Mil gracias Amigo. I was about to spend some money on ridiculous essentials. Now I'll just wait for the noob FFs. Are they still on track for Autumn?

I'm a big fan of your no CG projects Mellons. Always awe-inspiring to see your build journey! Thanks for sharing.

SD, Excellent work! 1 x 201/A non-matching for me please.

Vintage Daytona fan checking in: My Spin/DW 6263... I'll eventually get around to replacing the bezel with the NY one.

Wow.

Whoopy, these look great! How does one get on the signup list?

Mystere could you please tell us more about your dial?

Try contacting Bonesey at RWI.

Very nice builds!

Always enjoy your attention to detail Mr. w0lf!

Cool pair! I've always wanted these. Are the lugs on both models similar? The lugs on the 24 somehow looks longer in this pic.

Inspiring!

H or N fact should tweak the 305 rep, add faux vintage lume, closed caseback, PVD, and we get a good rep of the Submersible Ceramica PAM 508. At least you'd be able to get it wet. OT: A friend of mine recently got his gen 312 serviced and after PASC returned it, he asked if they gave it a pressure test to ensure it is still waterproof to 300M. They said something to the effect that you shouldn't really go diving with it. I guess we all already knew that. I told him to buy reps instead.

Very jealous. This is definitely one of the projects I want to do.

That's really nice. I've always wanted a 305.

Congratulations to the 4 lucky guys who picked up the proto cases. Can't wait to see what you do with those! Looking forward to the production run HH! Saving my pennies everyday for this!

It's refreshing to see a watch that's neither an H or Noob (they are of course amazing). Wear it well. Now get a V3!

Thread resurrection. This is a real beauty not seen very often. Were there any updates to the rep version from 2006? I realize the 243 is a great rep. However, I'm partial to the older models.

That sir, is a beauty. Congratulations!

Thanks for the tips p153! I asked because when I did a search for 9315's at the VRF sales section I saw a lot of the circa 2008 posts for the NOS bracelets for which the consensus, IIRC, were reps.

Need some help from the experts please. There's a 9315 posted for sale on VRF (posted Feb 3) with the correct(?) "PATETED" stamping and 380 endlinks. I read somewhere that there have been a slew of 'NOS' 9135's on the market which are most likely reps. I'm contemplating purchasing this to complete my early 70's 5513 (gen). Can the experts please chime in if this bracelet is the real deal? Any insight on reasonable pricing would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance.

+1 for Spin. Here's mine with the usual crystal/crown upgrade which he offers.

Beautiful pieces Miles. Hoping to focus on my vintage projects in 2013.

That is sweet! A true Team effort! Congratulations!
