Yeah, yeah.. you remind me of the guy that said... "I'm the humblest guy around and want everyone to know it" :rofl:

Night

that is a must get.. it was superbly replicated PVD..OEM done from scratch..

this is one reference.. I have the box and papers stored.. I should dig them out.. did late 80 still have the vintage lugs ?? Brand: Rolex Dial Color: White Series: Explorer Bracelet/Strap: Steel Model Number: 16570 Clasp Type: Oysterlock Gender: Unisex Movement: Self-Winding Automatic Size: Large Power Reserve: 50 hours Case Material: Steel Water Resistance: 100 meters/330 feet Case Dimensions: 40mm diameter Case Thickness: 12mm Limited Edition: - Crystal: - this comes from another Rolex site, listing the 16570 as the white dial and the 16550 as the cream coloured dial that was a defect from manufacturing by Rolex..I found multiple references for this info.. Reference Numbers: 16570, 16550 BT could clear this one up fo sure, or TMG.. my model is the same as this one..>Here I am probably wrong with the year.. my numbers are getting seriously messed up..since my little episode in July..

thank you cskent .. it is so rewarding to be able to help members make an informed decision and not one that is marketing hype.. (that is how we roll here).. unlike the real brands I try and call them as I seez um .. no hidden agenda's on RWG.. AC/Lani

Welcome Kent !! Congrats on your interest in this hobby.. it can get addicting, but this forum has the best supporting membership on the net.. Holla if you need an assist. AC/Lani

Thank you Thogga.. Andrew' should be the same 316F fo sure !! the steel in comparison to my genuine is spot on..

It's keeping perfect time with my computer time, my Milgauss is also a Rolex clone and it also is keeping excellent time.. the DSSD and my Milgauss are in sync with my 2 genuine Rolex... these Rolex rep movement feel really good through the crown.. better than the A7750 in comparison.. AC/Lani

no flat 3 .. ??

it's 70's but one thing I am terrible at is remembering the model numbers.. serious problem in this hobby.. AC/Lani

..Congrats big time Piz !!!!.. it stayed in the community.. AC/Lani

Gav..my genuine 16570 is from a 70's vintage .. Is your bracelet darker, or the case, regarless it may be oxidation, easy fix.. cape code will remove the oxidation or if you want to go all out a refinishing with a jewelers buffing wheel and satin finishing wheel.. the worse case scenario, is to check out the authenticity of your bracelet if that is the part that is discolored.. as the genuine Rolex 904 does not oxidize to the point of discoloration.. at least mine does not have this effect.. but I know looking at my explorer the ss was re-polished professionally. hope that helps AC/L

I like the second pic.. that looks good ... my goal is to get it to that point but retain the metallic sparkle.. almost there with my Yukis insert .... in the sun it has a nice metallic look to it.. still needs a little more fading.. I may stop the process and let it go the rest of the way naturally with just wear.. the way I'm doing this one takes about 2 months.

Great Marty Can ya feel this one? Black Steel AC/Lani

If you did grab that beauty .. I would be elated piz. !!!!!! if it stayed in the community that is great !!!!

Congrats Red!!! I missed this thread earlier.. glad to see you have your beauty on your wrist!! she is a truly beautiful timepiece Live Strong and Wear it Well AC/Lani

My thought is a Royal Hawaiian coloured dial with something like one of these somewhere on the dial a silhouette of free diver.. hawaiian style, there are cooler decals.. with ultra long fins.. or a dive He'e logo.. I can relate since diving for taco was my fave thing Or the Honu.. the sign of perseverance and prosperity.. this hold special spiritually sentiments for me.. I was thinking mainly parts.. but today started visioning something more.. AC/R

White or mother of pearl.. definitely, not black.. if anything white... white.. white.. IMO.. more classy for a Lady.. if your gonna get black anyway why ask AC/R

Good stuff Gio.. looking forward to your great reviews !!! AC/Lani

missed another beads of rice bracelet.. it was up for 2 days .. well.. after having such a stellar November.. no whining here.. AC/Lani

Very nice indeed the texture is cool.. AC/Lani

Nippon

You again!!!! .. don't ya have something to do ?? your mama is calling I think.. .. you need to take out the dog or somethinnnnnn... yeah.. it is a definite improvement. I don't think you really exist.. how's that AC/Lani

OK Gents... I think "we" have a winner.. I say we because, all of the input in this thread is what lead to what appears to be success in the final stage of aging, my Yuki insert, right now it has a nice light silver metallic hue to it.. a week or two more and hopefully it will resemble a genuine aged insert.. I will post pics this week of what it looks like now.. probably tomorrow.. I don't wanna upset what is going on with it now.. but it has been a combination of methods that was used in this, the final stage of aging..looks great :thumbsupsmileyanim: AC/Lani

it's ok techlo-lo.. every forum needs at lest one of youz... what eva youz are.
