My condolencies to Reg, I know how that feels.

This is what I am wearing today and most of the time, is my all time favorite. 1680 with Ubi's date wheel and genuine dial

Is there a way to get just the bracelet, I have a MBW 1680, and the bracelet does not have the hollow mid links. thanks

I bought one of those from that guy the inseret is good snap in just like genuine but the pearl still is poor quality very close to genuine. check out the inseert here is a picture of my 1680 with genuine dial.

I must say, installing any datewheel overlay is a pain in the but, The overlay has aling precisely with the actual datewheeel, it takes a lot of patience and perseverance. keep trying and trying until is right. I myself has gone pass that experience with UBI's datewheel. I manage to install the datewheel on top of the original eta datewheel, used baby powder to remove the sticky on the back after installing the datewheel. If you do not want to use a thicker dial spacer try to not to tight movement too much with the clamps. that will allow some free movement between the datewheel and the dial. I wish I have a thicker spacer but i do not have one. Anyway here are the pictures, comments are welcome.

Thanks a lot

Great looking watch, do you mind posting the link for that insert and the pearl. thanks

I need to upgrade my membership, can someone tell mo how and where. thanks

Hello Everyone, I need a little help. today I was trying to remove the bezel from my TTK's Noobmariner, in the procees of doing this I broke the tube. I was wondering which tube and crow will fit without need to do any mods, does genuine will without retaping. Thanks

What do you mean by Metalized version, The one I have is from UBI and is a sticker version. I did not know there was another version.

I guess nobody know the part number. Figures

I may be able to source some parts for my 1680. I need the part number for a vintage bezel insert for a 1680. Thanks Ivan

You double posted this ??????????????

I guess you got what you paid for, what do you expect for $50.00. Unless I am missing something. I do not see the point on this thread. Regards

Hello, My 45mm PO will not screw anymore the crown will not turn and the hour can not be set anymore. I need to sen it for repairs. does anybody know of someone here in the us that can service the watch. Thanks

Hello, I have two watches that will not wind I believe, I can turn the crown several times maybe 5 or 6 and then it makes this click sound, I know that is not fully winded because I let sit for days until stops. Anybody has an idea of why. Thanks

I have a catalog from jules borel co. they have a 2893-2 listed for $182.15 you may want to give them a call. www.julesborel.com

the other day I received a brochure from Jules and Borel, I was browsing thru the pages when I found this movement that has a date wheel that looks very much like a Rolex vintage date wheel. I was wondering if someone can comment on this. I am not sure what type of movement is, but the date wheel looks really good. Thanks for your comments.

this is really interesting, I tried this on an old 16610 that I have about a year ago. I use a dremel first to make the bezel thinner so the insert will not have to be touch. I was going on the right direction but I got tired and give up. I need to take this back and do it again. thanks

This is ridiculous, Suppose that you take your car to the dealer for service, the car does not worth more money just because has been service. nobody in his right mind will think that the car is worth more because has been service. I will not even pay the same price as new. Is like trying to sell a Genuine used Rolex for the price of a new one. why buy used when you can buy the same one new. Just my personal opinion.

I am with you my friend my just died after six month, still works but the chrono will not start and is I start it the watch will stop. Definitely a beautiful watch. But a piece of junk. Just to service the watch is $200.00 I am not buying chronos anymore, this was my first and last. That is why I was staying away from them. lack of quality

Can this movement be use on the Tag Link Chrono, I have one that is giving problems, the chrono will start and stop aftere 10 second, and one of subdial continue moving. and if I start the chrono the watch will stop. I am thinking on replacing or maybe servicing the watch. but I think is better to replace it first. Thanks

PM sent for two

The date font does not look right, it has closed 6

The bracelet is Genuine I can tell that. I think there is not many replies because members are tired of Rolex Rep or Gen. I have a MBW 1680, With some mods (Gen Crystal, Gen Spring bars, Gen Dial, Gen Crown, CG modded) I do not wear the watch anymore. I am wearing my 45mm PO and my Tag link Chrono. I wish I could get more genuine part for my sub, it probably will motivate me to wear the watch. Nice looking watch you have there. Congrats
