the quality of reps these days is amazing

do NOT buy from this ebay member, his parts arent to spec, when measured against my gen vintage 5513 parts. his modern parts are also not a good fit, his retaining ring let moisture in on my 16610 sub and in the end i returned the parts because of this

a paul newman daytona, and a DRSD would have been the better investment for the same $$.

crazy! hope the kid appreciates what hes getting

i'd rate the condition terrible, but i dont think its a fake. theres somethings the fake bracelets cant get right and this doesnt seem to have those issues. whats the asking $ ?

great effort. impressive piece and rep of the project X lume looks a little like playdough in some shots, but im sure its difficult to do.

now THAT'S a GEN hand set

the dial says yes. its not a bad looking rep, tremendous value its the new version of the cartel sub. yes measure the dial across e.g at both sides 9 and 6 mods to consider: better dial / hands crown closed 580 endlinks bezel assembly crystal thats a $400 plan though

avoid WSO, they let moisture in

got a gen rolex date disc for this model. inquire within

sellita are direct replacements

+1 for that JLC

Earnest Sewn J BRAND UNIQLO my next pair is going to be some jap selvedge. maybe naked and famous OR their lesser known brand "unbranded" same patterns as N&F, or the kickstarter jean GUSTIN

those look great!

you sure those hands are gen? strongly doubt that second and hour hand

who cares. other swiss manufacturers have stepped up to fill the market demand. Sellita is good enough for other high grade swiss brands. these high beat miyota movements are also pretty awesome.

fun piece! like that snoopy is lumed.

if the second one is the same as this one, (watch the video) correct hand stack http://www.puretime.watch/product/gmt-master-ii-16710-bluered-bezel-correct-hand-stack/ then its the wokky one with the date window too far right

stunner

the metal ring between the crystal and the dial slopes giving it an appearance of being not unlike a cooking wok. some reps have this issue to make sure yours doesnt best way to check for sure is to get a picture of the watch straight on. laying flat. post it here. out of those 2 you posted the first one looks best

looks real nice

cant wait to see how it turns out

that gmt case looks a bit "wokky"

what i ALWAYS use to separate the retaining ring from the case is this snap back watch case opener AND a watch makers hammer tape around the case as much as possible using electrical tape, turn the case on its side, insert the sharp edge of the opener between the ring and the case and gently tap with the small hammer, work your way around the case and it comes off, unwarped and no case damage as long as you tape it up a bit. to press crystals this is my preferred method. cheap and very effective 1 1/2" polyester adapter from home depot with a flat nylon disc in a taped up bench vise, turn slowly and press, keep it straight. just make sure the crystal isnt too tight for the case beforehand, or it will crack and you may not even notice

looks good
