@Jxwatch I have a gen 116520 and compare it all the time otherwise it wouldn't bother me. Once you see it you cant un see it. I know its me 🙄

First of all, i would like to say thank god i have found Legend. The guy lives up to his name! He was very courteous, good comms skills and knowledgable. attention to detail is amazing! Highly recommended as a modder and now a good friend after we had an experience w customs Took around 2-3 weeks to wait to mod (the wait is worth it!), but then unfortunately we shipped it via a good and reliable sing post but it was forwarded to dhl when it arrived to thailand. and it got stuck in customs for another week!!!! (Dont use dhl is asia!) but man, was legend super supportive and concerned and kept good communication all the way! Kudos to this kind and good man. Long story short, we sent a dummy rolex receipt to the customs (thanks google). And voila we fooled them!!! Haha. What an experience but it really proved that legend was a good guy! And customs can be solved I know there are a lot of hype on the noob4130 but to me im happy with my baby, arf 116520 on its own. Some specs: -gen dial black -shaved pushers patterned to legends gen -relumed green hands to match the gen dial -serviced 7750 -rotor silenced -waterproofed 5-6 atm Amazing!!!! To all- legend is a true artist and very happy to have worked w him!!!! On to some pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk @legend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its only noticeable if you have skinny wrists like mine, most people could hide it in their skin. Annoying as im not even a skinny guy I just have stupid skinny wrists lol @Legend

"Hmm with all due respect the heavy hitters from Vietnam now are ten times the quality of the old fellas in the market." I understand that. Paul's $10 dials were only an example of how little an average dial cost to make 12/15 years ago. Today a first rate dial probably cost $40 to $60 to make in VN...or less. "Honestly on a level to be par with genuine manufacturers." They are good all right. Probably as good as the 1960s/1970s genuine dials. The process is the same for $30 dials and $300 dials...a pad printer, dial blanks, and a few drones to do the work. Stamp 'Singer' on the blank, solder the dial feet to the blank, paint the dial, stamp the letters, apply the lume. Applying the lume is the only hard thing about it. No applied markers or anything out of the ordinary to fool with, just $3 to $5 in material and a couple hour's work. On a crude production line they can probably turn out 40 or 50 a day. Maybe more. One main thing that determines how close a repdial is to original is how close the cliché plate is to the genuine dial to start with. "honestly MQ, phong, ruby etc... could be spot on if they pay attention to detail." One problem (imho) could be they might not want to get it right in one whack. If they get a little bit better every year, think how many more dials they can sell. I have one genuine Mk I Lemrich 1680 dial. It is no better that my 1680 dial from IG44...except it has tritium markers and looks older. I would rather have the IG44 dial on an otherwise genuine 1680 than a modern 'genuine' dial with 'swiss' at the bottom. After all, it is not really 'genuine' either. It's a rerun. I do not like 'genuine' 44xxxx replacement cases very much either. How can you tell one from a professionally finished replica case? A Yuki 5513 case with 44xxxx serial number might pass after it has been worn a few years. Here is a Lemrich Mk I dial: http://rolexpassionmarket.com/watches/rolex-1680-submariner-fantastic-mk1-lemrich-dial-circa-1977/

"I agree on the random high prices. It's starting to [censored] me off." Yeah. Me too. How does Raff sell a fair dial for $30 and one a little bit better from someone else is $250? When 'Paul' was in business, his dials were $10 and free delivery. Ten Bucks! Not that hot by today's standards, but only $10.

Can you post a guide on how to shave pushers?
