@cc33.. Simply Stunning... I have a 7922 on for today

...never thought it would happen. With the addition of these two: ...on gen straps: ...my keeper-box has a full row without a single PAM: Frankly, I'm amazed. I'm a diverse mofo after all! S

Too bad this project crashed, I know a few folks got crystals,The gen crystals are available from time to time, but they are expensive!! i bought one ovver a year ago for my GMT IIC and it was around 275.00USD. The nice thing about a gen, if it doesn't work out, you can usually sell it on one of the gen forums and get your money back.

It's the Snow Dweller for today

Old 2915

still better than 100% made in China. I feel when its cased or assembled at least some siwss quality control plays into it and its not just slapped together by some child labour force, but an actual career trained swiss watch maker. I do believe Rolex still makes all their parts in the EU, even Omega. in my own pursuit to find manufacturers you learn a lot about which companies supply to the big swiss ones, i have a contact for the company that makes the cases for Omega and they are in Switzerland, I also have a contact for the steel company that supplies to them. none of which is in my budget or scale currently i also have contacts for the factories that make bulova, fossil and doxa. i can say the parts made in China is absolutley true, then again these arent overly expensive watches and the finish is decent to say the least. but yes there are huge mark ups and premiums on every swiss watch sold probably around 80%, most people who buy them wont even realize their origin or care to think about it, along as their wrist says Rolex and it's legible from several feet away that theyre wearing one.

You mean the 3799 ;-) Nice watch btw

DuDro, I have a spare after market T19 that you can have, if you want it... just like the one on my "ugly sub"
