here's my noob v4

not the bezel engravings, rehaut ROLEXROLEX engravings, and skinny hour hand.

Beautiful island and watch!

Wow, nice gen dial!!!

Please tell me that is a 1655 cartel case, because it looks awesome!

Here's my build, not done yet as im still in search of a nice DWO and some minor case mods around the cg area...

 

Check BK, he actually sell among the very best rollies around here.

I bought an "Hulk" from him (http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/149909-product-offering-noobfactory-ceramic-green-lv-sub-hulk/#entry1180873) and it is a stunner !

Well, BK's does not have the AR on the cyclops and it has the wrong hour hand. 

I wouldn't call that the best...

wow, look at the case to bracelet fitment!

fantastic!

Honestly, I just don't see the value in it at 6.3K euro.

The value to these watches comes from them being all original, in original condition.

A franken smash up of parts, even if they are all corresponding, I think would be a tough sell in that euro 10k+ price range.

So, then, if you are building it for yourself for fun, then I'd go with a silix case and save the other 6.2K and buy something nice for your wife.

TT is Two Tone, SS is stainless steel.

Scroll down to the watches clothing acceries section, undnerneath is listed all the trusted dealers.

I would use this a $150 lesson in fake watches, just be thankful, many have spent much more than you!

Well, personally, I would have passed on that watch and would look for something with a better build quality that I would feel at least comfortable wearing in public.

Things already mention like the wokky rehaut, crooked 12 oclock marker, wrong clasp, misaligned 12 o'clock rehaut etched coronet, plus thick hour hand, cyclops too far too the right, the 9 o;clock minute marker crooked and touching the minute tic,

Just looks like a cheap junk, sorry, no offense, and that is the BIGGEST tell of a fake Rolex that even non-watch geeks can spot.

The $100 21j SS versions from trusted dealers here are much better watches, better build quality, correct clasps, etc.

Good luck and welcome

Of course if he shows you a genuine watch and claims it's a rep......

Ken

I agree with Ken...

Awesome! More pics please!

^^^Nice!

OP, did you notice the white dial explorer you linked to has the 12 o'clock trangle crooked? Look how it lines up with the rolex corenet crooked.

Next time please put a question mark in the title of your thread.

Nice work!

Wondering also if you did the incabloc.

And where did you get the winding wheels?

Will you perform these mods to our watches for a fee?

I think a nice package would be winding wheels, pearlage and incabloc.

Wow, the noob case can take a gen crystal?

Looks awesome!

I'm pretty happy with this combo

Seriously, what's the deal with that finger nail dood?

Wait, Sillix sent you a pic of a gen telling you that is the watch you are going to get?

Not cool....at all.

I think the date mag is wayyyyyy to far to the right, the QC is terrible, look at the end link fitment and how bad it is on one side compared the "not as bad" side.

The dial on that LV is not even close to the Puretime version, the stainless steel surrounds on the hour markers are just silly looking.

The PT dial hour marker surrounds are improvement when compared tot he esteemed WM9 LV in this regard,

Beautiful gen!

This looks great!

All you need is a Y shaped incabloc and it's a done deal!

Make sure the seller is established and has good feedback so you don't get scammed.

watch may be gen in the photos, but you may not receive the one he's showing pics of or get anything at all.

Buy your seller, than your watch.

Gen dials make this watch, the best rep dials aren't even close.

The DSN's are matte/satin finish and the gens are a nice glossy white.

Love the patina of the tritium lume btw.

These are actually blue but in the pic they look black, so that gives you that frame of reference.

Did you buy it that way or have you had this watch for decades?

The last shot looks nice, need more detailed shots so we can see pbdad's magic touch.
