  1. 1100 for the case set, you must have some good discounts!
  2. i've had packages there for days to a week. it happens
  3. hoping to hear if anyone else knows anyone that might do silkscreening!
  4. Not sure if its appropriate, but here goes, Not too long ago, a trf member started offering these strap end links, ss is cheap to buy, he has prices posted, i got him to make me a custom 18k gold set, wasn't too cheap, but excellent! trf link http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=180711
  5. One its TT, the other is WG Its a gen wg racing dial in a gen stainless daytona
  6. Bought the Comex 1665 from 5th_group 2 days ago, it now lives amongst its other rolex/tudor watches, taking turns on my wrist. some pics of a temporary caseback, and oli's legendary caseback found a mbw 1665 drsd caseback, using this temporarily until i get a correct caseback, oli's caseback is way too thick to fit well on my wrist. Temp caseback how to make it look better?
  7. thanks for the advice! i don't mind the kind of printing, as long as it looks accurate.
  8. I have a gen dial coming in and wanted to know who do you guys trust with silk screening. I am looking to get a accurate Comex done onto a 1665 service dial.
  9. way too fake, looks nothing like the gen i have. and who in the world pays full retail on a gold rolex.
  10. i bought 2 poljot powered monte carlos years ago, no idea where the cases came from though.
  11. all the hands are silver colored except for the big seconds, my silver big seconds hand was not reusable so they told me i needed a new one =/
  12. the watchmaker suggested that, but i wanted to keep it all original parts
  13. Intended to put in a red handset, but was missing a small chrono hand, so i only had the large seconds put in Will probably add the remaining red hands in someday!
  14. paid a hundred bucks for this watch http://invicta.chronoshark.com/images/product/large/1216_1_.jpg can't see a thing on the dial, atleast you have a orange seconds hand.
  15. ripoff indeed, a quick ip trace of this guy will probably lead you to where best swiss is located, or to some proxy service.
  16. waiting on a custom alligator strap to replace the current one, it was sized for a small wrist. bezel is currently a bit tight, everything must be too new. need to have that checked out, don't think this piece will ever be for sale, this thing is 33 years old or so and its in amazing condition. if the seller ever finds the gold bracelet, which i would think its brand new and hidden away somewhere, i get first dibs as well. will take some more pictures when i get home, this is my first yellow gold watch, at this price for a vintage, i thought this was too nice to pass up.
  17. Picked up a 1680/8 gold watch, came on a croc strap with a gold daytona buckle. had a service where crystal and bezel were replaced, and the seconds hand from the looks of it. paid $5500 for this vintage piece, no box no papers. How does it look?
  18. wow that is beyond weird to end up with something he doesn't even sell!! on the side note, i ordered from him end of february, and i am still waiting on some items, because some arrived damaged my 6263 case came with a chrono pusher off, and stripped threading on the case my 6263 newman dial had broken pins on the back my tudor 7032 dial had broken pins on the back my 6239 a7750 came with the chrono hours hand is not aligned, and it has the wrong clasp on. waiting for rectification of the matter, on early april he gave me a registered number, it was traceable since 4/19. hoping that the issue is resolved for me it does seem to take david a while to get things done.
  19. Love this watch, sucks that the one i have is running way out of spec, needs to get sent out for some service soon. Bought a burgundy dial version of this as a gen for $1200 2 years back, it was quite a catch.
  20. I will post another pic later but it is visible from a foot or so away. the gap is less then 1mm but it is only one one side which makes it stick out. rolex ad and rsc ny told me they don't see a problem, but rsc ny did replace the spring bar to see if it helps, but same issue. this is a solid end link btw, not a hollow one. This is the newest daytona bracelet with the latest clasp.
  21. I bought myself a gen earlier in this month, pretty much stashed away until now. Noticed this a few days ago, and wondered if this is common. The springbars were checked and replaced, and they were not the problem.
  22. he posted some of those bezels for sale at some point. they were listed at $600 each. his post said that he took a gen bezel and had it milled out and made the way it was.
