  4. Hi, I bought 3 of theses good pieces. 2 for me and one for a friend. I had to resize them. the first 2 were ok, but something went wrong with the 3rd one, the black and orange one. Too bad it is one of mine Does someone know where to find this broken tiny piece ? Thanks in advance for your help... The pics (crappy but imade with an iphone...)
  5. At least the pearl is different and may be the 5 min markers too. Is it the same ?
  6. Thanks a lot. It sounds already quite difficult to find the appropiate movement. I'll have a look to this web site to see how difficult this project sounds before going further...
  7. I agree but do not know how difficult it is to source this kind of movement. Can you help me in my quest ? I must admit I felt in love with this tudor beauty...
  8. Could a ETA Movement Cal 2783 w/Date be uses also instead ? Can the dial be swap on a MBK and keeping the standard ETA mouvement waiting to find the right eta 2784 ? Thanks for sharing your knowledge
  9. I meant what kind of old style case chould be the best to start from ? One with lugholes at least but a also on with plexy vintage style. A mbk-rlx-5512 may be. Does it make sens . I am learning, knowing it will be a long road, but for sure here is the place place to have all the help and knowlege needed Waiting for all other advices
  10. do you know what kind of case could be use for this project ? I not a expert at all but I really like these tudor sub, so I would like to start collecting pieces... Thanks in advance for your help
  11. Hello, I recently found the following dial. Here is the description of the previous owner. RARE 1970s Mens Tudor Oyster Prince Submariner Matt-Black Dial Description: Matt-black dial. White hour markers - please note markers are not luminous. Circa: 1970s Measurements: diameter 26 mm approx. Dial legs at 11 mins & 41 mins. Calibre: Unknown Overall Condition of Dial : Very good Notes: 100% Original Tudor. Not even sure it is not a fake... So what to do with this one. In which kind of case shoult it be installed ? what mvt & hand, etc.... Here it is: Thanks in advance for your help !
  12. It is amazing to ask the same day where to buy this watch and receive it..... . Can you post picture please ?
  13. By the way, any good site for a nato ?
  14. Thank you Teejay !!
  15. I am far from beeing a Rlx expert but it seems to me that the "S" of the "SEA", both the big and the small one, have not the same font as the gen... I am wrong ?
  16. Any update Gio ?
  17. I was considering a Nato band on my SD for this summer bud had some questions: Can a Nato band be installed with the standard rep spring bars or is it mandatory to install gen or gen like 2 mm spring bars ? About 2mm spring bars, what model can fin a SD without lug hole ? Does it need any drilling (an how to do it from the inside ?) ? Thanks in advance for your help
  18. All second hands are too short on asian version, which is a big flaw by the way. This can be spot on at a wrist distance... Too bad
  19. I can see the 20$ new year coupon but what is the "regular" 20$ coupon. Can they be used for the same order ? Thanks in advance
  20. I did not realise they were so bad , especially the second one. I think I will start with a standard noob (where to order to be sure to have a "real one" with QC ?) as I think a WM9 will be too expensivewith the risk to ruin it in my activities. I do not intend to keep it only in a watch box...
  21. I've PM you about your watch...
  22. I do not think it can be ETA. 1rst one was 20$, 30$ for the second sub, directly in beijing I must precise... I think I will try the new pearl as you suggest alligoat and keep the other one for the band and parts. Think also I will consider a BK or at least a noobmariner, depending on the money...
  23. Hello to all. I bought these sub reps long ago before discovering RWG and I was wondering how good (or not !) these were and what kind of model (I mean factory) they were. Sorry for some crappy picts, there are my fery first attemps and I see now I shoud have clean them before First one: I used to wear it as daily beater before changing for the second one. Here it is: The seconde one: It's now my daily beater (see the scratches on the band !). Different from the first one but I don't know which one is more accurate. Date is amazing with different fonts. Here it is: Are the third one, my wife's one in fact. Even don't know if it exists but it looks really good. Here it is: Side by side: According to me, : - Bezel insert and pearl replacement on both. - dateweel is wrong on both but can it be replace ? by what ? - Date mag is wrong on sub 1, can it be changed ? by what and how ? - CG must be trimed on sub 1, better on sub 2 - Crown gasket if off on sub 2 (cut while using crown). What could be use to replce it, where to order ? - Crown to big on sub 2. Can I replace tube and crown with better ones ? - Bands are not too bad but scraches sould me removed... But on the top of that, do these watches are worth this work if the basements are not strong enought ?[/ Thanks in advance for your help and to share your knowledge !
  24. To bad... I just received also a noob but with the cheapest Asian 21J. It runs great with 2 days of power reserve. Same with a another sub wich has been my daily beater for 3 years now without any service (40 hours power reserve almost). So why an ETA clone ?
  25. A Dandy Chronot by Chaumet. One od the classiest watch ever...
