Interesting how this works out. I really would like to have a 5513 or 5512 as well.

Puretime has the ultimate 127 with superlume, fixed pin, swan-neck movement.

I like cream.... Going to buy myself more cream, get creamy, got cream?

Just beautiful.....pure class.

What about a Rolex 16800 - Gotta love that cream!

Parts are easy to make or already exist. Only real new part would be a good case. So low cost and easy set up.

Untill when did Rolex use this type of dial with the open 6's and 9's?

Not sure how most people feel about dropping $800 to $1200 on a gen dial to use in a rep, but I will say this- It would be VERY unique as I have not seen this done... Yet! Would be a shame to sacrifice a genuine dial, so maybe anothr option would be to have one printed up. MY comes to mind... And at a bit less than what a gen dial would cost!

I won't be spending $800 plus on a gen dial. So maybe look for the transitional dial.

But printing one sounds interesting? Where and how could this be done? Contact the dealers?

BtW, thank you all for the info. I've learned many things.....

Do you guys notice the rehaut on that?

What's rehaut?

Gen parts fit with some work. For the insert- You'll have to trim down the back so that the insert fits lower in the bezel. The dial should drop right in. For the crown and tube- The tube will most likely require you to re-tap the case, but the crown will thread onto the ETA stem no problem. For the springbars, you'll have to have the lugs drilled for 2mm bars with 1.2mm ends.

Ok, thnx. Hmm, I think I can't do all those mods myself. I'm still a relative noob on this customizing. And to take it as a 1st project wouldn't be the smartest I suppose.

I have a old case which I maybe can use. I posted it yesterday, thought I was a vintage style case, but turned out to be modern. But maybe of any use?

Thanks for all the info.............

Best case would be a TW. This accepts gen parts right?

Do the new vintage models sold by the dealers also accept gen parts?

Maybe use such a case and work from there if a tw case is impossible to find?

And where can one buy gen dials? Looked on Ebay but couldn't find anything.

I got into Rolex recently and I'm learning more each day. I never got the idea why the submariner was so popular, but now I understand. Simple yet elegant timeless design.

What that in mind, I'm thinking of getting myself the noobmariner to start the Rolex madness.

But the model that really did it for me was the Submariner 16800 with cream dial etc.

I don't have much info and knowledge about Rolex, so I would like to know what it takes to get/build such a piece.

Is the noobmariner a good base to start with etc?

Ok, thnx. Case is modern, measered 40mm, no serials. Will thrash it.

So my short excitement to build something like this pic has ended

Any ideas how to get this? Not want to spend much $.

Been a long time Panerai fool, but recently got into Rolex. Some changes aren't so bad...

I've been on the hunt for a good submariner and I realized that I've had a Rolex rep before. A rep I got from a friend that he picked up on a trip to Turkey some 8/9 years back for like $35.

Everything on that watch is garbage, BUT I looked closely at the case and the case looks like those vintage MBW etc cases.

I am just a noob on Rolex, so I've taken some pics to share with you all. Could someone tell me if it's something or that it's just a piece of junk metal.

Great story....

Btw, how did you get through customs?

I ordered it from trusty.

Here is a topic in which Kruzer explains the flaws on the sub reps.

Pictures are from Trusty's site.

It's the Submersible PAM24 and based on caseback on one of the pics I say it's the one with the Asian 21jwls movement.

Not a very accurate rep.

P.S.

I was also looking for a good Submersible. I ended up ordering the new Submersible Destro. Can't wait to receive it.

Sometimes the better quality aftermarket pins have better more substantial threads which will bite where the replica ones won't. Its worth trying before you write off the case.

Have already tried that, won't do the job.

Hi,

I've got a problem on one of my lugs. The screw won't screw down anymore, seems the wire is damaged.

How can I repair this?

This is the 'new' version right? Does it still have the recessed pin?

Just missed this one....
