Oooh Safari

Nice catch!

One have totally incorrect bezel

First one on the left have a 200/180/160-50 bezel which only were present on the R series models (87-88)

It looks like 2 have push down instead of screw-down...

there's a pusher missing..

plus one is not for me..

looking good Nik, too bad my money is tied up in a different project.. i'd love one of these.

Nope..thats not it

All have pushers..and correct ones.

OK first: one case is missing the crown :-(

Second;?

....but...find the 2 mistakes  (All are A or T serials)

Being a film critic, I was interested to read he mentioned his brother, Maz Jobrani, an Actor, Comedian born in Iran.

 

I enjoyed reading that thread, and consumed to whole mugs of Finnish coffee in doing so

Coffee? I thought you finnish people drank Koskenkorva the whole day (you need to adapt to local habits matey)

What kind of mov? I think you need to clip the feet... I did it a couple of years ago but can't remember :-/

Ordered one so let's see!

It says ceramic bezel but doubt it..

Amazing watch!

Awesome pics as well! Enjoy the fora!

It's long gone buddy

Aham, the Bracelet topic is an issue for us all!

 

WSO- WholeSaleOutlet

 

How good are the general after market bracelets that are offered for example from Startime supply and others?

These do not have any stampings at all, though rep clasps can be swapped for sure.

Example of an DJ band:

 

Has anyone tried one of these?

I bought one from Sapphy times with correct engravings..so so quality with HORRIBLE endlinks...

i'd personally buy one of josh's folded 7836(i think its the same as mary offers) slightly enlarge the spring pin opening on the end of the bracelet so a 2mm will fit. Buy a Gen set of end links and your good to go. There is also the WSO 78360 which i haven't personally seen, there are no pictures of the stampings on the listing and he won't confirm whats on it if anything I assume he's worried about Rolex complaining. Has anyone here bought one?? Might be a simple solution to a long term issue for all of us

WSO?

concepta, is yours a real patrizzi dial or a 16520 dial?

a Patrizzi dial

I ordered a chs 16710 from puretime a few weeks ago and it's running like a champ.

Not sure if they have the ceramic model, but it might be worth it to check them out or to send Angus a pm.

Ought to be the same movement!? Or do the hands differ in size maybe!?

Unfortunately M is not the only one! There is a long thread over @ RG about him! I think maybe 15-20 people are out of there watches and parts!

I used to send him work as well...but after 90% failure rate i stopped using him... 

Considering i paid 1500€ for just the dial you better get a rate on the interest ;-)

While reading the headline , i thought about a new released LE by RENAULT

Dr. Theo

Hahaha me too

Well Breitling have Bentleys and AP....Renault?? ;-)

Ah. I didn't realize that a 116523 dial would fit in a 16520 case/movement. I'd have bought a very different dial if it'd known that!

Good luck. That's a monster build for sure.

It will not! This is a 4030 dial i assume..rare in that case! Seen arabic ones before!

the early 16520 had the best bracelet ever, the 78360 (with 503 ???)

all matte

I agree! I've used 78360 on all my tonas

So the one piece of my 16520 build that I'm having a hard time sourcing (for a reasonable price anyway) is a gen bracelet. I was hoping to go the "leather with deployment" route, but want end-links and those seem to be tough to find too.

Is there a good rep bracelet that will fit a Phong case? I'd like it to be as close to gen as possible. I was thinking about polishing the center-track on one of TCs, but in don't believe it will fit, or I can't find good end-links.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately there are no "good" aftermarket bracelets when it comes to the 78390 bracelet! I would suggest getting gen endlinks at least..i had some trouble using rep endlinks with the J&W cases.

I am sure all his stuff is rep. I've been watching his listings since last year. Never ending supply of 16520, 1680 and the odd 1675 for good measure...

Yeah just read the thread on VRF!

Lucky me then! There is another like him in Italy..Roberto Merone

I am sure all his stuff is rep. I've been watching his listings since last year. Never ending supply of 16520, 1680 and the odd 1675 for good measure...

Wonder where they come from though! Does not look like Phong!?
