  1. It's a scam and not a 7753 or swiss. It's a A7750. Run.
  2. looking as well. Please PM me if anyone has a dwo or can provide a scan of one. Thanks!
  3. Nice Choice! the Lamania is wonderful and the crystal and band look great. I would freeze the 6oclock and where her with pride. Wish they would make a new superrep of this one.
  4. TAPCO in Rockford, IL. I bought 2. They are professional grade taps, super hard with very tight tolerance. I decided if I was going to buy one it my as well be a good one. I would be willing to trade one for another DW pusher.
  5. OK I found the tap and successfully threaded the hole. When I went to install the pusher I broke the stem screw that holds the button. Anyone have a spare screw in stainless steel Daytona pusher they would like to get rid of? PM me and thanks!
  6. I am still looking to get this done. Can someone suggest a person here that would be willing to tap this for me?
  7. I bought a Rolex GMT II case from another m2m. During assembly I cracked the crystal. I measured the crystal and it appears to be 30.0mm diameter which seems like an odd size from what I found on the forum. Can anyone help me with a replacement, Clark, or other listing for this?
  8. I would like to fit DW pushers in a Daytona cartel case. Currently the pushers are press fit so I need to tap the hole to accommodate the DW's. The tap size is the same used for a Rolex 5.3mm case tube and is M2.5 x 0.25. Where can I get this tap? I know ofrei has it but it is really expensive for a tap. Anyone have a reasonable source for these taps or a spare they would want to sell, borrow, or rent me? Maybe a kind sole could tap it for me? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
  9. I would like to fit DW pushers in a Daytona cartel case. Currently the pushers are press fit so I need to tap the hole to accommodate the DW's. The tap size is M2.5 x 0.25 as I read from the posts. Where do we get this tap? I see I can buy it from ofrei for 5.3mm rolex crown tube replacement but it is really expensive for a tap. (I have checked Grainger but they do not have the 0.25 pitch thread taps). Any one have a reasonable source for these taps or a spare they would want to sell, borrow, or rent me? Maybe a kind sole could tap it for me? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
  10. Hi all. I need some advice. I was planning to build a 7928 using the JMB method of decal dial and a cartel rolex but after more forum reading I found that Angus has a 1680 based 7928. http://puretimewatch...ume-dial-a21j/. This watch is very close to what I wanted to build. Seems to be a heck of a lot easier than trying to decal a dial on a donor watch. Now my thought is to just buy this one and make it more vintage. I am no rolley WIS so I can live with some minor flaws. What I am really after is a piece that looks its age that was really worn a lot but was also polished and buffed very often and obviously very loved. This would be my plan on ageing: - iodine Bake lume/hands - lightly bleach insert - scuff crystal, then polish out so deep scratches are still noticeable but plex is shiny again - scotchbrite rehault - scotchbrite other polished case parts as needed - 80 grit sandpaper on caseback then mirror polish My goal is to keep the total cost under $200 but I am willing to buy a few extra parts to make this look right. What do you guys think? Should I go with the Angus 7928? Is there any must do's to this base watch to make it more accurate (crystal, CG, crown)? Will my plan for ageing work? What else for ageing do you all suggest? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
  11. Hi, I can do the swap for you. I have done it many times and I have professional tools. I can order the movement for you from AJOESMITH as well if you like or you can just send me everything. Cost: $60 - $100 depending watch condition. I am in Minnesota
  12. Well I guess that is one way to do it…buy both! Congrats they are both beautiful.
