I used the old MBW case, drilled for an actual HEV, drilled lugs, reshaped CG's. I like my result. I went with the InGod Rail Dial however Gen Service Crystal and Insert, Tudor Hands.

DW is very inconsistent. I have had a nearly identical experience as the OP. However, I have been "in friendly contact" with DW, I am still "waiting" on parts from November 2010!!! I feel this hobby is a lot like gambling, and have not/would not file a PP dispute. Moral of the story, we are dealing with language barriers and Quality Control issues. Especially with DW it seems.

Not for me. I said it before, but that thing looks more like something out of a Seiko design studio than Rolex. Lazy Rolex designers: "Lets just make it Maxi and throw in a Retro Hand -- Balance be damned". Kudos's however to Josh and company for doing a good replica...

Very Cool. Looks right at home on it.

Nice. I have not been able to figure out if my 300T "Sterile" Synchron, NON-Screwdown is original. There is mention of it in Dr. Pete's book.

Branded or Sterile? Screwdown or non?

I have a feeling the crown is unusable. Looking at the blow to the case/crown area. Also, someone in Alaska already hooked me up with a bracelet . Putting the money elsewhere.

Looks like a PARNIS made to scam someone.... TWENTY BIDS as of right now...

It has been bid up to a level where I think I AM OUT...

Yep. Boston for me!

Shhhhhhhhh....... I am the high bidder on that. Saw it this morning. Was looking to snag it for parts or restoration.

One on my right arm, and one on my left arm.

Welcome. Judging by your name you are into VW Corrado's / G-Ladders ??? Ever auto-x @ Qualcomm stadium? I ran a Scirocco there a couple of times in the 90's.

Cough... Yo, I think I mentioned it first... LOL

Nice Mil750 Right there with you today...

Very nice indeed.

Thanks, and yes, that price is on leather strap.

You need a 3.00x.35mm tap to chase the threads and possibly go deeper into the case -or- you will need to use a Dremel to cut back some threads. I have also found many of the aftermarkets are longer on the inside portion. Maybe find a Gen?

Great update... I am still holding out for a "Conquistador"... (Wishful thinking, I know)

That looks fantastic...

I picked this up for $1180 + $350 Service = $1530 for a fully functional daily wearer.

When properly serviced, what increases this friction? Oil? -or some mechanical tweak on assembly?
