Milgauss...Green sapphire.. I have the new release Day~Date. coming in.. stay tuned AC Lani

I wouldn't mess with it.. but if you can post a link it may help others here.. as we need to keep informed of these so called rep sites..their springing up like weeds.. stay with the dealers here is my advise.. thanks for posting this one.. AC Lani

Thanks JJ .. I was thinking a little less.. the market is very, very soft right now.. but it's good to know at least 3k as a starting point.. not worth trading .. IMO.. in the 90's these would of gotten a lot more.. but that was then and this is now.. thanks for the time..

Remember I posted this watch earlier this week.. I took it into a collector today since I was checking on my beloved Doxa, his watch smith is working on the bezel .. He places it mid~1940's ..I was offered ridiculous money for it a long while ago.. but decided to hold on to it.. he slowly came around to saying he would be interested in a trade if I was so inclined..as I was viewing a TT DJ.. and some vintage Explorer's the Date Just was listed @3500 usd .. very good price IMO.. it is used but looked fresh out of the box.. the guy sells more Pam EL's daily than we buy reps.. He may have a genuine case for my 9411 from a contact .... I felt it was time to fish a little with my Ubifranken 9411.. my take on bringing on the topic of my rep case is:... his opinion of me came about over time and hopefully knowing my character, instead of judging me by reps first off.. I told him of what I had in my 9411 and that I have a genuine 1680 NOS bezel on it's way and .... would he consider swapping the bezel for me.. he said"'no problem".. then added he may be able to source a genuine case if I was interested.. (I would rather send it up North, for work .. but the traveling of the watch would have me a nervous wreck..) so I have some choices to make with my Bubble Back.. My question is what is this worth in trade ??.. as I would want to have an idea of my own.. before negotiations.. it's kind of exciting to think of what I may be able to procure with a trade.. Thought's and opinions would be greatly appreciated.. AC Lani My Bubble Back

Make sure you understand the proper way to remove the crown before attempting this.. or you'll mess up the keyless works.. it is simple "once you understand the steps" AC Lani

good choice the black dial rep is far more accurate than the white face.. there are different makers .. the rehaut vary from maker to maker,.. enjoy your acquisition,.. and you are spot on about .. there being more Live strong and Wear it Well AC Lani

Looking good P_ !! Great first choice !!!!.. Cannot go wrong with a SOSF Live Strong and Wear it Well AC Lani

If you have access to a "rep friendly" watch smith that could take a look at it.. or return it for a exchange.. it happens often with our hobby.. inform your dealer if you plan to do anything locally .. they are pretty good about working with you on that respect... you really can't even speculate on what the problem is until someone takes a look at the movement.. let us know your progression AC Lani

This was not made for Rolex per-say... but I've seen pics of genuine 9411's with nato style leather straps and it looked really cool (for me), of course the straps were just as vintaged as the 9411 was... I put it on the backburner.. most of the nato leather style straps looked like very cheap leather.. on a lot of sites.. I stumbled on this one.. I think it adds a little to the 9411.. a little more than the nylon G-10's imo... AC Lani
