I have a Noobfactory Rolex Explorer II with a CHS movement. I had Domi let service the movement, but like the smooth winding of a 2893-2 and gen like behaviour and would like to swap it into the Explorer. I know I need other hands and wonder if Watchmaterials has the right hands. He offers hands for a 2893-2, but will these (hands and movement) fit in the Explorer II? I won't do it myself, but will send it to Domi. Does he need other parts to let this run like a champ?

I think I know one of the fine watches in your collection. Thanks for sharing, it is a great collection.

Hi there,

Could be, but I think you mean the very nice SSD, but it's not on the pictures (but in another watchbox in my drawer.

Thank you all for the compliments.

Sorry for my lousy pictures, but finally I have all the BK's I ever wanted.

A Submariner Ceramic with single sided AR and new lume by FineDD.

A PBdad modded BK DSSD (the full package).

A Submariner V2 with a gen insert, crown and crystal and an ETA 2892-2 movement.

A Submariner LV V3 with a gen crown and Noobfactory bracelet.

A BK Transformer GMT-Master II with a gen Pepsi insert and a ETA 2893-2 movement.

An old style CHS Noobfactory Explorer II.

(sorry about the hair).

I recently bought a Explorer II with a black dial, but want to swap into a white dial and black hands. Any advise where to get the black ETA 2836-2 GMT hands set?

I have a WM9 Submariner V2 and let my watchmaker do some mods.

He installed a gen insert, crown, tube, crystal and dial. Because, I wanted the smoothest possible movement he swapped the original movement into a ETA 2892-2A. So far, so good.

The only issue he can't solve is the line up of the dates. They are too high, or too much to the left, or too much to the right. Just 1/3 of the dates lining up well. The rest not! He has used five different datewheel overlays. Some of them come from BK. It never was perfect. In the meanwhile I have put some serious amount of money in it and I hate it not lining up.

Now I am hopeless and plan to do a movement swap again (into a 2824-2) and put the original WM9 V2 dial on it again. Or just sell the whole bunch.

What is best to do? Is there a date lining up artist in EU to which I can send it?

Thanks for your advice.

I have a nice GMT-LN with a gen green DWO and it looks great. I think this watch deserves a 2893-2 movement. Only question is where to source a green GMT hand which fits the movement and a corresponding dial. Asked several of my regular suppliers, but noone seems to be able to source them. Any advise of a fellow member is very welcome.

I have a GMT LN and would like to swap the bracelet from a Submariner Ceramic. I have read the cases are the same, will the bracelet fit without mods?

I want a SS bracelet for my Cartier Santos 100. Any suggestions where to buy a nice one?

I would like to swap the dial on my DSSD into a Pro-Hunter dial and bought one from Kuvarwatch, but that one is a no go (no sharp font). Is there any dealer who sells the Pro-Hunter dials?

Length is the same.

I have a WM9 V2 which was modded with gen crown, dial, crystal and insert. Tube is from Clarks. It's the watch FxrAndy is talking about. It's awesome and my daily beater. So, look for a WM9 V2 and you will like it.

I am after a Milgauss white face and asked around. Some member made the suggestion buying it from watchmaker9.de.

I don't know this site and don't know if it's trusted. Can I buy with confidence, or should I pass this one. Please, your advise would be welcomed.

I want a 93250 bracelet.

I have a WM9 Submariner V2 and since a few days the date changes at 0:00 too much. From 5th to 6 th December, it slips towards the 7th. 23 hours later date starts to change again to 7. Then it lines up well. After 24 hours date changes from 7 towards 9 etc etc.

I suppose it's a minor issue. Please, your advise would be great. Is there a tutorial how to do this? Or better send it to Domi?

Hi, I have a Datejust II with a 2824-2 movement. I am not sure if it's an Asian or a Swiss. The movement runs well, but has a issue at 0.00. It changes dates only halfway. It changes totally at 9.AM.

I am considering to have it serviced or to buy a gen Swiss 2824-2 movement and then swap it, but, maybe that is a little bit exagerated.

Please, give me some advice :service or swap?

I have a smurf Sub with Swiss ETA and want to rebuild it to a regular new Sub. So I have to transfer the dial and insert. Any suggestions where to buy?

I have a BK Transformer and would like to add a gen dial. Will that fit? Which adaptations must be made?

What I can say ? Fantastic !!! Any problem to receive it in Europe ?

Got one too. Shipment to Europe works fine.

Good luck.

Found the BK Transformer in mint condition!

Since the Noobfactory stopped production of their GMT Master II 16710 (and therefore BK doesn't have any chance to mod one) I am looking for the second best. Who can deliver that one? Or has every forumdealer the same watch?

I am planning to replace a A7750 into a genuine Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750, but I am not sure if this one is a genuine one.

Please, your advise.

Thanks.

Awesome! On top on my wish-list. Wear it in good health.

Surfing on the net, sometimes deliver nice info.

I have a gen 16750 with a jubilee bracelet and 550 endlinks. Should fit.

I have a modded V5 DSSD, it's very nice and wears great, but I hate the distortion of the original crystal and I want to replace it after it is double AR-ed. I know, I know it's not what has been done to the gen, but the looks are great.

Who has the best crystal for a DSSD (= less distortion) for sale?
