done- thanks.

Just purchased a Skyland, but it doesn't have a bracelet. Anybody have a bracelet for sale?

just got an Explorer II but I'd like to remove the engraving from the inside of the rehaut. Possible? Has anybody done it?

thanks BT- I'm on the hunt for a gen white dial!

does anybody know- how difficult is it to remove the rolexrolexrolex from inside the rehaut? Love BK's version, but don't like the writing on the insdie of the watch.

ok- more reading. Looks like BK's is the Noob.

has anybody done a review of BK's explorer II? Quick search didn't bring up any results.

Please Pm me the AZ parts guy email addy...

I am looking for gen oarts and just spent 420 on a lv insert....

I just emailed him and asked permission to post his email address. His name is David- good guy.

Mine has a genuine 1680 w/ tritium pearl. bought it off the VRF a couple of years ago. Fits the old MBW bezel fine.

yeah- it's probably the smaller size- they apparently fit fine. Just purchased a new insert- we'll see.

The DW is having some issues- it's a ubi DW and not quite flat. I'm going to have it glued onto the ETA DW as an overlay. Should i be worried?

prices are a little high. For those of us in the US- there's a guy in TX that will sell modern inserts for around $70. JewelerTools on ebay- he'll negotiate on price off his ebay listings. Really great guy- i've purchased crowns, inserts and crystals from him.

i just purchased a gen 5513 insert. Holding my breath hoping it will fit.

My final build will have

MBW case

gen insert

Gen 127

Gen crown

ubi DW

yuki dial/hands (vintage relume)

gen 91350 w/ 580 end piece

i think it MIGHT be finished!

what does everybody use normally for a franken 1680 with an MBW base?

Thanks. if anybody has the correct insert- i've got 2 16800's to sell! Also have a gen 7mm crown, gen DJ gold crown (came out of a 16223), gen DJ dial- prob a few other things that I could trade for the correct movement. LMK!

I've got two gen inserts- neither will work on my MBW case:

Gen insert measurement: inside Diameter -- 30.70 mm

Outside Diameter - 37.57 mm

MBW case:

This is an older MBW 'Polex' 5513 case.

in bezel for insert has a diameter of 36.6mm

The crystal Outside Diameter is around 30mm

From these measurements it looks like the diameter of the insert is over 1mm too large and the inside diameter is enough oversize that there would be an unsightly gap between crystal and insert. Has anybody else run into this problem when modding an MBW? Possible solutions?

sorry- what model is this then?

buying a watch- want to change the dial.

I've got BCE dials I could trade, or just purchase yours.

Check pm op. I've got several parts for a tt date just

I've owned gen Pams several times, but sold the last one several years ago . . . but I've had the itch for at least a year. I've been watching the sales forum for a Pam 111, but finally just PMd Marty to see if he had something.

Next time you see one of his posts- RUN and BUY IT! His work is fantastic. Perfect flush pin- perfectly polished. The CG is nicely fit to the old school EL case. Very happy and it's definitely going to be getting a lot of use!

Anyone install their Angus wheel yet?

Ready to bail on this whole flat three's obsessiveness, I got two silver open 6,9 round three wheels now, I'm just gonna go with them.....

where'd you get your DW?

that's an old MBW 1680 - i regret selling it

the DW is an old Day-Date wheel...

cheers,

Frank

that's a rep day-date DW? I've got a 1680 and DW is the last piece I need before assembly.

If anybody has a DW- i'm interested!

anybody else have something in the parts box?

anybody have anything in the parts drawer? Trying to find aged dial/hands set for mbw case.

will Andrew's overlay work w/ a 2846 and line up w/ a gen dial on a 1680?

it's SOOOO easy to spot as a rep . . . you really should get rid of it. I could find someone to take it off your hands!

did you find screws or a replacement bracelet? I've got the same problem w my bce
