  1. that is a bad part! i really like the case and it come out nice after re-shaping. but CB has to go. i have a EL caseback on the watch now and it is "swiss made". my backup idea is to grind off CB and then make tick disk and weld it together; but its too much work and if i mess it up i dont have a new CB... this is a watch in question
  2. Marry Christmas vintage geeks, I have one quick question, some time ago I got a nice fantasy 2533/ 6152. After a lot of work and Donerix contribution watch is coming out sweet only problem is stock EL caseback; did anyone try any other case backs on Eddie Lee front loader fiddy case? My idea was to put Nightwatch solid CB and top it over; but after exchanging PM with Nightwatch and after I tried Davidsen CB and it didn’t fit. Big disappointment. Now before I start a project and cut the CB I would like to know is there anything that I should know? Did anyone trued to match EL with other CB? Thanks
  3. Hello gang, good friend is going tomorrow to HK and I was wondering if you guys have any good tips for a rep’s there (if any). thanks
  4. this is a new can of worms for you; how about alloy's that they use for the watch and or PVD? that is direct contact skin-metal, metal is abrasive and has more impact to the skin then rubber straps. do we know what is really in the "iron". i know one thing; rep 316 steel isnt as half hard as real one. they are saying that but in real life materials used in reps are way softer. i am jeweler and not a technologist but i know what i know and something is fishy in rep alloys. i would be more afraid of titanium rep case if i was in your place.
  5. Thanks Pete Mate, no luck so far...
  6. Hello gang, I need an advice from you. I want to pick up couple of highly modded maps (non frankens or LH) and I need them relatively soon. Mainly looking for 111 and 176 and am in a price range of 450 to 650 for head only. Sead is out of country and that is a problem for me now. I could go with DSN but last 2 times it was pure Lotto with him and I had to reassemble the watches, now I don
  7. it started as Andrew's "best" version with screws in back and asian movement and then some modding: lum-ed, Swiss movement, AR and re finished case on Alt strap. i really like this combo ant it would be cool Gen! what do ou think?
  8. now we are talking- that is something Chuck Norris and time relation!
  9. I posted this watch and as soon as i answered to first post RG crashed. Someone asked me how do you tell time? answer was: you don

  11. OK folks time has come to do something about Buckles. With all the respect to all buckle makers I think the there is a room for fine jewelry buckle. I am willing to make it. Am doing one Scull buckle to match my skull ring and cuff links. Now that is a bucket of worms that is on my table for a some time now. And if am going to do that I can do a bit more and lets make best
  12. Hello, am not a Rolex persona so I would need your help. Friend of mine asked me to get him nice Ultimate DSSD V4 or V5(if that is the best one) with ETA. Usually I was getting stuff from Andrew but because of bad QC and slack I don
  13. that is 47mm phantom "ring of fire"- its a same watch. dial is 44mm pam dial in a 47 case... and then you have a room for a ring.
  14. That is correct! Also its tick and feels different... I don
  15. Btw wheaton26 that is a kick a** watch!
  16. That is always a bit of the problem! Oem Black crock is hard to find outside of AD. Clasp is not that hard to find but its expensive
  17. this is my first post in this section; some watches are gone but memory's are strong
  18. I just exchanged couple of mails with Vac and it looks like am going to get Vac all-modd 5004 to replace this one! now only problem is where to get a Gen clasp and a strap and not to pay arm and a leg?
