  1. thick case cant be fixed, youre better off modding a 5513 case with an he valve, but once you start modding and adding parts from here and there it ($) adds up quickly
  2. yeah -but if you want this model what alternative is there? its still 10% of the gen retail price
  3. i dunno. $50 more and you could get a TC case. does the yuki even have a gen like bezel assembly?
  4. came across this auction for a screen used prop from the show californication. (comes complete with studio CoA) how ever it looks like its a fake AP they used on the show, im pretty sure the brand name is spelled incorrectly. now should this fake be reported or is it ok because its a declared prop that was actually used on screen? http://www.ebay.com/itm/CALIFORNICATION-MARCY-RUNKLE-PAMELA-ADLON-SCREEN-WORN-WATCH-BRACELETS-RING-501-/310979037618?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4867cb89b2
  5. the st19 in my omega speedy was fine until this afternoon when it wouldnt reset to 0, the seconds counter will only reset to 1 oclock and the minute totalizer will either reset fine or only reset to showing a minute has elapsed even if a minute has not passed when i go to reset it. i ran the stop watch for 30minutes being totalized and the whole watch froze up, that includes the running seconds at 9 oclock. it unfroze when i reset the timer (even though it wasnt moving) has this happened to anyone here? does any have any experience with this, or is familiar enough with the seagul chrono movement to visualize what could be going wrong? thanks
  6. i could never get a crystal press to work correctly with fitting tropics on vintage subs also the mbk retaining rings are a little tighter with after market crystals. dont buy the WSO theyre the wrong outer diameter ive always just used this setup here and it works 100% no guessing whether its water tight after this press
  7. how old is this mbk case? it looks different to me
  8. i assume the toy they hide it in contains so much lead paint that the watch is radiopaque
  9. just waiting on the midnight blue model
  10. one problem with paypal is if the buyer claims what you sold them was a fake watch they are more likely to refund the buyer with little to no follow up.
  11. probably uneven amounts applied to the hands. ive seen it before, but not usually
  12. still agree, modern subs arent as good looking. ive warmed up to them a bit, but not enough to say yes. the new 2014 seadweller isnt too bad looking, nor is the new pepsi gmt, still wouldnt buy one though the midnight blue edition tudor heritage black bay is probably the only new design from rolex i would buy, probably because it has no lugs
  13. if youve got a chance grab a pic of the back of the dial
  14. with bracelet, very good price, you could easily sell it for $3600-3800 if you wanted to
  15. sell the movement take the money from the sale and build the watch with a good old reliable swiss ETA 2846 and a nice MBK or yuki case, that will satisfy you. i dont really care for yuki dials, MQ dials or ingod dials are much better, and the dial is what you will look at most, so get a good one. my suggestions: maybe get a yuki case, skip the extra $ for the engraving unless youre wearing it on a nato also skip the eta adapter ring from yuki, its over priced, there are a lot cheaper ones ingod or mq 5512 dial maybe a gen insert if one can be had at a reasonable price (less than $150), if not the mbk one is pretty good, just change out the pearl TC hands, relume for tritium look, easy DIY with some ivory acrylic paint gen 703 crown yuki tube clarks crystal (service dome look) 21 jewel ETA 2846, there is also a 17 jewel version but i find the rotor on those tends to stick get the ETA 2 stop setting bridge change it out, easy to do and takes 10 seconds (replaces the 3 stop -date- one that comes with the 2846) you might have to get a gen bracelet if you want a perfect 93150, the rep ones at best are 75% accurate, no need for gen endlinks, just get the wso 580s TOTAL ~$1100, gen insert, no bracelet 25% of the cost you were just considering
  16. you would also need a bracelet and nothing rep comes close to a gen 93150 or 9315 for the price of that shopping list and the rolex movement you already have you could get a gen 14060 with bracelet, or a glossy WG dial 5513 head with no bracelet. go the gen route unless you really want a $4500 albeit awesome 5512 rep thats where im at these days, im sitting on enough gen parts that if i sold them i could buy a vintage tudor sub 79090 or a black bay sub, or maybe even save up a little bit more and get a gen 14060 (ideally)
