As far as I know these are the best with no further mods really required and have out of box quality:

IWC mark xvi

IWC vintage Ingy laureus

Bell and Ross digi analogue

Ebel 1911 panda chrono

Omega planet ocean without happy feet version.

Anything else to add?

The dial logo positioning looks very off to me.

Does anyone know if the TC crown tube would work on the USD?

It should be the same 703 crown no?

Yikes, that sucks.

Ah so it has a weak bezel ring? I wonder if it will take an aftermarket replacement?

If that is the case getting a real bezel remover is probably the safest way.

Still waiting for it, but is there something special about the bezel on the ultimate that is different from other Rolex reps?

Very easy to remove the bezel but do it carefully and with a towel underneath to catch any flying parts like the click spring. Just use a butter knife wrapped in a microfiber towel or a plastic knife or spoon. Use force but don't warp the bezel itself.

Has anyone been able to get Texski to reply back?

I guess he must be very busy. I emailed him twice about an existing project and haven't heard back for about 1.5 weeks?

The case doesn't have enough CG metal but a lot of real gens do not anymore because they've been overpolished. You can definitely grind it down a bit and make it more gen.

The watch came with horrible orange colored markers, need to fix that.

Does anyone know if Yuki Tudor caseback would fit this one?

Now, I'm not 100% sure if the dial would fit the case or the movement. Do you guys think this should all fit together?

Thanks!

I will say eventually, he has always come through.

Its not just the mag cover it seems.

Hmm I think it's different, especially since it now has the mag cover that the previous one that was reviewed didn't.

Apparently this is a better version than the one recently reviewed here.

I asked Trusty but he has no idea if this will take the gen dial, gen crown, or a Swiss 2892. Any ideas?

Okay thanks guys, so he is basically a sometimes good maker of fake parts?

I sometimes see parts listed as having Yuki parts for both Rolex and Tudor, especially vintage. Is Yuki just a really good part maker?

Sorry who is KB or Bergie?

Where can I find a decent one of any of the above?

Looking to spend under $300 but hope for decent enough quality.

Thanks!

Hmm with a gen Mark XVI dial, datewheel, and hands... how close is this?

Interesting but how did you get the gen tachy to fit?

I think its very trivial to not click on a thread started by concepta if it offends you that much.

Either way, I do agree this forum has definitely declined.

Well I think that's an issues with any gen hands used to fit on an asian movement. Its common for all those mods.

How about TWB? The watch boys?

I've had some bad luck with one of my concepta watches... really bad luck...

But I will say he has been coming through for me.

Keep in mind, this isn't his full time job and its more of a hobby.

I know for me, hobbies take second place to what puts food on my table.
