Thanks Micky

Hey Micky how is the lume on this? standard rep or improved?

I have a load of spring bars here if you need some, they come in at just under

I think it may be that there is no removable case back, that watch has a split stem and the movement comes out from the front after you remove the glass

Well last real fake watch i saw was this, and that is a gen fake watch made by IWC (if that makes sence)

Guys if we have any members who would like to attend a seminar to learn to service there own 2824 movements and build their own watch have a look here the cost is around

Looks Ok apart from the colour

On the rep the swirl that represents the rifling of a gun barrel is just too bold to look right

yikes that is not cheep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice work mate

Never sean that before, i think it will be hard to fit a 24mm in a 22 lug, possible but hard

Welcome back David, I have not seen those members for a while but their accound may still be active so you could PM them, maybe invite them back in for a chat

Welcome to RWG mate

Looks very good, almost looks like a bubble back case, definatly looks the right age

It is very probewrble that this case was designed as a 1016 and they just put the wrong case number on it, lets face it rep makers have made bigger mistakes when it comes to engraving!

Fortunaltly my wife will not wear any thing smaller then her steelfish maybe in the odd occasion the tudor i built for her but really that is the odd occasion.

what else could i be wearing today

It sounds great, can wait to see it when i get home, damn you firewall!!!

This 14270 case had small lug holes to start with it is an old MBW with the well known Original POLEX Design.

I wonder if the swiss would let them open up a watch factory in Bern or Neuchatle?????????

I personaly like the BOB straps but if you want to spend a little more and have something made for you then try this place http://www.jrartesania.com/ very nice indeed and made for you to your spec

Are you expecting to get a real croc strap for $50?

Thanks Guys It does feel a bit small but i may get used to it.

So if there are only 20 of the red ones how may red ones have the depth rating????????

less than a year ago i only owned 1 rolex, a deep sea that i woke up wearing after a GTG you will see the results of my years work at the end This one started after seening a gen refinished dial come up for say that I promptly bought. then i searched for a case, movement, gen crown and tube, crystal and hands this is the result The case is signed 14270 but is the right shape and size for a 1016, i had a nightmare getting a crystal to fit with the bezel but after 4 broken crystals i finaly got it right. The movement is a slow beat 2973 with a self moddified single position crown serviced and running like a champ Hands are clarks that have been aged just a little so that they dont quite match the dial as many of the gens i have looked at dont either, The dial and hands have a bit of lume but not a great deal. The bracelet is off an MBW EX2 all smoothed and polished and MBW 501b endlinks (i know these are not correct but it is the only one that would fit this case niceley apart from a jubily) I will take some more photos tomorrow in natural light so that you can see the dial correctly but for now i will leave you with these And with the others (absent on duty (sold) 1665 white, 1665 red) So what is next, well i have the 1655 sat there but now the new cartel version is out it sort of puts the MBW in the dark so should i bother?
