was your insert just bleached? or is there something less routine applied here?

my first impression was that as well, but these crowns are visible if illuminated with a flashlight beaming at the edge of the crystal. it looks like its being deliberately lit up to illustrate the presence of the etched crown since the dust is also highly illuminated. in other pictures that arent macro i cant see the crown. in a situation like this where you cant physically inspect it, the sellers reputation and an iron clad return policy is where you'd make your decision between committing to buy it or not

PT indeed. oversized stamped "580"s on a dweller says PT. high lug hole position, crappy hands, and thin hour markers, 21 jewel swatch movement, bad case back engraving. its a good out of the box watch, but if you have pie in the sky dreams of making a franken out of this, forget it.

its ok, the pearl was sold separately

what makes you doubt its authenticity?

you guys missed the $17K military 5517 insert last week

thats a beaut' looks like a PT to me, but could easily pass for gen. good job

some people stockpile gold, the real money is in rolex parts, pound for pound. you have rolex SA to thank for that, the biggest joke is on gen owners who have to put up with their elitist bull [censored], they eat it up tho, its an exclusive luxury brand after all.

isnt every one?

modern or vintage? modern, doesnt exist, but jmb has made some decent looking 14060s. vintage is whole other topic.

"overdid" huh, thats a bit of an understatement um, try clarks or whole sale outlet on ebay for inserts, or if you have $$ try PMWF, most accurate inserts IMO. but first remove the pearl from this bleach ruined insert to reuse on whatever insert you buy. the pearl youll get will be incorrect and the one in your current insert doesnt look too bad, better than most, and def better than what youll receive

CLARKS. and i will say NOT Wholesmell outlet, their crystals are NOT gen spec, even a gen insert wont fit over them, what more proof does that guy need to accept most of his parts are off by a fraction of an inch.

just buy the damn gasket, youll thank yourself later.

DAMN shame wm9s gone

JO insert and WM pearl together, at last. very decent combo compared to the gen IMO bought myself a gen insert, so might sell this one soon since i have no need for it now.

glue? some vintage cases dont have the top gasket

if memory serves this was a florida company, buy WOs 16800 insert on ebay and the watch material pearl. example: although i might be selling mine since i have a gen insert, and probably dont need two

Nah Piek is the store, MBK is the shopping center, Maria is a dude(?) who bought watches from the Nah Piek store in MBK earning these watches "Marias Best Watch" a play on words to TWBest, coincidentally it was discovered that MBW watches came from MBK. makes sense?

youd probably have to buy a matching retaining ring for the bezel ring, since i doubt parts are interchangeable across different offerings. caseback i would say would not be interchangeable.

the new MBK 16610 is actually the TW case as far as i could see, i was checking the sample a couple months ago. no more polex 16610 as far as i know.

oh jesus christ. im surprised she was sober enough to choose one, i guess which ever was shiniest. talk about devaluing something you consider dear to your heart. Omegas looking more attractive each and every day Rolex, its the thing to have, even if you cant pronounce it.

the last one pictured is a modern 703 or i guess what youd call a 704 the one you thought was a 703 is a vintage 703 for a 16800, 14060, replacement 1680, 5513, 1665

cool attempt

dont you guys literally practice on pigs first since their skin is almost identical, or is that a myth?

she still alive?
