I got a gen 45mm pumpkin I'll let go for 2500.

Had it on for 8 hours now, no dust issues so far.

Just got my rubber b from Andrew for my mbw 1680, just couldn't pay 220 for a strap from Rubber B. Not to bad for 65 bucks

Here's a lume shot of both

Like I said, the only tell from a glance is the clarity of the crystal. The gen almost disappears in sunlight. The rep has a slight fog to it in sunlight. The v5 po is def a great watch, minor mods and no one would know the difference. I just decided it was time to go with a gen, at some point I'm going to get a gen crystal for the black 42 and call it good.

Here's a few, rep on the left. The biggest tell is the clarity of the crystal

My first gen, picked it up from a member over at repgeek. Great price and was delivered next day.. On to the pics, it's resting with its little brothers 42mm v5 that I picked up last month.

That's Jeremy renner, played in ghost protocol with Tom Cruz. Looks like he's been hitting the gym and juice. Nice watch

I picked up a josh 5513, needs a few mods but def a good starter. I put a gen T19 trimmed the crown guards and drilled lug holes, new bezel washer, the stock washer is too weak. It is closer to gen construction and for the price it's not a bad start. I spent a lot more on my mbw 1680 with about the same results. Good luck

Check ofrei's, you can go eta or pick up a seagull st 2130. Cheaper with the same specs as a 2824 and the stem should line up with the crown tube if you bought the cheaper dg 2813 model

Check with trevor, he has a 14060 that would be a better starting point for a no date sub.

I picked one up from josh, out of the box it's a nice starter. Reshaped the case, trimmed crown guards and drilled lugs, rebuffed the case to give it that older over polished look. Next pick up a eta 2824 and a dial and finish it up. Check perfect clones or trustytime, fast service and easy payment. Good luck

Nope, the bezel is held on with a Teflon gasket, bought one last month with the same intention of modding. Not a very good base for a good Tudor. Get Josh's 5513 and source parts, that's what I'm doing now.
