Thanks, I'm with you! The dome is pure class Speaking of pure class.. Your 6538... Wow.. I'm speechless Great pic and great band

^^^ seems like some people need it fully laid out. Step 1. Remove bezel. Step 2. CAREFULLY remove the click spring and take off the tension washer. Step 3. Remove retaining ring around crystal. if you dont have the proper tools, this can be done very carefully with a Xacto knife and a thin screwdriver. just be sure to tape up the case so it doesnt scratch. Step 4. Remove crystal + Gasket from either the case or the retaining ring. Step 5. Clean the hell out of new crystal with something that produces as little lint as possible. i find the little cloths for your eye glasses works best. Step 6. With a blower or keyboard duster, get all the dirt and lint off the underside of the crystal. (This sounds easy but itll). - Check under a bright light to be sure its crystal clear. wearing gloves helps this process move a little faster. Step 7. Attach new crystal to new gasket and align it on the case. Step 8. Attach retaining ring to the top of the crystal and push down as far as you can with your hands. Step 9. Tighten (if you can push the retaining ring all the way down with your hands, you probably need a new gasket. - A Crystal press works best but if you dont have one, you can DIY one for fairly cheap. - DIY Crystal press (pretty ghetto but it works) : just go to your local hardware store and pick up a PVC pipe that fits perfectly over the retaining ring and a C-Clamp. Cut the pipe to about a inch tall. Cover the edge with masking tape or something that wont scratch the retaining ring. Put the piece of pipe over the retaining ring and lay a block of wood (anything flat and hard) over the pipe and cloth on the bottom of case. Get a C- Clamp and put it over the block of wood and the bottom of the watch case so nothing gets scratched. tighten. Step 10. realize you missed some dust and finger print on the under side and start over. this may happen a few times if its your first time. Step 11. Attach tension washer, click spring and bezel. Step 12. Admire your new crystal from every angle and second guess it being straight over the date window.

REal WIS are NOT against fakes....unless it is a fake WATCH. If it is a watch, with a movement and hands and such, then it is a watch and thus cannot be hated by a true WIS. The effort, energy, work and talent that goes into a genuine watch also goes into a replica (fake) watch. Chinese copies are very good these days and I have Chinese movements that rival COSC standards. Any WIS who states that they hate reps (fakes) completely misunderstand the true concept of a WIS. It is Watch Idiot Savant...not Gen Watch etc. Those who hate reps are usually effete snobs or those who are [censored] that others paid so much less for watches that look and often run as well.

I was banned from RWI a good while back as well. FOund this place and don't miss RWI. I stick my head in at RG and the other RWG but here is where I feel most comfortable.

Just to put things right, That wasn´t a mod at all - he said he was a mod not being, he was just banned today on rwi for trying to sell a watch with a photoshopped gen dial on it and Your case is mentioned too: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/226844-Welcome-to-The-Brig-Rolexxx-(aka-I-lt-3rolex-and-foolex)

For cases that are still pretty easy to find... I have to say that the NOOB N Series V3 is the best. I honestly think the 111M is the best option I have ever seen based on the sample that I reahaped for my 201/A build. The lugs were perfect straight out of the box with no modification

Reworked and pieced together the bracelet and clasp from a handful of TC's laying around. I think she is done. Looks, feels and wears like a 10 year old watch. This may be the nicest <2k I have ever owned. If anyone is on the fence about the 116610 AR crystal, even though not period correct a significant improvement IMHO. Waiting for the fed ex guy. Hopefully soon I will be posting a wrist shot of the big crown. Sent from my droptop using telepathy [emoji466]️

Interesting to know as well so that no one get this kinda dispute and PP locked. Take care Micky, will be in touch with you soon once your backlog been fulfilled.

Bummer that you cannot get this one anymore. The updated version with Miyota movement has wrong hands that are too thin.
