Which version is the superclone 3135 watches from puretime it looks good to me from there photo seems better than the asian 3135 clone (older one)

Buying a gen is very risky on line we have seen what can be created by us franken builders and some one who wants to rip someone off could do so not everyone is an expert and some sellers may not know that they are selling a fake, opening the back is no longer a sure way to prove its a gen ,even gens are now fitted with aftermarket dials inserts and so on , If the watch is fake but fitted with a gen movement, 1600 usd may not be a total loss, the movement if in good condition would still have a value at least with ebay you have the option to return the watch, now with these clone 3135 movement its even more dangerous to the none expert eye. A 5513 sub correctly stamped case and an aged dial and gen movement could be passed on to a seller not knowing its a fake and then resold a lot of buyers no nothing about vintage rolexes but buy them for an investment.

I used to have a 2813 seadweller 28,800 beats!

Is this movement the same version as the puretime superclones? sorry if this has already been answered!

Thank you Mr Ice! (joking) Nanuq!

I want to fit a 702 in my puretime redsub 1680 that has been modded to 5513! in a gen case only a gen crown and tube for sure in fact i would make it all gen but then again it may cost as much as a gen from ebay! im looking for a crown that looks close to the gen 5513/2 but in keeping with my low cost build !

Thats a gen,gen gen! the one thing that bugs me on my 5513 is the crown a 702 will make my watch desperately seeking! put out an APB !

How about a list on this tread of where to find 702s and there prices so jandw has them at 225usd ebay 300-400usd let hear of some more gen or reproduced !

Now thats a vintage Datona! Yes please!

i have send around a 100usd for parts my watchmaker friend ordered from him with no problems but that was on ebay over 3 days no reply.

Try ruhelena(henenarou) and rafflestime (ruffles) they are on ebay sell sterile cases too they also have there own sites (on raffletime site make sure that you are getting what you ordered) they have some photos of dials that dont match the description so email them to check. on ebay it should be ok.

im very happy with my ch2824 and ch2836-2 they run perfectly the 2836-2 has a very smooth sweep better that some of my swiss etas.

Thats a great deal! so silix sells cases for the 65? as i said mine was a trusty 6538 left for now the 2836-2 clone it work fine i got some slow beat etas for later mine cost around 250$ i think we shaved the bottom of the plexy too but then fitted a gen omega dome i dident like the dome that was on too much distortion the omega is flatter in the centre. i used 2mm rolex pins but it was tight getting them in because the tube part was 20mm its self.

Thats a super watch you have there! where did you get the dial from and case?

Hanx i have not had a reply from raffles yet, you said they were on vacation? have they sorted out your dial? im starting to get worried!

thanks to freddy so the 702 has dots and its the 700 that does not? i dont mind with or without !

I have seen this site before and forgot it they have a big selection of goodies!

Yes thats correct no dots thats what im looking for!

I think these crowns are overpriced i have been trying to find a 702 for my 5513 for over a year but 300 plus i want something around 50usd it just seems a lot for a rep build to me! we tried to narrow the cartel crown by shaving the inside a little in a taper but after i reshaped the cgs to look more like a 65 gen we had the crown still looks to wide! do we have any aftermarket/rep crowns? (narrow)

oops! sorry i posted the before photos by mistake! here are the after pics! Notice the springpin spacers to keep the 18mm strap central ,although on this watch i may try a 20mm strap

i would get a local jewlery engraver to do the wotk working with a photo of the bb crown but even a plain crown would be ok with me!

Hi davylloyd this case is the trusty 6202 the watch has changed a bit since, i have a post on this piece a little down the rolex pages (6538 budget build) i have changed the highdome crystal for a lower one and replaced the dial with a ruhelena high gloss one rebrushed case and beveled and polished the top of the lugs the trusty case has sharp edges , and redrilled the lugholes to take 2mm springpins my first 6538 build was a yukicased 1030 project this one i wanted to build to look new i have not done any patina (ageing) at all just thought it would be a change! here are some pics

If we could find the manufacturers or someone with some sort of contact mabe we could make a list of names wanting a 1570,1520 and have a special order made .there is a market for these movements this has been said already not only franken builders but gen owners im ready to sign the list now ( am i just dreaming) we built this world on dreams!

Hanx A black bay prototype here is a super case to use and make something classy bezel is totally different but totally cool! if i get the right dial i will build it with an eta 2824-2 and that sterile crown mabe get it engraved to look like the bay!

All great tips i used acylic laquer teak wood stain on my 6538 silver hands( experiment) they really look aged guilt effect we mounted them on thin wire or pins so that the mounting holes dont clog up and the tint was so light it dident change the colour of the lume that much i also sanded a silver handset until they turned brass then dipped them in water to help patina here are some pics of the laquer finish! I also did the whole (out of the box) dial until i decided on a ruhelena dial!
