The submariner looks stunning thank you for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
The submariner looks stunning thank you for sharing!
Jocke as usual I have just spent time have a bloody enjoyable time.
Bloody brilliant.
Truly stunning!!!
Absolutely brilliant, all of them
Thank you all for the kind words.
I'm not service the movement and I guess it takes around a hour to do a dial change and a clean up.
The soild strap is a RubberB and the darker with holes is a Isofrane.
Sorry, only for myself.
The parts I have to hunt for worldwide, it's not possible to buy those at a Rolex store. The ExpII parts I have for 10 years in my safe, just waiting for the right donate watch.
Must admit im liking that ExpII the fresh look with parts you have held for 10yrs!! just brilliant!! I wouldn't have the patience to wait 10yrs to find the right doner watch!!
You could make good money doing this for a select group of clients!!
I know franken stresses a lot of wis out but when the results look this much better than how they started it speaks for itself!!
Goodluck!!

Very nice work indeed.
Particularly like the GMT. And lovely photography too!
Not a Rolex fan, but, hey, this is just brilliant!
The blue Submariner looks stunning!
Very enjoyable read that Jocke! GMT to Explorer is brilliant.
Fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Really impressive. Not sure I could ever do anything that good but I do fancy getting a couple of knackered old watches and having a play!
If I could learn to change a crystal I'd be happy!
They look superb.
I think it was Jocke who also had a Yacht Master with a subtle red date wheel change that looked great too.
Brilliant skills and a great read.
Wow, gorgeous!
That 1680 is a killer!!
Best! Glenn
Love that explorer. Great photos and really interesting. Wish I had the talent.
Wow - the Explorer is simply stunning.
Top work that man!
Some quality... Both with the tools and the camera.
After a few years lurking here I'd expect nothing less from Jocke though :-)
I love the Daydate. Great shots, lovely work.
Thoroughly enjoyable presentation of your work and the photography is at your usual superb level.
Thanks for sharing and I’m in deep lust of this:

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
My God that 1680 is absolutely gorgeous
Frankenstein made a monster. These are masterpieces. We need a new name for this type of work.
Thank you Jocke, some truly remarkable transformations and an informative and entertaining account of how they are achieved.
Thats some truly amazing watches and photos.
Wish i could do this kind of work.
On the other hand, it makes me even more worried about buying vintage rolex without box and papers.
Thanks for sharing. I get scared changing a battery on my beater :-)
The Picture of the 1680 took my breath away, absolutely stunning.
Superb. I enjoyed reading that. Great photo's too.
Great frankening of all these three, the best one I like is gmt into exp II. I am suprised how many people like it here.
Amazing Jocke, I enjoyed reading how you put them together (and the great pictures are a definite plus points!)
Erm, I think you should put it up on VRF (and send some of them purists into a proper fit)

Great stuff as ever Jocke!
You're a master.
Really impressive. I would like to have that ability.
Great pictures as always but it was nice to see the step by step process.
