703 will fit for sure. I thought the 704 had different threads to the 703 tube - someone to confirm. You can get USED 703s for around $60-80

looks good! The Insert makes a big difference

Here's some quick snaps. Just put it on a 93150 rep bracelet for now. And installed a SK T125 which I think looks "normal" now...

great reference Beach!

So a quick update. End up buying this thing.......... Managed to talk him down to a price I couldnt walk away from. Pics to come!

now that the members here have probably saved your $2000-5000, perhaps upgrade to a VIP member and support RWG?

thanks guys

fk! just realised they are not on our list anymore? any reasons why? apologies if i've missed this....

yeah have to say this thread is fairly pointless as each version has its flaws vs gen - hence there are reviews for specific (and more popular) variations. Now tell me, where can i get the best sub????

I went through my emails and found that I bought it from Silix. The odd thing is that in their pictures, it is a aluminum style insert but I got the watch, it was the clear plexi type. Strange indeed. I've inquired again, keep you posted to see if they can help me. They may or may not have the plexi anymore.

Yeah definitely the clear acrylic one with underside painted, I've taken it off to check the construction. Thanks for the help though

Thanks whoopy. Any chance you could PM me their emails? I have never purchased from either!

Have a standard cartel seamaster 300 vintage (not recent release of the remake) and lost the bezel insert. They are like a clearing insert wire black printed on from the underside. Anyone know if we are able to source it somewhere? Thanks

Still looking at it but its too expensive. I think for U$3.5K, I may consider it.... Good condition - actually torn as I believe the vintage look > NOS look (which is what this model kind of has).

Have seen these sell around that mark but with bracelet. Guess the recent service somewhat offsets that.

thanks for views guys. Just doing a bit of my own research, seems the that variation of the caseback is genuine. Just not as common as the thicker / bolder engravings. I have also seen 17 / 25 jewel hacking / non hacking 2784s in 9411 being sold so I think both are acceptable. I'm just caught up on this crystal. Has anyone else seen rounded top hats? is that found in 1675? Lastly, agree that you shouldnt pay rolex prices for tudors but I think the Snowflake (9411) and the standard sub (7298) are slightly different. They generally command a higher price plus the snowflake is unique with its square hands. Haven't really seen the 9411 being sold for much cheaper than $3.5-4K these days.

I think you're right B...though it looks "rounded" not flat, if you know what i'm trying to say, i.e., more like a dome. not like the below

Thanks for thoughts

Guys, Saw this watch in a local store. What are your thoughts? Guy was nice enough to let me take a few photos of it. No bracelet - comes on a nato. All markings are there, 9 million serial suggesting late 70's early 80's model. Think the dial is also the newer type looking at the way "Submariner" is written. Asking price was a little deep though, looking for A$5.2K which is around U$4K. The crystal is a bit weird though? doesn't seem like a "Tophat". All opinions appreciated.

sounds like you got a A-team doing this for you! looking forward to seeing end result

damnnnnnnn

has adhesive residue on the bezel .............

I think you have to be patient, very patient. If you give yourself a month, you won't find it. So I guess the downside is I waste alot of time trying to find these deals. Perhaps you have better things to do! Good luck with your search. 1675 are becoming harder to find but i'm sure you will mate.

Fair enough! I've been trying to play this genuine game differently I guess. I only pick up genuine pieces when they are an absolute steal. I picked up a 16750 last year for $2.7K with matte dial and bracelet. At that price, who cares about the condition of the polish lol

How are you guys making judgement without asking for potential price? lol For all you know, this could be priced appropriately (or am I missing something?)
