  1. I had considered adding a pricing breakdown, but those figures tend to flux and are in no way static. I would hate to set a certain expectation only to have those figures become outdated or inaccurate...
  2. That's pretty cool... Dial has tons of character! Any chance you can obtain a replacement plexy?
  3. Whoa... That is NICE, K! I dig it!
  4. Not surprising chinkiechunkie is quite the gent... A class act individual and an asset to the forum. Well done!
  5. Unlike someone else we know, ROBERT? I have to agree with the excellent service from King and By-Tor's awesome reviews! Congrats on a great piece, DT!
  6. I dunno. If the seller happened to be the same individual that the watch was originally issued to for active service, I wouldn't have a problem with no papers/docs. That would be enough provenance for me. Same would go for a 5517.
  7. You know... At the time, I think it was just too big. Too much shiney metal and the sort. I think that's why the only Breit in my collection that's stayed for any real duration is the Blacksteel. It's big, but not too ostentatious for me. Especially when I have it on a G10. Oh, that and also probably because it was a 'lite'. But the SFSO is a great watch, no doubt.
  8. Very interesting! Might you have some pics of this one, automatico? Would love to see it!
  9. Just got home and looking through a couple of my notes for curiosity's sake... Last listed MN with papers/docs I noted was $14k retail/consumer price. Last unlisted MN no papers/docs sold at
  10. Mid size seems to fit perfect! Not too small... Not too big for a ladies' wrist. Very nice!
  11. I would advise to leave it alone. If you are not familiar with this procedure, you stand to risk more harm than good. +15sec/day is not terribly bad. If the watch is new, you may even notice that it will settle out a bit according to your wearing habits and how you position it over night.
  12. As requested- Some old build pics of the initial stages of an El Primero based 16520: Case and movement: Aftermarket dial fitted to the movement: Test fit to make sure everything lines up: Date mech removal: Setting hands: All together: Add a gen dial: and fin: Current day:
  13. Movement options for the 6263 were listed in the building section... And the thin case variation is mentioned as well. I'll see what I can dig up for in prog build pics for the EP's...
  14. f333- If there's anything that you'd like to add... I'd appreciate it I went mostly off of memory, so I am sure there are spots that are lacking.
  15. Hmmm... Last MN I saw for sale was $5100 and that was roughly 4 wks ago. So, more than $5k, sure. $100 more. But that was not a retail price. No paps either... Folks are selling in this market... And at good prices if you know the right people...
  16. Probably the case set from Marble...
  17. Looks like MW's/TOWS collection. He posted a pic of one of his closets jammed full of boxes- Each shelf was like 6 across, 6 high and 4 deep. He then went on to say that each box had a corresponding watch to go with it, and that was just part of his collection...
  18. I usually find stuff like this to be too busy, but I really think this is an interesting, creative piece; especially the seconds at 3:00. I like it...
  19. Some comparison shots... CWP dial: Now compare the lume: Gen lume: Gen lume:
