  1. In Cyprus we are having sunny days warm in the sun but cold at night !! enjoying my 5513
  2. The Rep Factories should make a real 1-1 rep of the older Sd before repping the ceramic !!!! how hard can it be and why so many mistakes !!!! they have had a lot of time to do it !!!
  3. I like it but this new BB has lost its vintage look , at the same time giving a fresh clean look that will appeal to the modern sub fan as well slightly leaning towards the pellagos styling a little bit more ! I have not seen in the flesh a gen BB but i find my rep BB very had to get to grips with the so called big crown the ribbing needs a bit more bite i find my fingers slipping when winding the watch or screwing tight the crown i would have liked the crown to have been slightly bigger to match the big case !!!
  4. it just looks so wrong ! not my cup of tea !
  5. Strangely mine is nice and tight !!!!!
  6. Super Im glad i ain,t the only russian military sub owner these watches are tough as nails and have a charm of there own !!! here are my vintage military subs !!!! 200m amphibian vostok Now that is what i call a caseback seal !!! 1956 first factory russian automatic military watch still has some lume
  7. Many members here that could carry out this work i am sure you can find someone close to you also mabe a local watchmaker could do it providing he is rep friendly !
  8. Mod it into a fantasy watch new dial and oh yes take that damn sticker off the backcase and replace the crystal or try to remove the date mag ! that way you will have a cool watch that cost you next to nothing, a little bit of beveling on the case edges rafflestime has cheap dials and hands ! i see it as a snowflake sub !!
  9. My Tudor Collection is taking over my Rolex collection I now have more tudors than rolex Apologies if i put the same watch twice cant keep track of them !! Just Realised i dont have a tudor rose pointed crown sub ! Damn it !!!
  10. snowflake gens have eta movements i fitted a 2783 in my blue snowflake no date , 94110 is the no date and 9411 is the date sub my 2783 fitted ok with the gen spec tudor dial you should be ok although there may be some etas with slightly different dial feet i found
  11. It could be the angle of the photo dial looks good to me !
  12. The watch is not bad really ,well finished and does have a gen like feel in the flesh, but with the usual (rep) problems that go with this hobby my view is, ok gens are high priced and in my opinion not worth the money for a wrist watch, but with these rep prices pushing up to 400usd shipped with asian movement i expect a watch that actually works and in sound condition , and not have parts falling off, ok i dont expect it to go down to 200 mtr depths My BB looks super and working well now after my repair and service although it should not need such work when it is a brand new watch despite these problems the watch compares well to the gen even though there big price difference i would suggest owners with movement problems to drop in a gen 2824-2 ETA the watch deserves it !!!
  13. Switched over to this today ! another custom build
  14. Still wearing this while my BB is hibernating !
