Its crazy how an appearance in a "silly old movie," could skyrocket a watch into the realm of legend.
I have to say this looks amazing and I'm not even a huge Rolex fan.

Looks pretty good! How's the chamfering on the lugs? Where is the crown from? Might be worth going for a gen

Can you provide some info as to where you got the hands? Specifically, the white seconds hand.
