  1. Let me get this straight: Explorers, Daytonas and now a Tudor I want to take off of your hands all within a few months? Amazing run for you. FWIW, there was a sales thread on TRF a couple of days ago and the chap has a few T-128's for $150 each. Obviously, you can get one cheaper than that from the right connection at AD or watchmaker.
  2. For what it is worth, the seller is a member of this forum (yachtmaster) and I've had positive dealings with him in the past.
  3. I would like to take credit for the dial, but it was SpinMaster. I did the hard part of snapping on the gen crystal.... I'm logicating on how to properly beat the case into reasonability.
  4. Beveled edge 21 makes it sparkle. I'm in love with the dial so don't tell me it looks bad.
  5. Combo that with the crayola dial posted a week ago or so and you'd really have something.
  6. He's been an "Omega Ambassador" for a couple of years and I got his autograph at a while ago and he had the moon speedy on then.
  7. A reasonably cheap (and I think decent) 1675 can be had from Josh's new 1655 case + tropic 116 and a decent gen bezel assembly and insert and 5.3 mm crown.
  8. To be fair, it did take some time to create such a masterpiece. That time is worth something.
  9. That thing has been for sale several times in the past few months. Of course, this is assuming that no more than one such abortion of a dial exists in the world.
  10. 24-600-0 crown and 24-602 tube fit the Josh case without any retapping, etc for me.
  11. I've never had good luck on the bay.. All of them I ever tried ended up being the slightly smaller ended yuki like bars. However, I am tempted by that obscene price and have PM'ed you for seller info if you have it.
  12. I have a trusted seller on the vintage rolex market/forum that I've bought many sets of OEM 2mm bars from. He usually gives me 3 pairs of bars for $20 shipped. We're both in the CONUS, though. Not sure of your location. PM if interested in his contact info.
  13. I'm half tempted to send you cash to cover the transaction just so this thread will end.
  14. And you need to cut the guides on the endlinks and spread. At least in some cases. I think there are different batches.
  15. Each of the 7836 bracelets I've purchased (not from Mary) did not accept 2mm bars. Not sure if they are different batches or what.
  16. I've dremel'ed a couple of the bracelets/endlinks to accept gen bars. It is most definitely possible as I am wearing two examples of it working.
  17. If you like old school: Delmonico's. Plenty of reviews available on the net....
  18. Is there a particular reason you want to keep the existing movement (date wheel, etc)? New DGXXXX movements are only $15-$30 depending on where you look. Just looking at Ofrei (which is not where i would necessarily buy from) they have most of the common chinese movements for those price ranges.
