I see way too many accountants wearing Tags. That alone would make me sway off the brand.

Tag Heuer = overpriced Swatch I do like the old Heuers though...

James lee has them.

Composite....

Hermes Eau de Pamplemousse Comme des Garcon Wonderwood

Unfortunately there is no bronze to be found here. Just RG plated steel...

Thanks vlydog, looks like I have to do a bit more saving up to do...

I have pretty much the same 7031/2 parts list accumulated. I currently have a DW 7032 and case set and due to the genius construction I will only be able to epoxy the gen crystal in place. Can I assume that the Phong case would be a straight fit for the gen crystal ? Also how much does the case set (I assume you only got the case, back and bezel of Phong) go for (the full case set is listed for >$1,400) ?

You will need to change the case as well. Just have a look at the lug profile and the position of the lug screws and you know why. Best go for the 111j case. Also I have my doubts as to whether the dial is Superlumed...

Seems these guys are copying the H-maker models. The case looks similar to the 177J.....

I think it's quite the opposite. Unless you are picking up ultra collectible gens, your regular bread-and-butter gens (Omega, Breitling...) will lose you more money than a rep. In fact I have several rep builds which are going up in value. Take an FGD dialed high-end Pre-V built as an example. Would you have expected to fetch well over $1,000 without any gen parts a year or two ago ? In addition modding your rep is fun and likely to ADD value, instead to depreciate your gen even further... I am just selling my last gen because to be honest it has not seen any wrist-time in 2 years.

What do you guys need cars for? Thought you could walk from one end to the other in 20 min...

Who does this remind me off ? Robert...?

Looks like I work in the spot with the highest PAM density in London. I have 1 gen PAM wearer (243) and 2 rep PAM wearers within 30 meters of my desk.... Plenty of Omegas...but who cares

Nice one. Is this a dial from the Indonesian ebay seller ?

DW bezel needs to be shaved to fit gen crystal.

I was watching the auction as well. I think the reason for the relatively low price was a combination of: - undesirable case shape for gen collectors - relatively high starting price - 726 movement not first choice for hard core rep builders - the guy putting a link to yukiwatch on his listing Nevertheless I was surprised by the low bids as well. Good Score.

Jojo35, do you think the jeweleryandwatch bridges are any better ?

Would this be a decent alternative for an OEM Rolex 25-128 ? Not sure about the magnification, but the cyclops looks at least better than the standard DW. Does anybody have experience with this offering ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Crystal-25-128-Monte-Carlo-Tudor-7031-7032-7949-/170591220236?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b807720c

I'll definitely take one.

Thanks to you guys I am now on the path of a V72 6239... Whom can I send the bill ? One thing which bugs me is that most affordable case sets come with the "300 units" bezel, which in reality was only produced in very limited numbers with the first generation Daytonas. Is there any good "200 units" bezel which would fit a DW V72 6239 case ?

Thanks to mrboombasteke for putting this together.

I have a feeling he only has black in stock at the moment.

I am in for 6 watch box. Shipping to Germany.
