That's sweet man.... I am missing mine already. Been 2 weeks since the crystal went to Taka for his AR coating. Hope I get to wear mine again soon.

One day... One day...i'll have one to call my own

The bezel markers are noticably larger and knowing DSN, the caseback will probably be thin. But it all depends on the price point now. A good 7753 EL case daylight project will probably cost about USD 1.2k ~ USD 1.5k (all mods in of course, lumework + LEO/lello DW + T-crown) with a good starting point of a 7753 movt (about USD550 ~ USD600) + EL Daylight case (USD300 ~ USD 350) if you can find one. Should make for an interesting discussion when the price is revealed.

Sweet....

Having had the honour of seeing all 3 in person.... Awesome pieces all of them.

It does look like a V2.

That's a very nicely thought of collection you have there Dave...

Ronin deserves all the props he can get. Absolute gentleman...

Its a shame that the rep makers can't do better than to slap 2 thin pieces of leather on a rubber like thingy. Its this "that'll just do" mentality is what is driving most of us to the brink... I need some suggestions for a BP strap that is close to OEM specs. I can't justify paying close to USD 500.00 for a strap for a sub USD200 watch. I know HKTAN does good work but I am not buying anything from him that's not ready to be shipped. Strapluxe looks good for its price. Any experience on this? Any other suggestions is much appreciated. Cheers S181

Oh man... sorry for the confusion. Its a sub USD 200.00 watch. I already had the AR treatment done. Crystal disappears esp under daylight. Gonna get better straps for this baby though. The straps that came with the rep sucks big time.

6.75 inch

Its new. USD 198 + shipping from the cartels but if you look around and willing to try out other dealers you could get it for less than USD 200 shipped. Not saying that you should though but yeah... sub 200 USD rep.

Like long lost lovers reunited after a long time apart.... I just can't get enuff of IWC. So a BP 5004 is added to my collection, while its smaller brother the TG goes for a heart transplant and some AR treatment. Excellent replication for a sub SGD200 watch imho. Some quick pics before it gets the AR treatment by Taka After Taka's AR treatment Cheers S181

Option 2 seems to be the best solution.

Thanks for the update mate...

Wow... didn't know that the 24 hour hand on the 1575 is non-adjustable...

thats gonna be an awesome build Red. I have also decided on what to do with Andy's 2893.

25 Euros or USD mate?

Hi Tribal... If its MBW overlays, will it fit the datewheel that comes with a 2893 movt?

Would these fit the 2893 movts that you sold.? If it fits, put me down for 1 or 2 mate.

Best news I have heard since the Toffees beat the Red Devils in 1995.....

I dont think the factories are gonna be putting in 2893s in the GMTs anytime soon. Its not as easy to source and can be quite pricey. A possible option is to get the 2836 and a 2893 mvt and get a watchmaker to swap.

Rolex noob on his first Rollie project so please be kind... I saw this listing on ebay. My apologies if anyone is bidding on this (mods please remove thread if this is against board rules) fleabay listing: 190381707085 The pictures are very clear on the handstack. Is the 1655 handsatck similiar to the ETA 2893 because it seems to be the same. Rollie experts kindly advise. Cheers S181

Fiddy Thursday for me. Cheers S181
