WOW, Tony D!!! It's a stunning transformation, like night and day. The dialwork goes very well with that amazing bezel. Now that's a watch I'd wear a whole lot. Kudos, amigo! Wear the transformed one in good health.hand6.gif

Kieth, I do like a date wheel, but without it the dial is very balanced IMHO so not a big deal.....if I need a dated 300m I could always wear the Reef Ranger;):D

Beautiful.  I love that dial and perfect choice for hands.

I am one of those wackos that prefer a watch with no date window so that is another plus.

Great looking transformation Tony.  I didn't even realize that you could do something like that; it is like night and day.  Enjoy wearing your new custom timepiece, it's cool.  hand6.gifhand6.gif

Tony...much, much better than the original...and I like no dtae wheel as it is just one thing less to set!

BTW, who is "THEY" that said it couldn't be done?

Well...that gives me a pretty good idea...so, I gues "they" aren't as good as they think they are or are touted to be!

Way to go, Chris!!!! hand6.gif

People used to tell me I couldn't rebuild my turbo chargers too but it never stopped me either!

I have kicked myself for a long time about not getting one of those when they were available, I was sorry to see yours go!
I hope you enjoy it Tony!
