Thought I answered your question in the other thread no? There is a components section where they sell parts. I can't link because they aren't a trusted dealer on RWG anymore.

Yeah you were one of the inspirations for this build. What case did you use? can you remind me? I think Freddy just meant that my crown was way too big haha which he is right Thanks for the kind words gents

Yep but I really like the big crown so went this version instead. very nice - and that looks like gen spec size too - the silix stuff a little too big silix prime

Ever since one of the guys on the board posted pictures of Rolex 6204 model, I really wanted to put one together. I think only a couple of guys have managed to find the right hands or made customs hands to fit the watch. Anyway, I assembled some left over parts and Silix case to put this one together. What do you guys think? I like it but really want to focus on getting my Tudor 7016 into good shape so may end up selling this.

Reppin, get a new set of hands - the yuki ones are wrong (too long)

gorgeous!

Thanks, Mike, I ran a search too and found that link - helpful. I did some extra digging and some think that it may be from Vietnam - hence why the extensive rotor engraving, etc. Quite convincing from afar but once you're close, you can tell the difference.

Hey guys, So I picked up this little thing from a local sales forum the other day. The backcase was almost impossible to open. Had several watchmakers give it a go with the rolex die but with no luck. End up using superglue around the notches to provide additional grip and finally got it opened. I was expecting a POS asian movement inside but take a look yourself - appears to be a Felsa 4002 movement, mimicking the 390 Tudor movement....Has anyone seen something like this before? The case is also marked and engraved decently too.... Comments more than welcome - what have I found here?

haha not a unfair decision!

Funny enough I have same models as yours. Also paid similar prices to you too...what else is on your list?

Looks good care to share a link?

I may have a Tudor 7298 rep available shortly. Will likely post it on the selling forums once its back up so keep a look out

great wristies - too many genuine watches getting thrown into the rep game haha

you resurrected a 4 year old post, Richard. They are working on the selling forums - just be patient

lol the video is real.... this is either advance level troll or .......needs education on rep vs. gen

Which one of the crystal was the replacement one? in the low dome? what number crystal if you don't mind? thanks

Bravo - Been saying this for some many months now. There is a guy at RWI specialising in building 16610 superfrankens and putting in gen movement, etc - pushing $3-4K...jesus.. the moment you question the build, they give you a spiel about how its a hobby and that they enjoy building it and how its priceless.. it sure is PRICE-LESS - enjoy taking a 40% loss when you sell for parts.

couldn't agree more with Panerai. Could suggest swapping them back using a independent watchmaker and sell off the service parts. The 'serviced' look is just horrendous

Tell us how you really feel about the movement? Haha good write up!

great comparison and thanks for this. Any chance we could reduce the thickness of the silix case to closer match the T-C?

[censored]......thats not good

definitely a rep

if it goes on ebay and it fetches that price - its unlikely to be fake. The guys bidding on Rolex bands are usually seasoned WIS

thanks guys. It has been difficult to be honest. The bottom one needed: - the dial minute indices repainted (the outer edges were rusted and the dial had water damage) - I fixed that but spray some light coats of matte gloss and repainted the indices with silver paint - the glass heavily scratched was polished - movement dead was replaced with new parts The top one needed: - a new bezel insert which is on its way - glass polished - movement just needed a service so its all fine now - contemplating cleaning up the lume but want to leave it this way so I have one clean and one dirty 6105
