Only deal with well known members and take PayPal gift no charge backs then only way I do it.

Thanks, the rules stipulate that I cannot ask for PayPal gift unless I have two prior sales, which I don’t. 

Hey guys, have a couple of high value reps I’m thinking of selling but I’m worried about getting scammed with chargebacks etc I haven’t sold here before or sold any reps anywhere, so I was wondering if anyone can provide any advice/tips on selling safely on the forums. Cheers!

not or sure if they a trusted dealer though? but I hear they are okay to deal with, not a scam site. 

This product was added to our catalog on Wednesday 31 May, 2006.

Very nice. 

Strangely enough someone asked exactly the same question not so long ago.

Hi guys, sorry but currently I don't accpet jobs... I have way too many currently and I try not to compromise quality. I ask patience to all. If you're in a hurry, please contact someone else to build your dream watch.

 

Thank you for your kind understanding !!!! I wish I could help everybody as it's a real pleasure for me to communicate with nice people and assist them in getting their grail piece !!! But I have only two hands... 😅 And I refuse to do sloppy work in a hurry.

@rolojack Makes sense , that’s why your the go to guy for Rolex mods, it’s bad news for me though. Who would be the best person to ask about reshaping my cartel 6239 case? It’s really a job for someone who knows vintage Daytonas well and has the expertise (not me!)

If anyone can suggest anyone with experience in this area I really appreciate your help. Cheers!

Edit: in the EU ideally.

Bravo to Mr Goldberger and the charities that benefit from the sale, but what do we think of the ‘Unicorn’? Apparently the only white gold 6265 Daytona ever made. I have nothing but respect for Mr Goldberger, and I’m also fully aware of the shady practices the vintage watch world, but I was shocked when I saw the (allegedly) pre restoration pictures of the watch. I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions. 

Quote from John Goldberger:

Sold out everywhere. Any leads on a 7206?

Depends on how much you want to spend. A phong case uses a valjoux 72 movement and to build a decent phong based 6241 will cost around four to five thousand USD. It’s well worth modding the cartel Daytona and you can achieve great results,  this thread will explain the dial swap 

 New dials are available (quality varies) but say $250 to $300 for a decent dial. Case can be reshaped, which you can do yourself if you have those skills or there are modders who for can do it for you. DW Daytonas are sort after and are no longer made, good case shape but incorrect sub dial spacing, depends how much this bothers you. 

This is is my cartel Venus 75 based 6239 with the dial swap. I haven’t the skills so I bought mine from another member. By the way how did you get the new bezel to fit the case? That usually this requires machining the bezel or case?

Fantastic. 

Welcome.

list of forum trusted dealers. 

Black is sold he told me today. They have it in white for 650 Euros ! But whites not for me. Posted across the forums but these seem to be unobtainium now. 

I’m thinking of asking Ruby about a possible custom order as she’s had them before, Helenarou has done custom explorer prints in the past so I may inquire there also however the waffle might be tall order. @Bart Cordell I’m not sure if this would be possible to do as a decal dial? Would seem unlikely. If I make any progress I’ll post here. 

Hi, can anyone help me find a 6350 Rolex Explorer dial please? I’ve tried MQ and the one on there site has sold, Rubywatch doesn’t have then, nothing on eBay either, I know Tonnywatch had them but he doesn’t supply rep dials anymore. Can anyone provide any leads or point me in the right direction for a decent dial please I don’t know where to look. Thanks for your help. 

Just perfect, really admire your work. 

The one year rule is a good one, as a minimalist I can’t stand clutter so throw away things on a regular basis. In regards to watches I think 4 to 7 are enough for me, I’ve yet to own seven watches at one time and tend to find picking a watch to wear a chore when I own more than three! (7 comes from one for every day of the week rinse and repeat, and 4 is a full watch roll and one on the wrist in case you were wondering. I am a funny chap tho.. 

l’ll keep an eye out for your sales thread

I wish someone would rep the 60s Heuer Carreras

Really like the look of Trusty’s iwc Tribute to Mark XI. Any new vintage style reps are always welcome.

Here is my Bakelite bezel, the one in the photos was Ruby’s stock. I bought the bezel before buying the case from her.

Thanks my friend.   There has been sooo many 6542 builds come to fruition in the last 2 years   Its a great time to be able to build our Grail watches!! 

 

Swapped in an faded aluminum insert and it gives the watch a whole new look and personality!!  I can not ever see myself parting ways with this watch...

 

 

Your thread (which I’ve read many times) has inspired me to build my own, wish me luck with my first build!
