too bad you only have two wrists huh

i guess the 16610 rep has become that good

thinking TC, gen insert, rolex movement or SA3135 with gen date was my guess

very nice build!

very nice i must say!

looks good

that is a nice one! debated between getting that and a tudor black bay blue in the end got the blue, but wouldnt mind checking that one out too enjoy!

seagul makes decent enough clones, they are also a watch producer. as of 2013 a watchsmith review of the seagul vs the eta, the eta still come out on top for quality i have the same BB watch and movement as you mine has been fine for a couple weeks now, running +6/day but i will agree the BB rep does have some QC issues, mostly on the dial, case is solid, my movement hand winds like butter. alternative swiss movement sellita sw200 and there is one more swiss supplier lesser known who reps the eta line i can not recall their name at this time TOOLS: screw driver set (or just a 1.20mm does most jobs) -removes the stem, movement tab screws soft watch pad cushion, the black coaster like kind, -for de-casing the movement and dial from the case easily spring bar tool -removes the bracelet gives you easier access to the case caseback opener (oyster tool or LG open all) -self explan finger cots or if you decide on gloves id avoid ones with the talcum powder inside -cleanliness is next to godliness movement holder, makes removing hands and disassembly more secure presto hands remover OR the double lifter kind you could buy a dial protector or use a small plastic baggy rodico -for picking up small parts, cleaning off fingerprints, holding parts air blower bulb -for dusting off the dial and cleaning out the case before recasing nylon hands press (plunger kind) -for reinstalling the hands properly tweezers #4 or #5 - for grabbing pieces and reseating small screws toothpicks -for moving pieces around with out damaging the finish or surface (aligning hands on the pinions) loupe 5-10x or a magnifying glass -for final inspection before closing up the case, you can find debris before it is sealed inside, for inspecting a piece that may not be fitting back properly silicone grease -once you open the case, grease that caseback gasket and crown gasket i own all these tools and have used all these tools several times for exactly what youre looking to do, theyre worth having if you plan on buying more watches and diy stuff anything else i am missing here?

he is a td his review thread is here http://www.rwgforum.net/forum/112-reviews-jos-nanajoshua/

stretch your budget $100 more and get a TC sub

nice gmt!

gen 14060 no date dials?

its the inner shape bk gives them, that was the primary tell for me before i even read that it was a bk sub im not saying his is incorrect but thats just how i identified it as bks, dial + date window and font confirmed the last 10% TC GEN YOURS

i would pop off the dial markers and glue on or fit in the holes if it lines up correctly regular sized ones.or make a fantasy model as long as the dial would fit i wouldnt care about the "ft" font being short vs long. startime case not available, i have complete confidence in jmbs abilities to drill lug holes

i knew it! i was going to say BK sub. tells for me: the way he shaves the crown guards, the date overlay and the rolex crown on the dial

if its the 2836 dressed up to look like a 3135, then the red paint on the reversing gears eventually flakes off into the movement

anyone know if this dial could fit in a TC or startime case? could hopefully (probably) change out the hour markers for smaller ones and drill lug holes on a tc case if not using a star time one. this whole experiment or project comes down to this dial being of the right size. (same as TCs 16610 dial)

not worth it, that movement is also problematic. from the lume pic i see the hands are blue but the dial is green, not good if not TC sub then these are probably your next best options http://puretime-asia.com/product/submariner-16610lv-green-50th-anniversary-edition/ http://puretime-asia.com/product/submariner-16610-lv-sa3135-best-edition-v2/

whys that 1016 so expensive?

fake fake

i think rolex recommends 30 times, which is what ive always done and its never been a problem, it has always worked if youve wound it 50 times it should at least run for a day i would think, even without any wear

nice build

thats kind of cool

i rejected the one i posted here for a much better one. the one i received came with a couple of really tight bracelet screws and a speck of dust under the crystal. but really pick your poison with rep QC

if you want better hands, get a set of TC hands and repaint them
