    stay away from FLEABAY... its a den of scammers.

    ""I TELL you GUYS all the time... the ITEMS on fleabay are from watch repair or upgrade centers, or diamond modders.

    a used part is MUCH different then a NEW PART. the price and value are much different!!! and cannot be compared in anyway!!

    a dealer will sell a used part (rolex, breitling, patek, omega, etc.) for whatever he can get -IT IS GRAVY. he has NOTHING invested in the cost of the item because it was replaced with a NEW part by the repair center, and he kept the spare to sell.. he is happy to sell the item and is glad he does not have to throw it away.

  3. have had several of these also done my self..

    i have a lot of navitimer spares including bracelets and double ar'd crystals, cases, dials, movements and DW's pm me for pointers if you need info on doing a franken.

    note: for a proper franken yopu need a gen inner tachy ring, but it can be done w/o!

  4. 1. rolex outsells breitling 3 to 1.

    2. rolex barely ever changes bezels/movements/dials parts design or changes design very litttle.

    3. rolex has been selling similar styled watches for 50+ years :-) NOT breitling.

    while rolex tries to keep a tight lit on parts distribution (as does breitling) they cannnot monitor a 5+ fold volume as tightly as they would like.

    send me a pm if you need breitling parts.

  5. hello all!

    no more apart pics. sorry.

    i do have more outside case shots.

    i did not do any of these installs. i do no watch work.

    these were all done by forum members. i was never ever told of any mods that had to be done to 'make it work'.

    again i beleive a symptom of REPLICA WATCH factories and varyign degrees of production...

    i wish i could get a PAM0036 you know the one i mean... the high cannon pinion, ar'ed, thick crown, real ti case, limited production/rare production from a few years ago. why cannt they still make it like that ONE?

  6. sample pics:

    V1 CASES with GEN DIALS and BEZELS and MOVEMENTS.

    not 'jerry rigged'

    (in the first pic the BLUE is replica parts except bezel)

    i have alot more pictures in folders... but i just selected afew for forum.

    anyone want a higher res pic.. i have those too.

    ONCE again.. i believe its a symptom of vary production runs and timelines, when dealing with replica items and low quality control.

  7. has anyone seen excellent to good quality Ladies Omega SPEEDMASTER Chrono reps???

    gen uses Automatic movement not Quartz.... so i prefer an auto.

    its time my wife has a good quality automatic chrono watch in addition to her MBK/mbw autos..

    otherwise i get a gen for her... thing is she wants the one with a stone bezel.. so i would much rather get a great quality rep and have a real stone bezel installed 'cause all her friends won't see past the bezel anyway.

    cheers!

  8. thank you for your time and consideration of these notes in advance..

    1. the elprimero as finisihed by rolex used diff. hand post sizes.. i have gen hands to fit to a elprimero (ebel 134) does anyone have the correct part numbers for the rolex parts i need to upgrade the movement? a source for the parts? do i need all six pieces or did rolex leave some of these movement pieces stock?

    2. what is the diff between MBW/MBK 16520 case and jeweleryandwatch case????? i have done a search and can find no defin. answer! except that the jn'w case is 1650usd !! please point me in the right direction... and also what dealer is sourcing MBW/MBK watches/parts now-a-days???? thank you very much in advance.

  9. im changing back to the car thread idea...

    a few of the FAV's i have owned:

    Nissan NISMO 300ZX Twin Turbo

    E300 4-Matic

    Discovery Series I

    Discovery Series II

    Discovery Series III

    BMW 325i

    BMW 535i

    M-Benz ML500

    Aprilia RSV1000R LE

    Honda XX Blackbird FI

    Suzuki GSXR1000

    oh and my gen watch collection outweighs my rep collection... actually i am enjoying the gens more than the reps... however i mostly just collect them.. to me they can be likened more to appreciated artwork. they just sit in a display case.
