I 100% applaud the OP's decision. It looks stunning! Years back I was heavy into the car modification scene and I guess I carry the mentality with me, because I see nothing wrong with this. Rolex watches aren't something handed down from the gods that can't ever be changed and considered with religious-like reverence. It's just a watch, people.
Thanks buddy. I know I dont know everything about watches but I don't find anything wrong if you change your watch just a little to differentiate from everyone else. I know purist might be against this idea but if you change a part here and there, especially with Original Rolex parts, you are not trying to cheat anyone you are just trying to be different. I was thinking about buying the 116509 but I am just not a fan of white gold per say. I rather have steel and just loved this blue dial rolex made.

Exactly, anyone who knows their Rolex wouldnt be fool by just the dial. Even if I had changed the bezel, the crown guards / the lugs shape and the bracelet end links are different on the WG version.
