  1. That is hard to say. It depends on where in the world you are (add that to CN <-> UK), what type of watch you order (because PT also gets his watches from the same factories as all other dealers), if the watch has to be ordered first from CN or if he has the watch in stock in the UK. My orders from PT are usually delivered within one to three weeks.

  2. That might be difficult. As far as I know, the date window on the dial needs to be in a slightly different position for a 7753. That means, in addition to a 187 with 7750 and a 7753, you would need a new dial.

    Back in the old days, there were 187 with 7753's for sale. They were very expensive and they are pretty rare. Chances to find a single dial from one of these are slim to none.

  3. Yes, things have changed quite a bit.... I remember my gen 1680 redletter Sub which I bought used in New York in 1984. I paid a whopping 400$ back then. As this is a rep forum, I might add that over the years, that watch went to Rolex twice for service and yes, it was really gen. About ten years ago, I (the idiot) unfortunately traded that watch for another piece, so I'm in line for the time machine...

  4. Ditto, though $300 seems a bit high, even for a small-production run considering that entire rep watches of similar quality are routinely sold for 1/4 of that. The only difference between the cheapest Silix case & a properly dimensioned case are the dimensions. The material is the same & so is the process that creates the case. I would expect a bit of extra cost if the production run is below the minimum (250), but we all know that a truly 1:1 case of a popular vintage Rolex model would more than likely require repeated runs to be able to satisfy the insatiable demand that such a product would incur.

  5. I'm not using Ghost but Acronis True Image however I have cloned EIDE disks to SATA disks via an external USB to SATA connector. True Image was running from a bootable CD, the EIDE was inside the PC the new SATA connected via USB. I later added a PCI SATA controller card to the PC and switched the disks.
