Starting this day up with some lightning bolt / milgauss action

Nice Milgauss Ogladio!!

Guys I couldn't resist this Dreyfuss gentlemens chronograph in RG at $1k :-) Seen here with my 44mm IWC RG Torby at the same size the Dreyfuss makes an interesting alternative at not much more than the price of the rep IWC! Either way, Orloff will make me a Santoni style croc for her and let's see how we get on. Th edial and hands are quite stunning. Best regards AJ

I can tell you that I have had a few watches built by a watchmaker here who is incredible. Mike (Misiekped). He has repaired my mistakes, he has overhauled 5 watches for me. He has built 3 watches for me. The ones he has done are all keepers. 1) Was a 16610 that I sourced all the parts for. Everything was real Rolex but the case. I wanted to use a Phong case and ended up using a 1st generation TC case. That case came from my TC16610LV. So I had him gut that one then came the second watch. 2)TC 16610LV. Now that he took out all the guts from the LV and used the case for the real 3135 on the other watch, I had ordered another case from TC to use for that. I had ordered a Yuki 3135. Mike took that and put in some parts that fail in the Yuki. That with a Gen crystal, Gen Hands, Gen date wheel, Gen bezel insert, gen crown. The watch is incredible and is my daily watch. When I went to pick up my watches from Mike he was wearing his latest invention. He had taken a Noob GMTII 116710 and took a yuki 3135 and made it a 3185. I told him I wanted it. He told me to calm down. LOL. If you know me you would have found that funny. I started to source the parts which leads me to watch number 3. 3) Noob V2 116710 Yuki/Rolex hybrid 3185. Mike gave me a link to order the Noob GMT II. I ordered it. I got a gen dial blue lum, gen bezel assembly and insert. Gen crown, gen date wheel, gen hands blue lum, Gen crystal. OMG. this is a beautiful watch. I am so happy with everything that Mike has done. He is the best and yuki is the best movement out there right now for our watches. Only problem with them are a few part that need to be swapped out for gen parts and they are dirty as hell when you get them. So a cleaning and oiling will solve that. Any other questions read the whole story from start to now. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/215568-The-perfect-16610?highlight=occb2

It is lovely. Amazing too. This is just incredible. I remember and have my first rep from the 90's. It is funny but still works like a charm. The steel is turned orange like brass. Lol

Bravo - Been saying this for some many months now. There is a guy at RWI specialising in building 16610 superfrankens and putting in gen movement, etc - pushing $3-4K...jesus.. the moment you question the build, they give you a spiel about how its a hobby and that they enjoy building it and how its priceless.. it sure is PRICE-LESS - enjoy taking a 40% loss when you sell for parts.

will be ready end of the year, also 218a, and preA 001-004 Rolli

The movement is not a copy of anything..., it most certainly is not a V23 (or 72, the 72 is simply a 23 with a 12 hr counter added) I have tried all the stems possible and none fit. I finally found a Bestfit stem that was close and needed some tweeking in the lathe to make it fit...

part # 8501

You can get still get a 7760 chronograph wheel bridge to fully convert your movement. This is basically a flat plate that will take the place of the exposed gears, bridges etc, when you start taking off the parts to convert the auto to the manual. CousinsUk still sells them....
