  1. having read all your comments, guess i have pulled the wrong trigger.

    i should just get a mbk 1665 and not a pt 1665.

    so for a mbk 1665, i suppose right now can only get from rolexfinder ya?

    are these the newer mbk case that can accept genuine movement or even the slower eta from the pt1665?

    what you think of this combo now?

    get the mbk 1665 and pt1665, only use the movement from pt1665 and drop it into the mbk.

    or just get phong case and yuki's dial now.

    will the datewheel have any alignment problem both both?

    also total cost would be around usd220 + usd 480 = usd700

    any brothers here have done this attempt?

    also who can i trust to have this swap assignment?

    thanks for all valuable inputs.

  2. hi all,

    is it better to get in your best opinion to get from:

    1. PT 1665 white and change to MBK dial

    will the new MBK dial date window not align and fit the slower eta from PT?

    or

    2. MBK 1665 white and swap with a slower eta

    will the PT slower eta fit into the MBK case?

    i do not wish to invest on a gen 1570 yet I want to have the best budget 1665

    appreciate fellow gurus to comment.

    thanks

  3. The bezel has all the markers. I didn't even notice it on the QC pics. So what I suspect turn to be right. The watch that has been sent is not the same than the one on the pics.

    yes.i enquired about the photos he sent are actually meant for his adv and not the real watch he will be sending.

    he got upset and said i dont trust him at all. after that no reply after.

    i have to be more conservative about his purchase now.

  4. the date wheel is off or was it the angle?

    EZ qc getting bad to worse..

    Thanks very much G. I really like it a lot. Mine is off to get the lume job as well as a movement service and have the HEV valve epoxied shut. It will probably be away for a few weeks, but it should be about as nice as you can make one of these when it gets finished.

  5. i understand that other than etz, d4m also sell the v5 with the best hand picked quality and price.

    am i correct about this?

    is yes, can anyone pm me how to contact d4m direct?

    thanks

    It's not unheard of 'lanikai' that replioa store owners will sell lock, stock, and barrel to other entities in a 'turn key' deal. The new owners maintain the 'store front' as to avoid the process of being 'sussed out' as verified collectors.

    I will maintain to this day 'Paul' of the old aBay eShop.com had gone this route. He went from gold to tin over night. The 'Chris' I observed early on in the ETZ experience does not seem to be operating to the same level. As you, I think something is going on. Like they say; "If you think your wife is cheating? Then she probably is."

    A few weeks back I made a bold offhand remark with regard. I was going on a hunch and regretted the statement as I had no real proof other than the remarks of the membership. Which speaks volumes. I've never bought from ETZ, and don't buy the 'If you never bought from 'TTK', then why don't you just shut your mouth with regard?" bit. That's not how RWG works. 'Once bitten, twice shy' ? No. Never get bitten. If you use RWG to it's design. Avoiding the bite is child's play.

    See what happens.

    Great thread BTW.

  6. i had very unpleasant experience with them that lasted a good 9weeks.

    i do not know about the good sides but i see more bad than good.

    well, that was my first purchase for a rep after knowing how close their v5 is and that was also my first rep.

    now i really do not have much confidence putting my funds for a rep.

    my 2 cents : )

  7. Very very nice! Tell me more about the 5513 :thumbsupsmileyanim: Or is it a 5512? Isn't the meters first dial a 5512?

    the red 1680 is using gen swiss 2836 with silver date wheel.

    double red is just direct from factory with asian movement.

    the 5513 i got it direct from:

    http://www.timeshops.net/RO2144_-_Rolex_Oyster_Perpetual_Vintage_Edit_SS_-_Swiss_ETA_2836-2_2725-4692.htm

    looking to sell all 3 but I cant as i still do not have enough post.

    really hope moderators can help.

    thanks

  8. mine is a genuine swiss ETA movement with silver date wheel.

    when i first got hold of the watch (new), i have tighten the case back but water still gets in.

    i send the watch to my regular watch smith and he told me the crystal got some crack which i could not see from my naked eye.

    he nevertheless proceed to change the crystal for me but the same problem surface again.

    i understand the fun part is to diy myself.

    but this is really my 1st attempt and i do not wish to make matter worse.

    i hope to have the dial vintaged, cg trimmed, crown change and get a clark crystal.

    anyone can do all these at one gp?

    spin master in Singapore? how can i get hold of him? thanks
