NOS 14K Bulova from early 1980s... Original strap with 'homemade' 14K buckle... A jewelry repair friend and I made 5 or 6 of these buckles 20+ years ago. The buckle body was an unsigned stainless steel accessory buckle, the A-tron symbol was from an old buckle and attached to the steel buckle, then a mold was made from it. It took all day to make them. 4-17-24 Misc. gold buckles... The six bags at the top are from past watches. There is another box of gold buckles, .925 silver buckles, buckle tongues etc. somewhere but can't find them. Buckles in bag on bottom right are 16mm. Used to buy 14K buckles at watch shows, eBay etc. for $30 or $40 each...now they are $100 and up. Examples: eBay 115922672197 196346821333

Collector's item, T.C. new condition, only worn a few times around the house

Hello Gang, I want to share my latest project. Not ready yet, but gives a clue how it comes out.[emoji3577] It's mostly Raffles, reshaped the really big CG's inside out. Dial and Hands are also Raffles. Better Plexi T-116, good flattop Date and gen Springbars. Needs a gen Tube and 5,5mm Crown and a good bracelet.

For reference - 5513 Comex with gen dial

Don't ask for me about... Ask for Mr. Tribal😎

"I want to share my latest project. Not ready yet but gives a clue how it comes out." Looks like it's off to a very good start! My abandoned '1675/16750' project from 10 or 15 years ago, in shady B&W... In living color... Still nos, came with new Swiss ETA 2836/Asian 24H conversion. Abandoned because...closed 6/9, crystal is too tall, crown is 6.0mm, not 5.3mm, dial is fair but not properly signed (guess where). Would make a better 16750 than 1675 with the 28,800 2836. Probably a vintage submariner 1680 case. Better off with a Raffles case. Otoh...bezel turns both ways, no clicks, bezel insert is Ok and mounts flat in bez body, good spacing on lug holes, Ok to drill them out. Did I ever get started on it? Not yet. Will I ever finish it? Probably not. Crown pulled out to stop it from running. Pics taken 4-12-24.

Hello everyone, this is Steve and I'm back. It’s another contest between V and C. This is an unpremeditated comparison. In last November, I bought the 36mm GEN 126000 and planned to do a comprehensive comparison of this model. Later I learned that Clean was about to release this model. So I'm waiting for Clean. When I finished the comprehensive comparison of this model in the begining of this year and just about to sell the GEN. It happens that VS will also release this model, so I will definitely have to wait for VS again for the comprehensive comparison of GEN, VS and Clean. In the previous comparison of this model, Clean clearly won the competition with other factories. With the join of VS, we have to choose between the top V and C again. Now, let’s see which one is stronger. Control the bullsht, let's go. Front Dial View Light View Natural Light View The most important part is definitely the color. The color of Clean has been recognized already. Apparently, VS did not disappoint us as well. After comparing in various environments, we can find that the colors of VS and Clean should be the same, and we cannot detect any difference. Compared with GEN, the colors of the two factories are already impeccable, at least it is difficult to detect the color difference with the naked eye. Bezel View The height and width of the smooth bezel are consistent with GEN, and there is no difference to the naked eye. We can see from photo 4 that the bottom of GEN is slightly protruding. VS and Clean are the same, there is no problem for this part. Crystal Side View For the edge chamfering of Crystal, VS is closer to GEN, Clean is more obvious, so it feels smoother than GEN. It’s hard to say that who is better at this part, and there is never a fixed answer in terms of no obvious disadvantages. Crown and Stick View The crown and indexes are in excellent shape and have no obvious flaws. Luminous Fill View Although there is no harm without comparison, in terms of luminous filling details, both VSF and Clean are with full graininess, there is no winner for this part. Mimeograph Front View The top V and C have always been outstanding representatives in mimeographing. Both the three-dimensional effect and the regularity have always been at a perfect level. You never have to worry about them making mistakes in this aspect. Hands and Middle Axle View Both factories use solid central axle. Generally speaking, VS is better. The raised solid round axle is clearer and the height is closer to GEN. We can detect it from the second picture. The leaking sleeve of Clean has a slight chip and is not smooth enough, this might caused by batch issue. Rehaut View The shading of the two factories is similar. After all, the engraving process of the replica factories is the same, and there is no obvious difference in clarity. Crown Side View Case Side View Compared with the normal Oyster Perpetual model, the case shape of the Balloon Oyster Perpetual has not been changed, so there must be no problem with the watch case. This is the most basic. If the body is wrong, then there is no need to replica. Endlink View From the curvature of endlink, both factories are pretty good. Although it’s not perfect, at least they are very similar to GEN, and the feeling they presented does not make people feel awkward. I think this is enough. Caseback View Bracelet and Clasp Details View The overall bracelet gives me the feeling that the quality of the two factories is about the same. For the engraving on the clasp, Clean will be clearer, but there is no big difference in actual comparison with the naked eye. Laser Mark and Lume View Movement View The movement is still the old face of the two factories. VS is equipped with VS3235，But there is no ghost gear position. Since the VS3230 movement has been out of stock for a long time, many Rolex with no date models from VS are released with the VS3235 movement According to the factory, VS3230 movement version will be released later, but there is no specific time. Clean is equipped with VR3230. Data comparison chart Note: All watches are measured in a clamped state, and there may be errors due to the slight deviation of the position of the caliper. Well, today's post is here, thank you guys for watching. If there are any mistakes, please correct me. If there is anything else I overlooked, you can put it up, and I will try my best to complete it. Welcome to comment and exchange! I will continue to bring you more detailed comparisons between replica watches and GEN’s. And it is also for you to choose the favorite models conveniently. Illustration: Some photos deviate from the real object due to the light source. For details, please refer to the content. The size of the comparison picture is relatively large, you can download it and enlarge it for comparison. There is no perfect replica, only the one you prefer. Thanks.

Tribal's RED 1680😎

Looks great! What is left to do?

New fine project!👏👏

I'm planning the same build, only I can't decide between the Yuki or Mochacha dial. Yuki dials are fine, the prices are Ok, and I would like to have one for my SD except... "Flat rate shipping cost: USD 48.00 to worldwide." It would be Ok if ordering 4 or 5 dials...unless they try to charge $48 for each dial. This Higher and Higher priced 'hobby' is beginning to $Burn Me Out$.

I got both, Mochacha is nice too but more expensive.... For the bugs the Yuki is really nice[emoji3577] Gesendet von meinem 23078PND5G mit Tapatalk

Stuck this together in late 1990s, Croton/Nivada base with quick set Swiss ETA. Stainless 36mm screw back case with GS Ever-Tite acrylic tension ring crystal. Dial refinished by an outfit in Atlanta, GA (no longer in business). Genuine Ingenieur... Fine watches...except for no parts. Vintage IWC automatics had a winding setup using the same principle as the Seiko Magic Lever. Images from Connoisseur of Time.

Anyone got a spare stainless steel 15202 crown ? I work on genuine brands mostly now, but an old customer needs help with a crown replacement. I've not got any trusted dealer contacts anymore. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Mods please move to WTB section. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Fine looking Commando! My '1680' with DW case, 1570, original Lemrich dial... Similar Lemrich dial: eBay item number 203650214107
