I got lucky on Rolex Forums! I just bought a gen crystal for 35.00. It is a 16710 and I am going to have it installed on a WM9 V2. I know it is for a GMT II but I think the AR on cyclops would be cool on a Sub.

This will probably answer all your questions. http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=6261 Joe

I accidentally bought a gen insert thinking it was for a 16710. After the auction ended I realized that it was for a 1675 or 16750. Does anyonr know if this insert will fit into my BK Transformer? Thanks

I have tried to find for the life of me the part number for the 6mm twinlock crown for a 16710. I am looking for on for a Transformer and want to ensure I get the right one. Thanks Joe

I know one month is not bad to wait. Evidently he has all the parts for the project just needs time to build. But I just sold my 1665 and need something to replace it.

So I am wanting to buy a GMT 2 and after speaking to BK I realize that it will be over a month before I can get one from him. He is away on vacation for the remainder of the month and said it would take a week or so to build so I estimate it would put me at the end of April before I could get it. I have scoured the forums looking for a used Transformer or Coke Bezel on to no avail! Is there another dealer that I can get one from and be happy with. I have read many reviews and am torn. Will I regret not waiting later? Anyways thought I would get some advice on alternatives to BK's GMT as it appears that no one is selling any and I am not sure I can wait. Thanks Joe

You still have any available?

Ken Thanks and it is fine now, next month I will remember to pay with clams, Joe

I have had a recurring paypal payment to upgrade my membership and this month it came out like usual but now today nothing. I need to post in the trading zone and cannot. Help please, Joe

That is what I thought. Thanks

Just curious if there is such a thing as a rep "rail" dial that anyone has seen?

Sorry for my ignorance but I saw Jaeger fans and this is what came to mind:

Sorry about the size, I did not make it any bigger. That is what is attached as. I will pay more attention in the future. I thought it looked suspect. Makes me wonder about the crystal being gen as well. Oh well, another item to add to my list of upgrades, lol. Thanks for the input.

I purchased this watch and am on the never ending road of modifying it. I was told when I purchased the watch that the crown and tube were gen. I have no reason not to beleive the seller but thought I would get everyones opion as I keep coming across posts on the 24-702 crown and am more unsure of mine. Thanks in advance

While I will not bee selling the watch as a gen or doing ay "high interest flauntig" it is something that I have an interest in doing. I know that the serial is not correct and it would bother me. Maybe it is a touch of OCD I guess, lol.

Well I took my band off of my older MBW 1665 DRSD today to find out what the serial number was on the case. Now I do not know what to do. My dial is a Mark IV dial that the best I can find was manufactured up to about 1977 with serial numbers ending in low 5 million. Well my serial number is 5.7 million which clearly falls out of the time period where Double Red dials were used. So what do I do now? I can continue with creating a version of the Mark IV and ignore this or go another route. My serial number falls right around the cut off where I could use a "Rail" dial, or just use a White 1665. Anyways, thought I would run this across everoyne and see what would be my path of least resistance. Sourcing a case with correct serial numbers for the dial, or sourcing a new dial for the correct serial numbers I have. Anyways thought I would ask.

JoJo you have PM!

I am looking for some Gen Tudor hands for my MBW 1665 and thought I would give this a shot. Thanks

Vlydog The do have pics. Go to Eurotimez88.com and after the xml screen loads click on "new watches 2009" then click on "mbk_rlx_1-1_DW" for the pics. Nanuq I hope they do as that is what I am planning on using it for.

Eurotimez now does have the silver open 6 and nine, flat top 3 date discs for eta 2824/2836. They are 20 bucks each. I ordered two of them and will post pics when I get them.

I would be interested in a few, if nothing else to experiment on for that price.

I currently have an older MBW 1665 w/ eta 2836. I have been trying to source a date disc that has both the open 6's and 9's as well as the flat top 3's. My question is will a Rolex date disc from a 16800 work on the eta movement? Thanks

Thanks Thanks and Thanks Thanks Thanks and Thanks Thanks Thanks and Thanks

Sorry, hit the button to many times.

Thanks Thanks and Thanks
