Hello, Here is my 1665 MBW Modded by the Great The Zigmeister. 1665 MBW case with https://jewelryandwatch.com/ complete bezel assembly with functional He valve like Gen Clarks Plexi Genuine Rolex 1570 non Quick set date Movement, service at least three times since Genuine Crown and Tube Genuine Complete bracelet with 580 endlinks Ingoods Dial, I still have the original dial aged by The Zigmeister Xtra set of genuine hands purchased from the rolex vintage forum 1665 insert from a special run here in the forum, thick font I am thinking on selling my collection as I never really wear all of my watches. have not put a price to all of this, but perhaps someone may be interested. now on to the picture

Rlx '6426'... Not really. It is something I stuck together about 12 years ago and traded away. Got it back last week, the fellow I traded it to never wore it. It is same as new except for a few spring bar scratches on the lug backs. Case is from JMB and I do not know where he got it...34mm and takes Rlx oem spec crystals and bezels. Crystal is a GS 12 and the bez came with the watch. Aftmkt case tube with genuine 5.3mm crown. The dial and hands are from Yuki 12+ years back. The markers are yellow aged, the script is goldtone as are the hands. The movement is a low mileage swiss ETA 2789 with the autowind assembly removed. Why was the awa removed? Because the case has a 'flat back' and will not clear the a/w rotor...it's really a 'tooter' type case. Can't find a solid case back that will clear the rotor, have one with a crystal in it but that lets the 🐱 out of the bag. Besides that, it says 'Oyster Perpetual' on the dial. Sterling silver (.925) 16mm buckle on a ZRC strap. Check this out...eBay item number 203157031954 '100% guaranteed authentic!' A 6426 is manual wind with acrylic crystal and this one states: "Rolex self-winding movement" "Scratch Resistant Sapphire Crystal." J3 is automatico.

Another scammer has caught a few people out. Come on guys, the rules are there to protect YOU! Don’t pay via PayPal gift unless you know the seller is genuine. Pay the extra few percent safe in the knowledge that you should get your money back if it goes wrong. Scammers hate regular PayPal so will ask for gift even though it’s against the rules. Thanks to the guys who have messaged me about Verti, he looked suspicious but we needed to prove so before booting him out.

Thanks Mike. Guys, we have a perpetual scammer who keeps joining the forum and posts stuff for sale. I’ve just banned another of his accounts. Be careful…

Back in the day you could build one of these for a somewhat reasonable, albeit, expensive price. Now days you can double or triple the price to build one. Gone are the days when gen and good rep parts were easily available. And of course MBW is gone. It's a beautiful watch- a true franken!

Blasts from the Past... L to R...14K Hamilton 'Wesley' from the 1940s, 9K Buren Grand Prix from the 1930s, 14K Pierce from the 1920s/30s, 14K Lord Elgin with 'step side' case from the 1950s. The Hamilton looks like new. The Buren has a 15 jewel high grade movement with 'three finger bridges' and uses a 'sew on' or one piece strap, the strap bars are soldered in the lugs. The Pierce has 15 jewels iirc and is in fine condition. The Lord Elgin is in fine condition except for the 'age spot' on the dial, it has not been wet as far as I can tell. The dates are a guess and info on the Hamilton and Lord Elgin can be found but I am too lazy to chase it down. Many Hamiltons have the model name engraved inside the case back. After the current 'Gold Rush' pans out, there may not be many of these old classics left.

Updated the LV from a friend with new Crystal and Insert. Did some work on the Case, some brushing etc.[emoji6] Gesendet von meinem 23078PND5G mit Tapatalk

Didnt been here for ages. It seems very quiet here. Anyway, hello everyone

Kienzle Atlantis Mechanique wristie with two in the background, all with Unitas (now ETA) 6497, all 'nos' from the early to mid 1990s. The two in the background are in original condition with MG crystals and leather straps. I put a 34.5mm sapphire crystal and 22mm Breitling type bracelet on the other one about 20 years ago. They are 44mm wide not counting the crown. Nos Arnex 'train watch' with Unitas 6497 from 1970s/1980s... The Arnex is 16 size same as modern RR pocket watches, but not RR Approved. They were often referred to as 'Transportation Watches'. https://www.txantiquemall.com/the-arnex-pocket-watch-history-values-and-vintage-models/ J3 is automatico.

All kudos goes to my friend watchmaker who disabled and replaced the Date function on the EL Primero. The Viet Case must be completely reworked inside out. Viet Pushers and Tube/Crown are changed too. The Movement doesn't fit at the the first glance. Also The Phong Hands don't fit and must reworked. Big Second Hand was too short to fit. He managed to replace the tube from the Second hand to a longer one to fit. The gen Dial comes without Lume and is relumed new. There was a lot of trial and error, but at the end all came together.

Unfortunately not. It's a Chinese ETA 7750 clone. Valjoux 72 is a manual wind movement.

Hello, everyone This is steve,we will present the detailed comparison of 126500 Panda Daytona between the Clean, VS, APS and the Gen this time. Front View Photos Under Lighting View Under the same indoor white lighting, the dials from Clean, VS, and QF have a slightly cool white tone, while APS leans toward a pure white. To the naked eye, the dial color of APS is the closest to the Gen. Bezel & Crystal View The crystal heights from all four factories match the Gen. Clean has updated the crystal on the 1265xx Daytona and there is no obvious improvement after swapping to the Deep crystal. The chamfer of the crystal edge of Clean is more rounded , which is slightly different from the Gen. Bezel Engraving View Since the Gen has been in use for a while, the markers have slight yellowing and smudges. The ceramic bezels from Clean, VS, and QF appear to come from the same accessories factory,with similar numeral font and engraving depth. However, the bezel from the APS is the most closest to the Gen, with more accurate numeral markers thickness and depth. The index scale below the numeral is also slimmer, and the triangular scale is sharper, which is clearly different from the other three factories. Dial Crown and Markers View The dials of Clean and VS come from the same accessories factory,which is the closest to the Gen. the dial markers from the QF is similar to the Clean and VS but with minor differences. APS is no polished triangular scale for the stick markers, appears to more tough. (dial markers from the QF is also good, but it seems to be from the other provider, you could make a comparison and choose one you prefer) Hands and Lume Fill View All four factories have lume fills with a slight pale green tint. Initially, I assumed this was just a characteristic of the lume, but after comparing all five watches under the same lighting,the Gen markers color remained unchanged and consistent with the dial color. The watches from the other four factories showed the light green effect shown in the picture. Dial Printing View Clean and VS dials have slightly wider spacing between the three letters "TER" in "CHRONOMETER" below the crown than the Gen. The APS has the correct spacing, but the overall font on the dial is thinner than the original. The red text "Daytona" under the hands is also lighter than the Gen. The QF font printing looks like a bolder version of the APS. Subdials View Gen has 9-10 black rings, while the APS and QF have the same quantity. Clean and VS have only 7-8 black rings. The sub-dial numbers printed in color and ink thickness on the APS and QF are closer to the Gen,but if you look closely, the continuity of the ink printing on the sub-dial is not as complete as the GEN. Hands and the axles View there is no big difference between the four factories, all of them are seem to be good and welcome to discuss this together. Chronograph Pushers View When unscrewing and screwing in the pushers, the length of the crown of each factory is not much different. the shape of the Clean crown guard is closest to Gen,while VS and QF are slightly thinner, and APS is thicker. Lugs and Side View The steel bracelet of APS is slightly lower than the lugs, but it is flush with the lugs from QF, and Clean and VS are closer . There are no obvious problems with the lug shape of each factory. VS seems to have fixed the lug problem on 126500. The three dots on the crown representing the waterproof level are relatively thicker for VS, while those of other factories are consistent with the Gen. Case Side & Case Back View Bracelet View Both VS and Clean use AR bracelets, Through the actual feel, the steel straps of APS and QF are slightly loose. Clasp Engraving In terms of engraving, you can compare and see which one you like better. Lume Effect View From direct observation, the lume color on all four factory models closely matches the Gen, with similar performance across the board. Rehaut View Movement View Since the Gen caseback cannot be opened, we left blank for the Gen movement picture. VS uses the DD4131 movement, Clean and APS use the second generation of SH4131 (without fake shock absorbers), and QF uses the first generation of SH4131 (with decorative shock absorbers). When shaking the watch, the rotors of VS and Clean make less noise, while the sound of APS and QF is relatively loud. Although Clean and APS use the same movement, Clean has been additionally adjusted and optimized after getting from the factory, and the movement plate engraving is also different from APS. Measurement Data 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.
