Custom Rolex GMT Yellow Gold 116718LN Build

I’ve been kind of pumped for this 116718 build for quite some time and when one of the better heavy gmt model came out, I thought I’d try to dabble in making this happens. Finally excited to show off where we landed. As always critique and feedback is always welcomed but please be friendly.

Pic 1
We started with the RGF WG Meteorite GMT 126719BLRO Model.

Pics 2-5
Then we had it sent for plating in 1N14 yellow gold tone.

Pics 6-7
At the same time sourced some custom made dial/print, bezel and hands.

Pics 8-17
And the build finally got wrapped up and added 2AR crystals. It’s in transit to me and I will certainly take pics once it arrives but for now enjoy the qc pics.

Pics 18-20
While I wait for this to arrive, I’m enjoying a previous build I competed. RGF GMT with RG plating, tiger iron dial swapped and 2AR crystal.

[WTS] [CONUS] Custom Lemans RG Daytona with Free Sprung JH4132 and Rose Gold Plating

Custom Lemans RG Daytona (heavy weight)
JH4132 Free Sprung
Rose Gold Plated
Around 204g fully linked

I have babied this watch since the day I got it. This is one of the nicest builds I was able to get done. The finish, quality, fit is the best I’ve experienced. The dial is stunning and the free sprung movement with the see-through caseback makes this pretty much a 1:1 to Gen. The heavy weight balance from the case to bracelet is refreshing as the VSF and QF doesn’t get close.

Gen Rolex Gold matching plating

I’ve been working with an individual on the east coast for the last 3-6 months trying to perfect the plating color of all the Rolex precious metals. This post is strictly on the RoseGold as I’d say that’s been the most challenging. The gen examples we’ve used, have been very different case by case. The colors are not consistent in gen especially if they’ve had time to oxidize. I’d say we got them pretty dialed in but would love the feedback of others in the hobby! Do we need more platinum? More pink?

The pics I’m posting is comparing stock RGF plating to the new RG plating color. Stock RGF is some lighting is really close/good and in some angles very coppery. This plating removes that hideous copper tones. Would love the communities feedback. Yellow Gold and White Gold examples to soon follow! I’m getting some watches done by him and would love some feedback.

[WTS] [CONUS] 3KF 5711 Nautilus Tiffany with Rose Gold Plating and Highly Modded

Hi all,

This is an opportunity for someone to scoop up one of my favorite off-catalogue and tiffany dial builds. Everytime I see this watch, it makes me happy and the combination of mods is very well done. Similar to most of my builds, this just doesn't get enough wear time and I would like to free up some space and get some funds for some new builds I am working on.

Up for sale is my highly modded 5711 thats been rose gold plated and majority of the parts upgraded. I've had this for a little over 2 years and have worn it a handful of times. I paid too much for it at that time but I still think it is holding some value due to the mods it has. There was slight blemishes on the bezel that you can tell in the pics but everything is in pretty good condition.

The condition is overall very very good. There are minimal signs of wear—my items are kept in excellent condition. However, please note that this is not a brand-new watch, so minor hairline marks will be present.

The build specs are as follows:

Specs:

5711 Rose Gold Nautilus
3KF Base
Full Polish and Rebrush
Rose Gold Wrap to match gen coloor
Buff Dial
Buff Hands
Buff Datewheel
Custom Tiffany&Co Stamp
Laser Engraved Movement
DEEP Crystal
Flexible First link mod

Paid: 2500ish
Asking: 1100 shipped (CONUS only) — FedEx 2Day (default insurance)

u/Rhdune16 — 2 months ago
▲ 36 r/Audi

Used 22 A8 purchased, need some direction… please constructive feedback

Bought 2022 A8L with 36k miles around December. Nearing 40k miles now. FYI, I have factory warranty for 2 more months. Would love some insights on what I should focus on immediately based on what I want vs what it needs.

It’s due for 40k service, what does that entail besides oil change?

What other maintenance stuff should I be exploring or can these wait until I have more miles on the car? I’m a very handy person and also used to tuning cars but this is my first high tech Euro car. If there’s anything I can do myself without a bunch of specialized tools, I’d love to know that. (YouTube doesn’t have many DIY for this car).

- spark plug change
- brake fluid flush
- transmission fluid flush
- engine intake and cabin filters
- anything else?

Want:
- Cete Lowering Module
- Front and Rear Lip Kit
- 22” Wheels

Excited to be part of the community and get back to my tuning days!
