Wanna take it off, but it doesn't work....

Ok

Where is my plane?

And is this website, which shall not be named, powered by the mossad? Or why is it so secret?

Yes, that makes sense to me now :-)

Maybe you can post a pic of it?

Best,J

Thanks Dizzy. I been looking at pics of reps and gens, and the reps are a lot thicker. Someone is going to try to fit a Genuine 4030 dial on the new(er) 7750 with el primero spacing for me. Hopefully this week. So thats a start.

I suspect that it won't fit into a case made for el primero, though. The El Primero 400 is only 6.5mm thick, while the 7750 is 7.9mm thick stock. With the added plates needed to move the gears, 9mm? (thats a guess).

So I can, if I'm lucky, find an old secs @ 6 daytona?

I suppose I could live with the thicker case, at the end of the day, all I want is a modern daytona that's not going to blow up.

I don't want to get in to too many details and get people excited in case it doesn't pan out, but I'm really trying to figure out how to get one made for myself, and if I can, there's no reason it should be the only one

Mate, this makes no sense for me, or maybe it's just my english.

What do you mean by: I been looking at pics of reps and gens, and the reps are a lot thicker. Someone is going to try to fit a Genuine 4030 dial on the new(er) 7750 with el primero spacing for me.

Do you mean that you put an old EP 16520 dial into a new 116520 case (secs@6) ? What is the sense behind that ( if I got you right)?

Best, J

TX- the screws on yours look really nice - may I ask you for your source and the exact model? There are floating a lot of different APs around, soman advice would be very nice. Owned the 15202 (real "Jumbo") from the group buy, but couldn't get used to the screws.

The pics above are not showing the Jumbo, it's the 15300 with second hand, normalm39mm size. Wears much bigger than other 39mm watches.

Looks superb. Best, J

Like it, too! But why is the pearl orange, and not green (white)?

Best,J

Mate, you are correct, and I thought the same. But: saw an invoice for a 16520 service dial today, from rolex itself. It says 11/1996, and it was a luminova dial. I thought so, because of the missing "T". The watch it was installed into, was from 1993. Had it into my hands, also the papers and the invoice. Was an official and certfied rolex service center here. Strange, or?

I would say one of the first luminovas - 1996/1997, T- series?

So now im asking you guys, what would he get for it?

Two to three years I would say ... Maybe less because of good behaviour...

Hmmmmm....

But not a rep case. These looks really

shitty...

If you want to go for a Mark, there is no way except gen case...

Lob-I am thinking about to get a spitfire since I saw yours - but then she (wife) will definately kill me...

Which of the dials do you want us to rate, mate?

Or do you mean daytona dials on ebay in general...?

Without words...:-)

Mark XVI project, powered by IWC, build by concepta...

Oh, and thanks for the tip - on all pics you can see the dark blue gator. Nearly black, but nice blue details in the sunlight.

I found this one in my strap box, it's from BOB (waccex), € 16 incl delivery. Looks good, not cheap.

Dear friends, thank you for your kind words. Try to take better pics during the WE, and before my wife kills me (because I have bought another watch, instead of collecting funds for our summer holidays, hehe...I guess I didn't tell her about my 16520 project...did I?)

Urbanshogun: I don't mind of course, but compared to picking one up from an AD, it was a steal. For details just ask Concepta. This one goes for €1.000+, but it is all gen!

For god's sake - a watch that slips under a cuff...if you ever wore an AP sec@12 you know what I mean.

Not too sporty, not too occassional not too small - just perfect! Thanks concepta, also for your perfect aftersales service! It's top!!!

So, here's one box,lume and the wristie.

Cheers,J

Thank you - I am considering a dark brown gator with white stitching. Or grain brown leather instead, because I will receive a black IWC rep strap in the next days.

Other strap suggestions?

Crappy, [censored]' iPhone pics, but no better ones available:

Brown or black strap?

Hmmmm.......

:-)

It came from sweden....
