904 steel does not exist in reps and anyone who says it does is a scam site so be warned!
Bk is an excellent dealer who adds value to a standard watch. He is currently away in Asia on holiday so may be slow to answer!
A gen bezel would fit the upo but a shim needs to be made as the case is thicker around the crystal on the gen. I sacrificed rotation on mine and bonded it to the case.
As said the 42 is a straight swap but not the 45.
We need to see a pic of this link to see if it passes in the first place or this could all be for nothing. Ok for you to say tc is sorting it but it would be nice hear it from the organ grinder himself and show a pic for us to critique!
In for these but it makes me laugh!!! The factory makes a crap dw overlay so we have to commit to blackmail through orders to make them do another!! They must be laughing their socks off! Ah well....
I see nothing fake about this case to be honest. Insert has a flat 4 so is older than 2006 I would say. I have a gen insert that has a pearl that looks as rough as that too!
Case is correct as is crystal, crystal retainer etc!
You will also notice the slightly higher than centre crown tube position which is also correct and not seen on any rep case that I know of.
Just my opinion of course!
I have a gen ar crystal here in front of me and big crown is correct, there is no ar on the cyclops. The crystal is ar coated both sides in just that location. It is the only way to go if you have managed to make a mask for the crystal that sits the ar in the right place for the date window. Great work!!!!!!!
The markers on the black one are totally rubbish in colour. I'm re luming mine with watchlume special blue mix for Rolex from Singapore.
I would love a gen crystal as I think it may fit.
The date wheel is larger on this watch buddy so the dw from bk will not work.
I was going to see if we could source a gen crystal for these.
I have one of these in bits at the moment while I relume it, I have the black one. I'm going to remove the cyclops and get the crystal ar coated.
