They opened a gen band a couple of weeks ago and closed it as it didn´t came with a clasp and has nothing saying Rolex on it.
But the dial and the band with clasp now saying rolex in different ways and I guess the value on the declaration is not saying everything over 20$

I think there are always two things to keep in mind:
1. The right watch, maybe there is on you always look at if you pass by a juwelier or you saw on TV or on another person.
For me it was always the standart Submariner and even having one right now it is still the one I am looking at doing
windowshopping
2. The right dealer, especially for the first order it is very important to make it an overall nice expirence.
Just my 2 cents
Hi!
I might need to change the datewheel (not just the overlay) on two of my 2824s.
Does anyone of you have hint or a pic for my on how to do that?
Looking forward to your posts...
Get the Explorer, the milgauss is to big and everyone thinks its a fake DateJust (don´t know why, maybe thats the only watch they know).
I got one with no wristtime at all...
Really nice thread!!
To give it a even wide overview, let me add these pics:
Upper left: Yuki 1680 Insert (shaped it a bit to fit nicer)
Upper right: WSO990 with modded pearl (drilled out, widend and filled again)
Down: New MBW from a 1680 (no mods)
Pics can not be compared with yours, but I am not a big photoguy :-(
Hi!
Thanks for your info.
Actually I did it just like you, I only had to cut it 4 times as I was a bit more of a coward
But in the end it worked very smooth.
After being such a McGyver I even mounted the movement in the yuki case with some Rodico as a movement holder and it also worked like a charm.
worst part was placing the hands, as always.
Now I am only waiting for the datedisc overlay and the spacer and will do the whole stuff again, but on the other hand I could wear the watch on the weekend (with the date 2 mm aside :-( )
And guess what the movement is keeping time perfectly OTB
I have a MBW 1680 with a 2824 here, so the stem lenght might be the same...
This is going to cost me a lot of my weekend, as always, hope there is a good movie on this evening for Mrs. Gorilla
Good morning!
I just received one of the last parts for my Yuki 1680, a fresh ETA 2824-2 movement from switzerland.
First thing was to mount the Tudor rotor and it looks fantastic ;-)
But as I am not a big fan of try and error on this project I would ask you how long your 1680 stemps are and how you shorten them.
Thank you very much for your help in advance...
