Some shots of the SSD construction and modded with Gen Parts
Tribal replied to Tribal's topic in The Rolex Area
You must not look , I know it 93160 is the correct barcelet for the older SD's. SEL's 592 or 592B there are some differences in the SEL's.... Interesting is,will a 93160 will fit the rep,because there are also differences to the newer 93160A SEL's and bracelet -
Rolex MBW from Joshua? A dream come true?Yes!
Tribal replied to elprimerozen's topic in The Rolex Area
that is what Maria told me too,there are MBW copies out... From the Nautilus,some AP's etc.... Why not MBW rolex copies... The older ones where signed Singer on the backside of the Dials... Do you notice that the newer ones have no Singersigned and feets that fit the Eta? Also the dials are a bit different to the older MBW ones.. Think about this..... -

Man, you want to polish a Safir Glass good luck ; ) As I stated before you cant see the thickness of the rehaut because there is a gap on the bottom of the glass.. The Rehaut is slightly conical but you can't see it when the Glass is installed... Thats the reason for it... When the assembyl where more than on a modern MBW with glass with no gap the Rehaut thicknes woulb be more visible.. Do you understand...? -

I think it's the wrong bracelet on your watch must be a 93160 ! The shape of the SEL's must be flat and signed 592B Thats the rigght bracelet for a 96 SD! -
Wow Bobby, that's a nice comparsion I think the SSD is a damm nice watch there are only small differences to the real Deal. Only we all Freaks can spot them I think... Than for this great Pics and your time to do it... Your CG'S look damm good

Congrats to your nice purchase. Nothing beats a gen one...

Tribal replied to Tribal's topic in The Rolex Area
I think you can't sand a Safir glass. The crystal has a gap on the bottom like the Noob Crysrtal that's the reason why you can't see the rehaut brightness like on a Gen or MBW... Maybe a Glass with no gap and right bottom dimension will do this, but them you must shape the inner rehaut with a lathe to the dimensions of the glass. That would make the rehaut gap more visible,but then we need a new crystal gasket too..... Damm hard job I think... A full piece construction of the Crystal like on MBW where the best solution from factory..... -

Hello Gang Here are some shots of the case from the new SD Working HE Valve from the Inside.. Rehaut and Glas sealing Safir Glass 3,6mm thick Bezel with Gen Insert Modded CG's and drilled and countersink casehole Installed Gen Tube This is how it looks End Result -
@Tourby.. You are right about the bracelet,looks good but poor quality... Some screws are bend,Divers Extensions won't work correctly... I think the three piece construction of the SEL's are not correct one piece construction like the real deal where better.. Also the material is too soft.... The stem must not cutted to fit Gen Tube and Crown...
-
Hi all, I think it was reported before.... The HE Valve works like the real thing.. Thats damm nice for a rep I think... But thanks for the Pic Bobby...

Hello again, The Rep Tube is shorter than the Gen one,so the Gen Crown will fit but i think it's not waterproof. I tested the Rep Crown on a gen Tiube and the inner threads of the crown are too short to fit correctly... My Gen Insert won't fit without modifications, i must shape a liittle bit on the outside and bottom to snap it in.. So I installed agen Tube and Crown, because i broke the rep tube by reinstalling.... The CG's where reshaped to become a better look... I post Pics soon..

what sub is this? (warning: modem burner?)
Tribal replied to arminvanbuuren's topic in The Rolex Area
Loos lia perfect Sub from Paul... Maybe a Noob.... -
The Tube has threads but it's glued too... Maybe heating up will bring the Tube out with no damages... By the way on the treadside of the Tube he is shorter than the gen one... The Bezel construction is like on other Reps... But smooth 120 Klicks thats nice... I have changed the diving Extension with a Noob one polished the edges and it will work perfectly.. So you see its good to have some spare parts ;)When my PC is ready to work again I will Post some Detail Pics of it... By the way I'm not shure about the Movement if it's a real ETA 2836-2 ... Hope to hear som opinions from you...

Hi Stephane nice review of the bracelets... The MBW/MBK solid midlink band use a other sort of steell,I've heard about 440... The Endlinks on the MBW are solid and not the3 piece construction of the Noob one.... I think the Endlinks are better on the MBW..... For your problem to fit the Noob on your 16610 you must drill out the hole in the SEL a little bit to become more space than it will work for You my friend Hope this helps...

Great work Bobby, looks similar to mine Will post some Pics when my PC work again.....

I received the new modern SD today...Overall a nice constructed watch... So i desided to strip the whole watch because i wanted to mod the Cg's... The Rep Tube is nice but glued in the case,so i broke it by reinstalling Time to install a Gen Tube on it after modding the CG's The Crystall is damm thick about 3,6mm and it has agap on the bottom like on the Noob Sub Crystals. So I think we can't install a gen one... Rehautt is not bad a little conical but not so good as on the modern MBW's.. The Bracelet is not so good because some screws areb end and the divers extension won't work correctly... I installed a Gen Insert on the bezel,but i must grind down on the edges a little bit,after that it snaps in. The Rep Crown looks like gen but the inner threads are not deep enough to fit the Gen tube correctly... So a Gen Crown must be installed I will post some detail Pics of the construction from the Sd next time... Overall it's a nice watch some small issues,but hey it's a rep and a damm good one I think... I'll keep you all updated..
