thanks for the reply, i seem to be only able to find the #1 ring on rafflestime.

a yuki 5513 case with OR without the ETA adapter? is anyone currently building anything with these cases? would love to see some current projects with these. im curious bout trying one of these cases out. any known problems? ive read: the rehaut can be wokky but this has been fixed supposedly in the past the crown tube may have been glued? problems fitting a gen tropic 19? and perhaps the case thickness is too thick. any one know whats what currently?

well maybe thats why the assume its fake i think the OP would notice...now. as well as the aficionados. if youre going big, might as well strive for accuracy when youre investing this amount of cash but thats just me.

youre just gonna have to do it. ive tried to avoid it as well, just cant.

+1

square 4. M serial and V serial engraved rehaut have triangle 4, which is why i said i wouldnt use it on those serial 16610 subs

insert looks good, albeit the old style 16610 insert, which i wouldnt use on an M or V serial 16610 IMO. crown looks good. rest cant really tell. crown and insert alone are worth the price

sweet!

these are the products i use. http://www.giottos.com/CL.htm best cleaning kit ive ever used. somehow their microfiber is just better than any ive used before and i have a box full of different types ive used, same with their optical solution, ive tried many types but theirs is the best stuff to work with.

looks good to me

i use one of these EVERY TIME http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Watch-Case-Back-Opener-Knife-Repair-Tool-Watch-New-/170821541267?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c5c1dd93 cheap, and effective. put some electrical tape down on the case where the blade is going to make contact.

and what makes you think theyll correctly change it just for us? ive dealt with factories before its a can of worms. first get them to produce a case with out a V serial so TC doesnt have to sand it off and maybe i ll believe they'll change the color from grey to white for us. grey is also probably an unintenional result and has nothing to do with getting the color picker wrong. and most MOQs are 350-500

if its a gloss dial DO NOT use rodico on it. it will forever leave an oil spot behind. i clean gloss dials with a giottsos microfiber cloth and alcohol free optical cleaning solution. this is used by professional photographers for their thousand dollar coated lenses.

nice job! is the crown not screwed down in the picture? that might explain why it appears wider than it might be. what case is this?

$325 is not unreasonable. make an offer of $275

besides the reluming you could probably do most of the other stuff yourself

very nice. think this would make a good base for an ETA powered 5513?

i think the 1680 dial and the 7016 are different sizes.. meaning it probably wouldnt fit the dial opening

one thing i noticed about the TC recently that bothers me is that little shelf of metal between the screwed down crown and the bezel ring. if you showed me this watch in person and said it was gen i would have strong doubts based entirely on that.

i was trying to find a complete 1680 like the one PT has for a good price. their initial asking was $200 USD and it wasnt the same low beat ETA model either. mind you it is negotiable but people in the mall drive a hard bargain sometimes, too many farangs more than willing to pay the asking price with out bargaining. also keep in mind our dealers are in China, factory direct , Thailand has to import these from China (next door) i buy mostly tee shirts and polos when there since you can get these things for $2 - $6 100% cotton. electronics are also usually the same or more expensive than state side. leather goods are an excellent bargain, quality crocodile leather dress shoes for $70, stingray wallets for $20. then you bargain a better price.

both. they have every thing a shopping mall has +reps, most are street quality, some are above average, they sell all kinds of replica items: purses, clothing, parfume, shoes, etc etc. and a really good pizza hut upstairs +arcade and movie theater. its weird as they usually hide the rolex and omegas, since reps arent actually legal in thailand, but keep all the less popular brands flaunted in plain site.

why did the 5514 need an HEvalve and the 5513 not?

im always tempted to buy some Bell and Ross models when i go the shopping center. you got a nice bunch there

do you mean the rings that allow an ETA to be used in a case for a gen rolex movement?
