Just got word from Yuki no lume which is a shame as the texture of the red sub dial is good

No lume is good, 30 year old tritum doesn't glow anymore either and thats what the yellow lume is trying to replicate ..

In addition to the aftermarket dial/handset, the crown position looks offset, which hints at the case being aftermarket as well. On the other hand, the movement (if in good, running condition) & bracelet are worth the asking price, so it might not be a bad buy.

Hey Freddy,

yes true, i might go and offer him considerably less otherwise given what its gone through parts may not be in the best of condition ...

Cheers

Hi Aligoat,

ah yes hence the price. Never knew about the 5500 but a quick Google and i can see ... thanks!

Hi all,

i just moved from Beijing to Shanghai and whilst wandering around my new neighbourhood i found an old electronics market and on the third floor i found this ....

sorry for crappy pics i only had my Blackberry ...

The rivet bracelet is all original and in ok condition but the dial and hands are certainly crappy replacements. I asked the guy to open her up and inside was a gen Rolex movement but a 1530 not a 1570 which i think is correct for a 1016. The case looks good correct engraving in the caseback although i didn't check between the lugs. Crystal sits too high also probably aftermarket.

So i asked him the price .... and he said 10,000 yuan. Which is 1,500 USD. I initially thought wow i gotta have this but in its unoriginal state what do you guys think ...

Btw he had quite a few Datejusts, Oyster precisions all going for the usual prices

Cheers

P.

Wow, nice build. Interested to know where you brought a V2 in Beijing. I lived there for 7 years and never found a decent rep. I just moved to Shanghai but get to Beijing regularly. Please let me know...

Cheers

Not this one by any chance ... yes a Yuki ring will do the trick. An ETA 2846 is what you'll need

Ok own up, who put this on Ebay ... quite nice apart from the wokky rehaut

Cheers

P.

Different watches prolly both gen. One has lugholes. No rep of this Seadweller would ever come with lugholes .... oldest scam in the book.

Cheers

P.

Any more pics Sweet ! you done well finding a case to fit the gen 7750. Good job !

P.

awesome ! how did the bezel insert fit in the yuki case ...?

P.

Awesome piece.. i do think the Phong cases are the best ....

Cheers

P.

is this gen dial and rep slide rule ring?...

was the 7753 movement modded to make it tri-compax?...

Cheers Rob .... yes gen dial had to be shaved down to fit rep slidewheel which doesn't line up all the way round of course...

Nope movement is as it came ... 3 registers

Cheers

P.

FANTASTIC !

how does the quick set date function work ?

Keep wearing it

There is an alternative way ... i read somewhere ...

Cheers

Hi guys,

some of you may have been following my quest for a fix to fit a gen ETA 7750 or 7753 into a rep navi case. You can read the results here ....

http://www.rwgforum....t-for-gen-etas/

So i finally have the finished article. Many thanks to The Zigmeister for putting it all together ... specs are:

- Gen ETA 7753 with gen rotor

- Gen blue arabic dial

- Gen burgundy croc strap with gen deployment

- Custom double AR by Regalmann

- The rest is stock cartel rep with case mods to fit movement

obvious omission is a gen Breitling datewheel ... if anyone has for a 7753 ...?

here we go

Cheers for looking

P.

Hey Rob, i read somewhere recently that Omega Seamaster hands are perfect for this project ... i'll dig around and try to find more info

here you go ...

http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/136234-finally-done-5517/

also, would like to match a new set of sword hands to whatever dial i pickup so i don't have to re-lume...the hands would be mounted on a 2836-2 movement...

Love your 1675 Nanuq good to see you still have it ... Jubilee is the way to go. My Silix rep on a gen jubilee. My custom dial looks a lot like your gen Nanuq. Long minute markers and pointy crown

Cheers

P.

Thanks, Pete...you rock!...

(was actually thinking/hoping you might!)

R

Anytime mate... i think the sizes are different so i'll send you a small hand set...

Cheers

P.

i like it .... but i wouldn't wear it myself.

P.

Am modding up the old Fighter edition Navi...case and bracelet brushed...eta dw installed...but lost one of the small silver chrono hands...argh!

Anyone have a spare and/or set?...

Thanks...R

Hey mate, yes i have spares, pm me your postal address and i'll get it off asap...

Cheers

If you don't know what a SSD V2 should look like, why bother buying one?

Don't be too hard on the guy... Buts it crap don't bother. SSD V2 is not made anymore, best thing is keep eye on the sales section. But first do some homework via the search tool..

Cheers

P.

Just wondering what the general feeling is about this rep. it looks pretty good to me.

Rogerwine

Pics..?

Still, the dial would be a big step if anyone knows if the gen will fit?

Gen dial fits an SSD no problem. Here's mine Tritum dial, drilled lugholes....

Cheers

P.

My question to you is: I am interested in replacing the pearl and possibly the bezel. Will a Gen bezel insert fit into this rep?

Welcome to the forum... Gen LV bezel inserts are pretty hard to find and will cost you way more then the complete watch you just brought...

Cheers
