  1. Any local independent watchsmith will do that for you,that's how i resized mine as well,for 0.50 cents of a Euro.No questions asked.Besides adjusting a bracelet can hardly be considered as working on a rep!!! no strange and mysterious looks No worries my friend
  2. With such kind of disclaimer i'd bet he was selling NATO
  3. Excellent work BM!!! Thanks for your time and effort my man
  4. This guy is real something!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/Vacheron-Constantin-Carie-Historique-tourbillion_W0QQitemZ250545337236QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWristwatches?hash=item3a55aa7394

  8. Not everyone out there knows Z or Vac like we do...so no i wouldn't be suspisious.The average Joe who buys a rep is usually someone who knows nada about watches and usually spends no more than 50-100$ to get a Canal street low quality rep.He does not spend any more time or money to modify this watch,nor has the knowledge or tech support behind like we do. In fact in the daylight,lume in not too visible so odds are not even i could notice the lume density. But to answer to your question from my point of view lume is a plus to our highly modded watches and definitely adds points.I am currently waiting for my 16570 to return back from Zig re-lumed,i needed to perform this for two main reasons 1)Like Rob said i also got "the disease" like most of you guys in here and 2)since i have spent quite an amount of money to make it look as close to the real thing as possible i felt i should go for the final step which was the SL.I own both the rep and the gen and i got to tell ya my friend the lume on the gen is mind blowing. Like FM said the lume is a rep guy thing.Before RWG i wasn't paying any attention to things like these,i have friends who own gens and do not even know how to set the gmt hand or how to operate the chronograph!!! Personally i thing that SL is a must for highly modded reps. That's my 0.02$
  9. Tube had to be replaced with a 24.5330.0 Rolex tube But the outcome is stunning,makes a whole lot of difference like BT stated in his review.
  10. 16570 uses the 24-603-0 crown,this is the one i have used on mine
  11. I sugest you go for the black one.Either way one thing you are going to need to replace for sure is the crown to a gen or an OEM one,along with the tube. bklm1234 is the one you should contact,like BT already said
  12. Gorgeous collection my friend i love the Navi bezel numbers alignment and the grand carrera is a stunner!!!
  13. I have to agree,better quality pics would help but looks good to me as well.
  14. Lumibrite is one of the best lume materials out there
  15. Just something i came across watchuseek and thought i should share with my fellow RWG members http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=182053
  16. WM9 is selling 3135 for 1700$
  17. Just found the GMT hand!!!it is hidden under the hour hand at 2 o'clock It took me about 20 minutes to find it but it is there!!!
