So after practicing builds with silix and he cases I finally took the plunge and got a nice Vietnam case and dial and put together a nice 6538 sub. I used a 2824 movement with h4 cannon pinion I sanded the nickel plating from the bezel and aged the insert a bit and added an athaya pearl (the colour dried lighter than I wanted tho) I aged the hands (maybe too much) and I think I will add a big ball second hand soon, Overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

Hi guys, Sorry if this has been discussed before but what's the consensus about the latest SA3135 Noob Seadweller 4000? Has it been improved like the V7 Submariner? Thank you all for your help.

Hi everyone, I found this forum today by accident and thought I should register. I have been collecting some watches for the past few years (nothing exciting) and now I got interested in replicas/building watches. I'm completely new to the topic, so I hope I can find a lot of useful information here.

New exclamation dot dial with improved coronet and better lume. Gen service T19 replaced by a T19 dome. Side by side with her sister

Now... This one was something !!! And the result is worth every drop of sweat !!!! The case polishing was redone twice untill I could achieve the crisp edges I was after to match the great Phong bezel featuring a too nice finish to be repolished "aged" style. So: aim was NOS condition ! No the easiest aim... Mid case and case back are cartel. the caseback was shaved to achieve the super low dome shape of the genuine watch -cartel original shape it much too thick- and the mid case was considerably modified on the CG side. Dial was an adventure too: custom made on a ETA plate. Over 6 month of waiting... Anyways :no glued on dial !!!! Super sharp fit with a date that snaps at midnight and will never get caught rubbing the dial. Lume was done as thin as possible to accomodate the hands stack: Needles are straight. Not bent up to accomodate the lume... In short: it's as perfect as can be using a ETA machine. Genuine crystal, cartel hands (from an other model. The ugly oversized case one... purchased for the hands only!) Enjoy the pictures !!!!

You do know that the R factory don't have any Trusted Dealers here don't you? ??? The bezel falls off or the movement goes bang and you're on your own. Mods ain't getting involved Seriously though, nice, enjoy

I don't think the hands look excessively aged, they are meant to look over sixty years old. I think they look rather good, as does the rest of the build.

Hey my friend! Nice piece there Mr "C".

they are working on it, for now it might be a good idea to keep each other informed in here

Most people agree that the latest a3135 model is a super-rep. (Ref. Not worth buying in gen thread on RWI) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
