  1. Why would you start boiling your 5k watch, seriously WHY?????
  2. +1 on this!!! Often there are about 2 pages and all the posts are just Emoticons like and nothing new. And the worst thing: the OP doesn
  3. Man you are on fire!! Where do you get the time to ride the Bike, make such watches and fixing my dial, do you sleep sometimes?? Keep up the gerat work!!!
  4. Most of the gen Forum users are just owning a gen and thinking of themselfes as superior, but they do not know anything about the history, the movement and the small little things that make the watch so disirable. I love RWG because the people know what they are talking about and not just spending money on the watch that is most expensiv. In one german forum there is a guy with a comex, a Paul N. and a DRSD, but I never read anything usefull from him. The only thing he is doing is posting pics from his watches to every thread and not even new ones, they are often the same. And He is over 3000 posts now.. Man I hate this behaviour!!! He should not be alowed to own even a Swatch...
  5. As I got one I can say it might look cheap with the caseback of, but the rest looks fantastic. It feels like a really expensive watch in every way. If you have the chance, then go for one...
  6. Crown looks excellent!! Give it a nice vintage look. I would be in for a group buy of pearls...
  7. Plus: there are only about 200 full spec Milsubs left, world wide!!!!!!
  8. +1 on the dial, I like the smooth old look of it... Great work!!!
  9. I guess such high value bids have other rules then the ones you bet 0,32
  10. Ha ha ha, all the gen forums are after that one: http://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=36352 http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=130394 So this will mark a new high IMHO. Let
  11. +1 I was near to buy one, but they all got little things that make you suspicious.
  12. Thank you! For me a nippel dial was a dial with solid hourmarkers and not printed on the dial... So there are trip-loc with that shape... ok , now I know...
  13. That´s what I tought too, doesn´t the nippel dial come out in the end 70s? I always thought the crowns with the bevelet edge on the case side(don´t know how to say it better) are twinlocks aka 702´s... But I am only an ambitious noob...so please correct me...
  14. You are right, maybe you should just let it go, it is too beaten up for you... maybe should send it far away... to germany for example...
  15. Yes it just doesn´t make sense to spend 400$ on the rep case, 130$ on the rep dial and hands, 100$ on a gen twinlock crown and 100$ on an ETA movement when you could find something like that out there. But I guess you have to have strings to pull to get such a beauty. Just to be curious: what are you going to do with it? Restoration, keeping it, selling it, use it for parts (hope not!!)
  16. damm!!! I am a bit raging around here right now... I have been looking around for a 5513 for quite a while, as it is a perfect gen vintage to start with: nice clean dial, replacment parts are still out there and it is not too expensive, but I never found one for this price. Otherwise I would have bought it. Really nice catch!!!!
  17. I have never been a big fan of the 5513 with the nipple dial, but with this vintage tritium color the watch looks just great! The 5513 is a perfect base to do a restauration on, as the basis is great and the main problem is dirt. This is a watch I would go for too... It got the old twinlock crown, the old clasp, the case is in good shape. Really nice watch... I would just clean it, look for a nicer inlay, softly reshape the case and you are good to go... big love... Just to make me totally blown away: how much did you pay for the 5513?
  18. Should also go fine with the 5514, right?
  19. Hi! I found a nice story about a Milsub which is actually on the Bay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rolex-Submariner-/140434318093?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item20b289a30d#ht_500wt_1154 Ok you will say those pics aren´t great and the price is too high for it, but take a look at this: http://www.network54.com/Forum/207593/message/1280754044/The+eBay+watch+-+Yes%21+It+IS+a+genuine+%26quot%3BMilSub%26quot%3B... Mike Wood verfying it as a gen, so let´s see where it ends up. I guess 60k... What´s your guess?
  20. Thank you!! Damm, mistake Phong for D. Wong , again
  21. Hi! looking for a nice case a found a seller on the bay selling sterile cases. IMHO they don
  22. I found myself falling in love with the no-date versions too this year. It is just a clean, nice look. My next project will be a 5513, I hope I will acieve something nearly looking as great as yours. they all look fantastic!!!
