The rep scene has certainly changed a bit and for me it’s not quite as much fun as the old days

I just ordered this... what do you guys think?
https://trustytimewatch88.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=22886
I'd like to turn it into a 14060, but not sure where to get a dial and crystal, and if they will fit properly... I'm aslo wondering if this is meant to be a later model, but the lume is green and the lugs aren't drilled
Dimensions of the 14060 and 16610 are not the same unfortunately. 14060 uses the Sd 16600 insert with a smaller internal diameter so you would have to just remove the cyclops from 295 crystal rather than fit the correct 285/6 crystal. The dial might also be too small. Someone else who might have tried this may comment too.
Let us know if you try with any success as many would like to create a nice 14060!

These were a great watch. Only thing it lacked was the thick rehaut the seadeeller has. I like the aged look!

Shouldn’t this be unpinned? It’s so outdated…
Starting to think you don’t like me!

Nice to see some old names here again. All is quiet on this forum these days.
Things have certainly changed in the last couple of years. Prices are getting a bit silly these days on some of the desired models.
My go to dealers these days are either Sead(supernirrors) for his U.K. stock and Li at jtime

I agree. The 16610 is the best watch Rolex has ever made, a proper tool watch and perfectly balanced for everyday wear.

Bought one a few weeks ago. Have since fitted a vr3135(personal choice) and a gen crystal.
Overall it’s a good watch. The stock dw is crap but overall pretty good
Jf is not out of stock, it’s now no longer made so don’t wait for that to restock.

Use a gen datewheel as an overlay. You may need to slim it down on the back so it doesn’t rub on the underside of the dial but many guys have done it. You didn’t state which DJ you have, 36mm or 41mm

Very nice result! Wear in good health!

Looking good. Overlay to me is the hardest part!

Looks gen to me and looks to be a 603 albeit a bit used. Not sure what you can do other polish it with a multitool/Dremel.

Very over polished but nothing there to worry about. A gen 2008 16610.

[mention=2081]watcher[/mention] According to automatico's "Crown info" thread it could either be a 24-600-x crown on a 24-60xx tube or a 24-603-x crown on a 24-53xx tube. Furthermore it is also possible that the case I ordered has a completely different tube spec than any Rolex.
Sorry I meant 24-603. See how it is upon arrival. I forget what my case came with as it was 4 years ago.
