  1. Nice tutorial, I always this find it hard to do this, I do soak my watches in a bowl with bracelet on, I use a wire hanger to hold the watch up so the head doesn't go into the oil, works for me!
  2. Great clip, funny, I have all three myself, reps that is!! His net worth is about 140 million I'm poor, but I love my reps!!
  3. Great watch, I owned a 99 16520 at one point but sold it and made a few bucks, still regret it!!
  4. I was told that if it's hacked when off your wrist it will last longer??
  5. I sent mine to Speedy G for service, it has been running like a champ for over a month, I try not to use the stopwatch and when I go to bed I hack the movt, kind of pain to reset it in the am, but so far, so good!!
  6. I have Roberts Daytona and it's running flawlessly, each day though the hand at 3 & 9 mov, I guess that was for the day date feature on the 21j, I just reset it each day back to zero, this I hope will be the future, movt anyway!!
  7. The bracelet is far more superior on the 116520, I sold the 16520 for that reason!!
  8. Honestly I have no idea what kind of life span they have, maybe some get lucky & some don't, I think it's worth the risk, maybe in a month I'll eat my words.
  9. It's a little thicker than gen but same diameter.
  10. I love mine, running great so far, I just don't run the chronos!!
  11. How much did you pay for it five years ago??
  12. I think this rep looks great!!! http://www.thewatchstore.info/Rolex%20Datejust%20%20Silver%20Dial%20Automatic.html
  13. I sent Joe my 1665 MBW about a month ago, I recv'd it back this week & I couldn't be happier. I have a great looking watch that performs well & is basically a brand new reproduction of a vintage 1665. What more could you ask for. Joe was very nice to me over the phone & explained what he was doing & if there was to be a delay ect.
  14. My MBW 1665 no mods, I love this watch, It is my daily beater, I do want to do a complete overhaul though, I'm waiting for Joe to become well.
  15. Trying to log into George's site, does anyone have the password?? http://s85.photobucket.com/albums/k53/watches-photogallery/
  16. I think if one can attain a vintage for say $450 & sink another $500 into it for mods, the watch will be amazing, there are some pic's of modded 1665 on this & other boards & they make me want to drool, I don't think the same can be done for one of Trusty's so called high end vintage reps.
  17. Is "Maria" that Italian woman who sells high end Italian reps?? "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" "Tippy Toe, Tippy Toe"
