maybe a late mk3. how much?

that bezel looks odd to me

great little project. turned out well

seen the gold 1680s. never a 5513, but that case does not look like a rep case. plated mid case perhaps?

very cool

that is a great piece there

the link you sent shows it has an asian 2813 movement, thats the slower 21.6K bpm one. the link says it has the new bracelet style clasp. from what i can see in the pictures its very likely and would say yes. if you want the faster beat 28.8bpm movement you'll have to find the same model with the "asian 2836" it's usually listed above or below the slower beat one, but will add $50-$100 on the price.

very elusive too. that fur looks so soft and plush. some have been trained to rescue people buried in avalanches

cool build

there's some pretty feral raccoon's 'round here

interesting thread

went through Toro on this forum, he has a section

GEN dont think youll find a perfect rep one. mine isnt perfect either but better than the one you posted.

all the 93150 rep bracelets stink. the cartel one is still probably the "best"

you think he'd set up his new site before shutting down his old one tho...

ive found giving it a slight bend so that it resembles a pringles chip gives it the best tension. push down and turn to use the bezel, when not in use it doesnt move from the tension

seen this site a looong time ago. disregard it. some of their pics comparing the gen to the clone are actually pics of a genuine movement labeled a clone. this is a site for the uninformed. they also use 904L steel just like Rolex!!!!!! WOW!

from what i can see: new cartel case, drilled to 1.30mm cartel bracelet with incorrect cartel bracelet clasp gen lumi isnert gen crown yuki hands (?) yuki dial (?) clarks t19 (??)

ive 3D printed a lot of cases, the resolution is not there and i was never impressed with the results. its unusable for refining anything at this scale. a 3d printer is essentially a glorified glue gun

bezel and case back from this new "best" look better

how much you looking to spend? and what MK version?

i bought mine off ebay. from a chinese seller, something "tools" dont remember. came in a small plastic butterfly box with several bits inside. they were carbide bits and a fair price. could drill probably 3 cases (12 holes) before breaking. using generous amounts of 3in1 oil for lubrication.

shoe goo. its shoe repair expoxy

it seems theres a used watch store on every corner in kowloon. tiny hole in the wall places with no security. lots of vintage rolex watches. when i was there in 2011 i could of had a 5513 for $3500 U.S. that was the asking price. keep in mind a lot of the watches there are fixed for sale, and the 5513 i looked at had end links from a 14060. who knows what else it was pieced together with. i would definitely ask to see the inside of the case when buying in hong kong. I remember seeing lots of modern subs on the second hand market in kowloon wrapped in cling film and piled in the store window, all genuine, tossed aside with little care. I hear Germany has good prices for certain Rolex models and Japan is supposed to have the best prices on used Omegas.

great read! gonna have to get me one of these new 2016 subs. cheers Thomas
