I'm a bit of both too I guess. I'm probably more a collector of gens for the mere fact I have several that I never wear and definitely more a wearer of my reps/frankens, which is currently 8 with 2 projects in the (very slow) works. I'm a bit more fickle with my PAM's as I am now down to only 2 (dumped 2 in the last few months) but vintage Rolex is where my heart is -who knew! .

Today

Nice choices BT and ST4! Both great ideas to start off the week. Monday Tuesday

Maybe DSN could do a run of cases for the group. What does everyone think?

Great tribute and collection Freddy!

Sweeeeeet GMT Stephane! 16570 for Friday

IFL, All these 1:1 cases/kits have gone up in price i.e. ND Trading, Jewelry & Watch. DW is adjusting accordingly, I'd say DW was the best value for quality (not the mystery mvmt model) around before he raised prices. You can still find 78350 and 7205 bracelets between $300-$500. Finding the proper 571 end links on them is another story and will cost you more.

IFL, You can also see if DW still sells the 7750 powered version of his 6263, I believe those are less than $2,000. I think you can find him on ioffer selling parts/kits. A lower cost option is to build a VJ23 powered DW 6263 instead, the hour subdial would be frozen (but be sure to use a DW mystery mvmt case for the VJ23, the VJ72 kit has slightly different inner dimensions I understand). I had mine built for under $1200 including a gen T21 crystal and 78350 bracelet, granted that was about 2 years ago. If you get an entire mystery mvmt DW you can use everything except the hands for the VJ23 mvmt, which takes VJ72 hands. I hope that helps! Ubi, what impeccable taste you have

Heya R! You're too kind -I would say the same for your reviews. Laz, great 4 watch shot sir! Now have you worn them out all at once

:tu:

Monte Carlo today 1655 Tomorrow Friday

Nice strap Ubi! I think the old PVD Dirks work with Ti cases since the finish is so light in tone but I'm with DT -I like mine to match too.

Great find Freddy. Tropical Big Crowns -mmmm tasty!!!

Ditto!

Great reference shots Nanuq, thanks!

Howard is great as well as Countycomm for Maratac and other mil straps.

Very nice, the graphite tone looks dead on. I think a 202A project is calling my name. One question S; was this a SS or PVD case you started with? Congrats S. wear it well and kudos Avitt!

Hi Toadt, thanks for the kind words. Yes, it's a Red12 belt -Zack can hook ya up! See Here for a better shot.

Love that 5513 R! Nothing new here, the 201A again

Wow, nice project P, looks like you're off to a great start and will have a beauty when she's done. Keep us posted on the progress, I always love these posts!

Not much to say except :notworthy: :wub:

Ubi, I have no issue with it and as others have said as long as it's stated up front why not. Now the big question is....... what watch is it??? -the suspense is killing me

Another winner Jojo and a rare one at that

I was hoping to enjoy my 201A some more but my wife decided to give it a try today -so that's out And she gave me the rolled eyes when I asked to take a wrist shot of it on her. Back to this old thing today! Good choices btw, Dluddy and TA8088 -love those white dials.

Stephane, it's always nice to see the 1680 couple! My 201A is just back from the spa with a Ziggified dial and hands. I think this will be on my wrist for a few days.
