    It's rep. I have one of the titanium GSTs too that i should put in a gen 7750 into.

    Thanks for the replies! How much would it go for if it was not sold to one of these companies?

    There are lots of experts here.. I'm thinking of maybe selling my Zenith El Primero Rainbow (gen) in central London to one of the watch companies that buy used watches.. so I'm trying to figure out how much I should expect or be happy with.. my guess would be at least 1500GBP... I will post photos below. I have everything from the box, warranty card, metal bracelet, and a leather strap. All instruction and warranty booklets. Maybe I will try to put it on TimeZone but I only have until Friday I guess... and am reluctant to take it to Spain when I leave on Saturday! At least I won't have the boxes etc.

    Re-posting photos.

    I was rummaging around boxes and found this completely unused... SS Ingy... I guess I never fell in love with it and the titanium version came out not long after, a watch I still wear from time to time! Anyway, here are pictures:

    Hey your PMs are full too... these are not produced anymore, sadly, but I guess they would be so expensive these days, with the higher gold prices.

    Thanks! I tried APbands about the screws when it originally happened and they don't have anything... maybe I should try again. I can't remember where I got the strap but it was a custom one for this watch.. maybe it was APbands or another AP specialist strap maker, I believe there was another one but cannot recall it. I have a screwdriver set for opening computers which *might* be small enough... I guess I have to decide if I want to take it to Spain, alongside loctite!

    I'm pretty sure the dial is probably J&W or some such... I have the white dial (I think also J&W) with with black subdials too... but I like having the red dial I can't remember about the hands, perhaps they are a better fit for the white dial ! Great dials are hard to find for these and I'm out of money, sadly

    I don't have a correctly shaped screwdriver for the Survivor, sadly.. or would have done this after the first one dropped out! The T3 was after a couple of days.. I hadn't gotten around to it. I should have done it when changing from the rep strap! And yes the Survivor definitely needs a clean! Build up of dirt and sweat I guess from wearing it a lot back in the day. I normally use Loctite Threadlocker 222 in the red case, should be fine right ?

    I've had these two watches and loved them unmodded... however quite quickly - a matter of days - screws came loose and were either saved here or lost outside... I asked the dealer (an EU-based one in my country) for replacements and coming back after 2 years in Spain and looking at my watch box.. these watches missing my touch... but unwearable in case they fall apart? Does anyone know where I can find screws that will fit? Bear in mind that I'm pretty broke right now... The watches in question are the AP T3, where a screw at the case and strap has fallen out: The other being THREE (3) screws falling out of the caseback of the AP Survivor... one I really like! And here are some healthier pics of the watches: FML !!! #firstworldproblems

    Love the 31
  13. Chronus
    woah! love this... I have the uPO in 42 and 45mm... but this is oh so tempting...! I guess this is where being broke forces my hand

    Here's another blast from the past... A rare Santos 100 chrono with ETA 7753 with the date adjustment on the case side opposite that of the crown. Amazing rep, as close as it gets, matched up with a gen strap.. I can't remember if the buckle is gen (it's a few years since I got it) but it feels great! This rep is discontinued. Indeed, I believe all the ETA 7753 reps are discontinued these days and impossible to find.. guess I should keep hold of this and the modded PAM 188 and 196s eh? Here are some pics, pardon the dust and lighting... my good camera equipment is not here:

    This was a watch I was crazy for a while back. I was going to buy from J&W and then this appeared on the sales forum and I dropped a LOT of money (I shouldn't have) on it... It's the Vietnam case with gen valjoux 72 movement, with correct assymetrical gen screw in pushers and tube and crown. Raised crystal (can't remember if this is gen?), old school bracelet.. and I love the red dial, definitely different. I also have the white dial with black subdials. I guess the chase was the big thing for me as it's quite small for me but it looks lovely! Here are some pics:

    Ok here's mine.

    Eyeing the solid gold FM casablanca... but actually wearing the DeWitt Academia..
  19. Chronus
    I don't know if anyone remembers the ultra-limited run of virtually accurate solid gold 18k FM Casablancas...I believe only 10-25 are/were in existence. I say virtually, but I think not even FM afficionado & expert, Archibald, could tell the difference! Definitely weightier than regular SS steel.. confirmed decorated (FM rotor) Swiss ETA 2892.. I probably replaced the (already great) strap with a better one that suits the colour, but I can't remember for sure. This was mightily expensive back then... and gold prices have risen a lot since then... and impossible to find. I really don't know what I was thinking back then, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity for something so accurate, although I think I have a gen Casablanca dial somewhere in any case Rarely worn, as I'm not really a gold kinda guy but still nice to look at Suffice it to say, I haven't had time to wear this as we have been apart in separate countries, but it's nice to see when I'm back. Here are some photos for your perusal... caseback Back 2 front: Size comparison with the Vegas (yes the Vegas has a plastic covering on the crystal).

    Very nice.. I have a Doxa as well but without the same story behind it, sadly... but it is a newer version with a similar case and bracelet Enjoy!
  21. Chronus
    The caseback of the FC one is really titanium ?
  22. Chronus
    Very nice!

    If you like hip hop, check out Gang Starr (probably my favourite), Big L, Diggin In The Crates (DITC), MOP, Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Mos Def, Black Star, Talib Kweli, The Roots For metal I listen to the usual suspects, Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Dragonforce, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, well so many to name but they are pretty much well known... well most of the metal I listen is pre-90s.
  24. Chronus
    Agreed.. so many rep makers lie about the smallest things... wht trust for a few bucks less? Or can we mod with gen lenes And stripping screws?
  25. Chronus
    my feelings exactly.
