  1. Parts for the 4digit RLXs hard to get as freddy said. Dealer can only try to get them at watch exhibitions...we could do this by ourselfs, too...

    He has the following parts in stock at the moment:

    SS Bracelet 93150

    SS Bracelet 78390

    Endlinks 580

    16613 insert in blue (3 pieces)

    116619 blue ceramic insert (1 piece)

    116619 blue dial (1 piece)

    16613 insert in black

    116509 Daytona Racing Dial (3 pieces)

    Also ordered a 16520 bezel today, waiting for pricing and delivery time

    Best, J

  2. ok - thanks for your input. you´re right, I should have been a little more precise.

    what I meant is something like that:

    1. e.g. Rolex Daytona 16520 bezel - xyz $/€...
    2. Sub Bracelet SS 93150 - xyz $/€...
    3. Dial 5513....

    So at the end of the day there will be a list of parts (hopefully with prices) - the most desired/required parts win the lottery. As I said before - I can not promise anything, I just can ask if they are sourceable, and for what price.

    A quick note - I am doing this just for the community. I will never act like a dealer, nor will I have a cent of profit on anything sourced. To collect parts for my own projects took a long time, and for some of them I had to pay a lot more than necessary (compared to what I paid today). I have also heard rumors, that RLX policies regarding the supply of parts will be more tightened in the future. Especially for small dealers that are no RLX service centers...but as said - just rumors, can´t clarify

  3. All,

    may I ask the question, what are the most interesting Rolex parts, or which ones are really hard to get? Inserts, Dials, cases?

    The reason why I ask is that I probably - and I say PROBABLY - have a possibility to source some parts.

    Please do not ask me at this moment if I can source parts for you - not at the moment. Since it was really hard to obtain the dealers confidence (took almost 2 years), I will not ask him twice a week if he can source me any parts. Maybe it is possible to purchase a small amount of the most desired parts in the future if the relationship to the dealer stays stable.

    I was able to purchase some crowns and inserts for my projects today, as well as a gen ceramic insert for the blue 116619 for a friend who is currently building a gen shark.

    Are you willing to list the parts here, as well as the usual market prices if you know them? So I can ask and compare if it would make sense to purchase from him in the future or not.

    Best, J

  4. Nice vintage tools!

    yeah - they were from my grandpa - received them from my father today, and there were all necessary tools like needles, groover and so on...

    got some red scotch-grain leather, green alligator, black/brow python and other other nice stuff..

    waiting for bad weather to start something :)
