, keep the stock hands (unless i can find something nicer) and Harold's lumed insert....

my first order with bradystrap is here!! (black sailcloth with black stitching)

the texture is really really smooth though - definitely feels better than the Paros. But I'm not a man of details so the Paros will do just fine for me.

fellow forumer has reserved the strap (bradystrap) awaiting transaction......

cost: 34.95 USD
handling fee: 4.00 USD (bradystrap)
Total: 38.95 USD

ordered 1st week of May iirc......

Popped over during lunch to get my MM style hands fitted on my 007...

Wish the lume isn't so green on the hands but okay la, i prefer the shape over the stock hands. The strapcode super jubilee is very solid and comfy. Still hunting for a SKX171 dial or sterile MM300 style dial. Also considering swapping the bezel insert for a glass insert with lume from Harold. Anyone can comment on the quality of Harold's glass inserts?

Sad.. All my stuffs are here..looks like I'm not free thru Sunday.. But keep the pics of the modded result coming!!

I think prob 400 including strap and buckle. Less 50+ if u decide to stick to hardlex crystal.

shameless plug. harold's glass insert quality is above average but not oem good in terms of sharpness of the graphics.

Hmm okay, cos thinking of getting the version for SKX007..but afraid it will crack easily or spoil the look of the 007..
