redwatch

+1 - love the DJ and the lume is quite nice on it too! It's a very, very comfortable watch I was surprised as well after I got mine. I didn't even realize there were lume dots on my stick dial until after I took some macro's of it.

Wow! I love that green watch box!!! Not to mention the watches in it! Who's the proud owner of that collection and what sort of watch box is that? Looks like you guys had a great time! Looking forward to seeing more pics!

Think it's a Datejust kind of Monday

Awesome watch! Love the Daytona's! Nice choice

Yes please do! I would love to see some more pics of that beauty!

Looking good cc! When are we going to have another SoCal GTG? A little Peruvian food and Cusquena Beer?

Pearl looks good to me as well. I didn't realize that the M-Serial number WM9v2's had such great engraving? It looks like it lines up quite nicely and the engraving looks really good too! I'd say you got yourself a nice sub there

Hmmmm.....so since i posted this, his "Last Active" status has been changed to private?

Wow so that's the super secret project you've had in the works! Looking great R!!!

+1 - no loctite near the movement. Not a good combo at all. It should press fit in fine. A crystal press will probably work nicely, just be careful not to bend the rotor piece. You might want to push the bearing down in towards the backside of the rotor if you are going to use a press.

Thanks to you and your contributions! All the best and I hope we see you around in the future

Definitely high end rep, vs gen for me. I absolutely love my Tudor. Granted it's mostly gen, but the community build was inspiring to me and this watch holds way more value than it ever would if I just went out and bought a gen Tudor 9411. For sure I would have sold it already just because I would have probably gotten bored with it! A built franken, or modded rep has a history behind it. The frustration of waiting for parts. The elation at finding something you never thought you would find. The exasperation at finding out something won't work after a long search. All of these things create a history, or a bond, with the watch that you will never, ever, ever have with a gen. Sure, finding that super sweet vintage rollie and getting a good deal on it is a great feeling I'm sure, but it will never beat the feeling of completing a Franken watch and unveiling it to the rest of the community That is an incredible feeling to me. Additionally, being part of helping someone else with their Franken project is also an amazing feeling, but that's not what we're talking about at the moment

Amazing work RA! Please keep us informed of your progress!

Yup - April 20th. Which is well after one of many PM's sent to him. Weird huh?

Anyone?

Surprising that the rehaut engraving lines up quite nicely on this one! May not be the best engraving/etching job, but at least it's in the right spot! Nice little piece you got there! I wonder if there are any suitable dial swap options for this model?

That's really too bad, but not all that surprising, that the dealers stopped selling that particular case. It really does look pretty great! Can't wait to see more from RolexAddict - especially if these are going to be made available for purchase

Looking good! I love the HKTan strap! Nice choice

Maybe Nanuq can do one of his vintage treatments on it before HKTan makes a strap out of it.

Love the AirKing J! Looking good! Tudor Thursday:

Wow doc! That looks amazing! This is a product offering from RolexAddict?

Hey folks, Just curious if anyone's heard from or been in touch with Halo Archive? I sent him a watch several months ago to check out, and he still has yet to buy it or return it. Believe me, I am in no way worried about the watch or the money. I just hope he's ok? I've PM'd him several times but nothing.

I have seen some weirdness too. To test it I thought I would send you a PM. This is what came up when I hit "Send Me A Message"

Super combo R! I like it a lot!
