yes the monte carlo dial is quite sought after, although this 3rd version isnt as collectable as the first 2

Thanks for the offer Nanuq, it is brushed all the way through like a oyster, and seems polished on the sides.

If someone know where i can get some gen folded links, or a decently priced bracelet, shoot me a PM!

if that were true the engraved gens will jump quickly in price.

finding a specific o-ring is hard! i bought 2 assortments, they didnt mention sizes, but they were all too small! i am hunting for caseback orings for my 7016 sub. bought some 29-325-10's that i figured might fit, but just my luck =/ they are a tad too big.

hmm i have 93160a stamped on my clasp, and my sd is a m serial.

bc watchparts is very reliable. The crystal is real. I picked up a dented up crystal without etching for 25 shipped a while back =) just a nick or 2 on the edge.

Fell in love with the monte carlo, and wanted to get one made or done, Where should i start? Point me in the right direction so that i don't end up with a half-baked rep!

I have a 1996 Tudor with no glow at all on the dial, but the hands still glow.

Not exactly a direct, but here are 2 pictures i took since i had my camera out This one is a WM9 from PT's Supreme Sub This one is a Noobmariner from TTK gen dial Tried to take them under the same light, but i dont have the equipment for it.

How do i remove a fixed bezel, such as a daytona bezel. Do i have to buy the expensive tool or is there a better way, i've searched but did not find anything, maybe i am using the wrong search keywords. Pictures greatly appreciated!

I had some luck and scored a 72980p with a burgundy dial, the dial on this is breath taking and oyster band for 1200 + change, have not verified if its a gen yet, will do when i get home later. T SWISS T Dial. No papers with the watch. Needs a good amount of polishing though. Nearly scored a 79390 for $900, but missed out.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the total investment to get this 79280 done? looks great btw! Such luck with the datewheel!!

gorilla glue expands when it dries, might pop the insert off.

http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showforum=196 bk offers their watch, atleast the wm9 v2 sub

mainly 2836, since thats the eta that most reps come with nowadays.

can someone point me in the right direction on where to get stems for eta movements?

Crystal WILL swap, ask him for the C2 gasket. i have one on my PT sub, which is a WM9 essentially

bk appears to be the exclusive forum dealer.

i ordered 3 noobmariners from him on sept 3rd, they arrived right around the first week of october, a bit better then expected!

does anyone know the proper size for the caseback oring? i tried to get mine out to lube, and it was so dried up that it broke =\ i am unsure of what size it might be, it seems like 32 to 33mm, but i am not 100 percent sure! so i must ask the experts that might know

thank you sir i would have never find that searching for luminous on the site.

hmm any chance you can provide a link for the ofrei pearl? thanks

a friend of mine had ordered one after i showed him mine, his spacing is like the gens, mine is like yours freddy.

a lot of reps used 2824s before they changed over to 2836's i thought? the 2824s are thinner then the 2836s also they are probably the same in terms of reliability, the 2836 has date functions too which the 2824 doesnt have
