  1. Guys we are doing a fund raiser for a member in need there are 118 of us here right now so a lot of money is not key but a lot of participation is! Think about just 5 bucks from that group would add up to over 500 dollars!! The PP is mvmsr22@gmail.com put in your form name in notes I will PM you w/ details, rather than put this out in the open. I'm sure you would rather it that way if it were you. So whatever 5-10 bucks more if you can, it all adds up.................

  2. So, my boss has a gen 1680 he picked up about 15 years or so ago from the original owner. IIRC, he said he paid somewhere around $1,000 for it. Last spring I asked him if I could take a bunch of pics as I would like to build a rep of it and needed some reference photos. He handed it to me and said go for it. As it turned out, I didn't have to build the rep myself. Instead I lucked into one already built up with a host of gen parts that I could purchase at a reasonable price. So, for comparison purposes, here are a couple of pics of my bosses gen and also of my recently acquired rep. Pics of gen are first, followed by a pic of the rep from a similar angle. For those that are interested, here are the build specs as I understand them. Case: Polex (laser etched 5513) Dial: gen Rolex service Hands: gen Rolex service Crystal: gen Rolex service Crown: gen Rolex service Crown Tube: gen Rolex service Bezel insert: gen Rolex service Movement: Gen ETA 2836 Bracelet: Tiger Concepts with WSO 580 end links and a TC 93250 clasp Pressure tested to 5atm by misiekped, who I also understand completed the original build. Let me know what you think. I also have more pics I will share later on in the thread. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

  10. I finally got around to building me one a couple weeks ago. I sold my Explorer several years ago intending to build another and kept running out of cases before I built me one. This time I built me one first! Guess it's been 5 years or so since I had one...

  13. I know we've already seen pics of a TC16610LN, but here are a few pics of my recently acquired TC16610LV V6 for comparison. They really are quite nice watches. Not perfect, but still very nice. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

  15. My take on this is to have it looked at... if it's OK, leave it, but if there's something wrong, even just some dirt inside to get it serviced... Where there's smoke, there's fire

  16. AH Woody everybody has their opinion on this now some thinking about where rep movements come from and the questionable QC well they service it as soon as they get it, now others are in the " if it ain't broke don't fix it " camp. Your call................ PS as others have stated this is a tough movement to work only a rep watch smith should be used and a damn good one at that.

  19. A $3.5k franken of an Ap Offshore (currently $27,500 new and $14k or so used) is no different than a $1300 franken of a $4k sub. The numbers are just bigger. And of course I should add that an AP Offshore is a baller watch.
