Rivet watch Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

A while ago I had a Rolex Explorer II 216570 in a A23J version. A while ago Noob factory released their version with CHS and A3187 movement. A friend of mine told me not to buy that watch because he heard lot's of horror stories about that movement. The TD told me most of the returned broken watches get back because of the user of the watch. They don't know how to use that movement (setting the GMT/Time/Date). I'm wondering if you have any expierience with this watch and especially the movement. Thank you in advance

The look like mozzarella sticks from McDonalds

Already told you, no problem here, handle the movement carefully, nothing will break [emoji6] Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met Tapatalk Pro

..... and very nice they are too.

It's a croquett (in Dutch "kroket"). It's meat ragout covered in breadcumbs which is subsequently deep-fried

Actually I have 2 pcs of Domed sapphires with OD actually made for fitting in place of 25-295(C) Here comes some more self-advertising, but check the trades are later. They actually were for (as far as I know) the first Tempus Machina-replica-project ever. That got scrapped after several years due to annoying Vietnamese dial maker that simply couldn't follow instructions... Here's some info: Yeah, correct and incorrect. The only reason they used a 800 crown is since the 6538 they we're emulating used a 8mm Brevet-crown. Their 809H (5512 Explorer) uses the stock 7mm Triplock, even though a 700-crown Twinlock would be more suiting.

i can see your point and @hologramet point - i guess it depends on how similar does the OP wants his 114270 build to look like a 114270 or a Tempus Machina (TM) influenced 1016 - both watches/style are quite unique by nature if OP pursues a ARF 116234 datejust, then i probably would approach it like this - smooth bezel (raffles 36mm) - domed sapphire or I think a clarks 25-135 plexi might fit (because a gen 25-295c fits my gen 16000 case so I assume they can fit the opposite?) - gilt 28mm 1016 dial with gold sub hands - possibly athaya 700/800 bigger crown and tube (but i think it would look funny with a bigger crown, so i will leave the stock crown alone) - heavily chamfered lugs with brushed finish - brush the stock ARF bracelet or buy a raffles oyster bracelet 78360 for $30 the above recommendations are based on the TM 116610 and its visual mods (that are relevant for a TM-inspired 116234) : 1. heavily chamfered lugs with brushed finish 2. gilt dial with gold hands 3. bigger crown 4. domed crystal 5. brushed bracelet

Everything is possible, the big question is... How much will it cost you? Have you thought about using the DJ 36mm as a base: https://puretime03.com/featured-products/datejust-36-ss-116234-arf-1-1-best-edition-silver-dial-on-904l-ss-oyster-bracelet-sa3135.html You will get 3 important parts: 1) Good movement (just remove the day-complication) 2) Good case 3) Good bracelet with great SEL What remains case-wise is changing the x-tal and finding a good smooth bezel.. And well of course, the mods you mention above...

Gen Moonie today.
