I decided to try my hand at modding after seeing the amazing stuff you guys have done and posted on the different sites. I went with an Ebay 6309 refurb. Case had been refinished, bezel, dial and hands replaced, ran perfect. I got my parts from Noah and Harold and gave it a whirl. Heres a couple before and after:
Standard Ebay refurb, good shape, runs perfect

dial and hands to swap:

new sapphire:

Finished!!


Have one I finished recently and another in the works. You guys are inspirational!!
