  1. I have seen people ask but it has never really been answered. Is it possible to purchase a yukiwatch 1680 that is made for a rolex movement and put an eta with a spacer in it? I know the crown position is high but I thought it might be possible to get a thinner eta movement and make it work.

    I have been ask this question to yuki.

    She said it is possible to do something.

    They will go to product the converter for ETA 2824-2 can fit for rolex 1570 movement case.

  2. The point is yuki must cheaper than NDT.

    Same project purchase from NDT will double cost.

    Beautiful... All of the above.

    As someone just getting into the Daytona's please forgive theses 2 noob questions:

    1.) DW? Short for? I see DW always come up in reference to the "better" Daytona's.

    2.) I get the impression Yuki has surpassed NDT in terms of the place to go. True/False?

    Thanks, and again, beautiful OP and all. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

  3. For sure WM has the best but with 75euro shipping costs to France, seems not a good deal for 1 or 2 pearls or insert.

    Where do you, EU guys, oder your peal and insert for Sub and SD ?

    Cheers

    Btw: if you have some WM pearls laying around wherever you are you can PM me...

    yuki have some pearl dot but only for 1680 , 5513 , 1665.

  4. If Yuki can have a bigger selection of cases/dials and other parts like NDT/J&W, I will be more than happy to make deals with him since we both are located in the same region which makes quality issues resolution much easier.

    yuki told me, they will have 6542 GMT case and 1675 point guard case soon.

  5. My case only USD 450.00. Include tube, bezel and crystal.

    mod 1570 movement to GMT movement is USD 160.00.

    Yuki said have to remove some part from movement to mod.

    I've just saw it's site... amazing! I want start a 1655 project too! so let me understand you mean 800$ for a full watch including a gen movement?? how it can be possible?

  6. Thank you, yrs 1655 look so NICE~

    yr CG side is look good.

    yup,yuki provide two kind of case.

    One is like my case, another one is expensive more and look better.

    But it is out of my budget for this project.

    Sure, I will go to find another hand set to improve my watch.

    thank you~

    Congrats! It is a good decision to go for the Steve McQueen 1655. It is simply so classic and differs from the other traditional Rolex sport models.

    The only thing I see in your 1655 is perhaps the case is marginally too big particularly at the CG side. Further improvements on the hands/dials will make this watch perfect. Still, enjoy your classic 1655.

    Just to share with you , this is what I have built. Same powered by the beautiful 1575.

  7. I've decided to build a 1655 project

    I want a vintage 1655 that looks and feels authentic and looks and feels like it is old and antique.

    I wanted a case that could fit a gen Rolex movement, And I found Yuki. His service is excellent and helpful.

    I have ordered a complete case set, with 1655 dial and hands.

    yuki also help me to modify 1570 movement become GMT 24 hour movement.

  8. I agree on Freddy's ideas on SpinMaster's modified 7750... it truly is a great deal, without the huge spend and headache of finding all the parts. He services them all as well, he's posted pictures, so that makes it an even better deal. No need to worry about a poorly serviced and lubricated movement :tu: I think he services the Singapore members watches, so we know it's not just talk... For those of us already on the way towards a V72 powered 6263/5, it's not so easy :bangin:

    And there's a guy in Israel who sells, in official unopened packaging, for $650 per pusher :black_eye:

    Let see here is V72 for 6263/5
