Too old for a 3717?????????????????????????????

The chrono suffers from the seconds at 6 movement (if you dont know do a bit of reaserch before you buy one) if you want an IWC chron i have to recomend the 3717, simple movement swap with 7750 and the rep movement works also

All depends on what movement and where you are in the world

if those hands were not gold then they would be very good for any sub, the shape and proportions are great

no quick mod becuase if you machine the rehaute then the dial will be too small i did it in my 1680 and was able to remove 0.10mm and still have enought to keep the dial in place that was all

In fact I will put 100 bucks on the table right now to buy the clasp

I think that is a gen clasp

infact if that has an ETA in it i will be supprised lets see inside that case back!

looks like a gen bracelet to me dibs on the clasp if you are breaking it, but i would be intersted what you find if you take the case back off!

you may just be able to press it in with your thumbs Cats

that will do as well

Thats my sub to the left so has any one ever seen any thing like this before, i think the dial looks better than the explorer 1

Well done, thanks for taking the time to do this it has opened a lot of eyes i think!

Wokky rehaute, Oyster perpetual font looks wrong (serif fonts), inner CGs need work and the crown looks too tall but look on the bright side it does have lug holes

I dont think you average Rolex owner could tell the difference over a dinner table and if the small details bother you like that then best thing you can do is get a Tw sub from BK and do a little modding then no one will be able to tell the difference

Here is the better sized pic

Also I can say no more or In any better words My condolences

If it is a question of language I offer to translate it from German to English And post both versions so every one can see that I have not amended the details.

Yes something that is a classic or a future classic where there is very little risk of loss on the long run. If you have the right watch is is probably the best investment ever think of the person who bought a 1970 sub with red lettering and compare that $200 investment (but bought because they wanted a good watch rather than investment) to the value today!

The gen one there looks like it has one of the straps I made a few years ago

I was this morning and last night but after the mini GTG last night (we were drinking so no photos) I attended another mini GTG this lunch time 400 km away Any way when are we going to Sweden? My wristy

Yep it is hand wound 1275

I saw this in a rolly AD in Basel and it really caught my eye but the price was a little higher than I would pay for a hand wind. But what a stunning design and also note the silver print on black background date wheel. Apparently this is the only bit that is (possibly) not gen on the watch but the only rule with vintage rolls is that there Is no rule! I will upload a better resolution photo when I get home.

I have to say that Basel is one of the nicest places I have seen so far and the company there make for wonderful evenings. Thank you very much for the time Val and I have a great reason to come Mack again soon.
