Not bad at all. Is it lume or just paint?

Mix of vintage lume powder, acrylic Golden paints, and matte acrylic medium.. The lume is faint (but glows) and uneven when charged (intentional)-- I will take a pic later today..

Yup.. Those are 702's! Now we know who has most..lol!

Thanks E!

BTW.. I did my first dial lume..lol! It is not as bad as I thought.. Was going to send it to marty, but then I thought.. heck it is a vintage watch, why not experiment.. Either way, I will at some point go for an engod44(ingod?) dial..

Gen look alike

Wow! This watch has now taken on a new meaning! Thank You Ubi!

I can't drive, type, jump, and scream at the same time. Are you serious?!

Let me knoiw ubi.. I am in no rush to buy, but at some point the rep crown will drive me insane

Btw, the watch came with a clark xtal. That will be the last thing I will change. Next will be a change of hands and a relume. The dial is very nice for a rep imo.

Isn't the gen 703 crown 7mm like the rep? I think it is a bit thinner for sure but not wider .. But, I am a noob when it comes to vintage rolex:)

Ideally, I'd like a 703, but for now I can modify the rep crown. I think if I thin the crown a bit more I can sqeeze by..

I just received this today and as soon as I got home I started tinkering with the damn beauty.. I thought I might trim down the cg and crown.. Further mods will include a relume or perhaps an ingod dial.. I will also change the hands to something a bit more accurate.. I know that I will blow my budget soon

With EMM permission I will post a pic of the before and after.. only thing that has changed is the trimming of the CG and crown.. I also polished the case (I like the shinning case look).. I will trim the crown a bit more.. Any suggestions regarding the cg?

Before (CG/Crown)

After (trimmed CG and stock Crown)

Thoughts.. (might trim the crown just a tad more)..

Just saw these from wholesaleoutlet990.. They look closer to gen imo.. Thoughts?

Strap combo looks amazing!

Awesome guys! I will try Yuki's...

and they fit the 2846?

Need help sourcing a handset for a vintage sub with a 2846 movement. Where can I source correct 1680 handset?

Holy cow! That thing is flipping amazing!

Can't take this one off..

the actual value is not really $1M. They assume the retail value of the real watch to calculate these bogus numbers. Don't get me wrong, 1,500 watches is still quite a loss for whoever was stupid enough to ship that many together.

lol! Right.

201/a for me!!

$1million! I am in the wrong line of work!! So, who got hit.. Josh, Andrew, Angus??? That must suck to lose $1million in merchandise..

love the simple and classic look of the bases! Looks super with the black gator!!

Thanks! My paypal took a modest hit though..lol!!

I put the watch together myself.. Only Chinese lineage is the case which is a 111J reshaped to be more true to the Pre-V case shape. The dial is not available yet for sale so you can say it is somewhat of a prototype. The CG a friend of mine gave it to me.. The hands are FGD. The caseback is a Jacob.. The crystal is a BigMatt.. It has a swiss 6497..

The strap or watch?
