26mm dial? if so it would fit into a puretime 1680 2846 beat rep.

I purchased mine from puretime and for a friend i ordered one from trusty the trusty had a better AR tone than the puretime we fitted both with a thick mesh bracelet using the reps buckle

Actualy the new TT looks more like a fake with cheap looking finishes, the old blue TT has rich luster i used to own a noob TT and i want to replace it but only with the older version none ceramic sub !

Taking a quote out of that classic cary grant film north by northwest ,this problem can be best disposed of from a great height skydweller ? throw it out of an aeroplane ! apologies to anyone who likes this watch . whats the point indeed !

I could have written this myself word for word ! i would prefer to wear a replica vintage sub than any of those bulky gens dials,markers, cases and so on, the classic sea dweller is the most perfect proportions and dare i say slightly better that a same period submariner (just my own thoughts there no offence i love the older 5513s) i ordered one of the first gmt oversized reps sold it soon after it just looked dull next to the classic none ceramic subs i dont even like the later maxi dials the vintage subs had perfect sized markers and case size and a real cool presence on the wrist .long live the vintage submariner and pepsi gmts and no crownguard subs and vintage tudor subs!

This watch is one of those reps that is very hard to believe its a replica the finish weight and look of the watch is super and being someone that has tried on a gen ploprof i saw no difference between the two (to the naked eye) and i was thinking that the owner payed over 5000 euros for it ! omega reps have had for a while now very high quality finish and weight even with low cost 21js rolex reps were lagging behind a little .

Anyone purchased the yuki (gen) crowns ? i want to replace my 5513 crown and tube what is the difference between version 1 and version 2 ? my 5513 is based on a mid 1960s -70s sub is the 702 the only best crown to fit ? thanks in advance!

strange i never had any problems with fitting i must have purchased from a different seller the tropic crystal i purchased was a perfect fit with a yuki insert! and was shipped fast .

I want a dial like that for sure, i dont have any other parts for the 1680 but i would purchase a dial like that and then build a watch around it!

What would be the cost of these dials? very nice looking!

I love that tropic dial ! details please what a super submariner !

Started off with this ultra rare swiss vintage watch ! Then finishing off the evening with this low cost 6538 !

How about a list of best suppliers for these hard to find parts i noticed a few members mention names of individuals supplying parts but can we have links or website names there are a few names im not familiar with thanks !

This watch i purchased in 1995 from a woman that had a box full of old watches that were left by her deceased husband who had a watch shop! the watch is a rumanel 17 jewel swiss made 20 microns gold plating and was one of two identical rumanel new old stock watches this watch cost me 50usd and is the slimmest watch i have ever owned its condition is mint no aging to the gold only some slight pitting on the dial i have not been able to find out much info about this watch i googled the name and only one rumanel watch came up a much more modern rumanel and have not been able to age the watch the woman told me it was over 50 years old in 1995 Here are some photos if anyone can help with more infomation please let me know ! Apologies if this is posted in the wrong section im not sure where to post it!

Hi fredfree i have delt with this seller many times the items are made for gen watches so the fit should be ok as for aftermarket items is the next best thing from gen parts and his prices are very fair and he accepts returns if not satified i like his inserts !

We should stop nit picking these factory replicas and enjoy the watches for what they are they are a cheap alternative to the over inflated gen prices as i have said in other posts our hobbie is getting too serious its a great looking watch and the chances that a person will bump into you who is a gen expert and will carry on him a lobe and examine your watch is pretty remote even an expert will be hard pushed to notice the differences of a watch on your wrist these watches can be modded dials swopped upgaded movements and so on , factory replicas are getting better and better but these watches are made in china (and very well made) and at a fraction of the price but they are made by another factory not by rolex so each factory will have there own way of replicating the watch and another way of constructing each individial items coupled with the factories cost saving policy of using the same parts for similar models resulting in wrong case/bracelet numbers and so on enjoy your watch and always read the excellent posts on RWG for choosing and modding your watch and there is nothing wrong with wearing your watch right out of the box!

Because i swopped bracelets today i put it on my wrist and its stayed there all day ! i love the weekend ! I need a insert pearl !

I will do this one is my first time ageing a dial i here are the merc hands aged too .

Thanks Rymeister! different colour tones can be made using different laquer tints and technics im thinking of ordering a number of dials from raffletime and experiment they cost between 19usd and 38usd

I defected today to a soviet! 200m vostok amphibian military submariner from the 70s and its still water proof check out that backcase gasket! sadly i might have to let it go to finance a new project!

Its not a puretime 1680 the bezel flutes dont go that close to the insert on the pt. its looks like a 29mm dial the pt watch is 26mm here are the puretime 1680s one of the 1680s was converted to a 5513 And the left over dial became a victim of my experiment i put it in the oven 20min at 200c here is the too shiny pt dial before the oven abuse and here after the oven violation the 200c heat was too high and bubbled up the dial slighty so next time i will use less heat! notice that the markers shine has all gone and see the unexpected guilt colour to the white printing dial then sprayed with mahogany laquer then as the dial was tack drying i rubbed it with dusty fingers this removed the gloss from the laquer and gave an aged look I posted this experiment some time back, if you are building a budget watch then using the factory dial is an option

Well it well ! super watch!

well done i want to see more sterile projects featured on rwg they are replicas too of the gens ok they call them homage watches but these are (legal) replicas no trademark issues no customs issues and may well be the way to the future i bend both ways sterile and outright replicas very nice build ruhelena(helenarou has the 5517 dial superlumed with all rolex /logos and markings at 29mm size he does not advertise it only steriles i purchased a 6538 bond dial with all markings

i used the puretime 1680 watch with 2846 movement i found the case and bracelet well made and the crown guards can be reshaped just change the dial,crystal and this watch is rare that it fits a 26mm dial most reps 5513/1680 are more like 29mm and at 200usd you get a case,bracelet,and slow beat movement! check it out on puretime redsubmariner! Check out my content to see my post of the 1680 photos taken with a 1965 gen sub!
