Can someone who has an AP diver and a Rolex sub post a side by side shot and a wrist shot of each or even both on the wrist. It would be much appreciated. I had planned to stop by an AD today and try an AP diver on but work kept me indoors all day! Many thanks

Too much for an incomplete set.

Bumping this for more options!

Let's hope everyone gets their goods back!

Since you sound so excited, $4,200

Yes, in the US.

The 16600 is the rare modern Rolex I enjoy wearing. After owning a variety of models, the Super Sea Dweller V2 was the one I had stuck with the longest. Despite the arrival of many wannabe super reps, the SSD v2 has held up extremely well. The only issue I had was the oversized LEC on the crystal. When the BP SD arrived, many went crazy for it. The LEC was gone. My SSD V2 had already been modded, crown guards trimmed, it sported a gen insert, gen crown/tube, PBDad had done a great job of reluming the dial and hands. So, I did the only thing I could think of - I put my SSD v2 for sale and opted to start anew with the BP sd. My SD had a small issue. The swiss 2836 movement had lost its auto wind capabilities. I posted a thread on this seeking help. With this issue, the offers I received for the watch were not interesting. So, I decided to buy a BP and take the case and crystal from the BP and put in the guts of my SSD V2. I was fortunate to be contacted by a true gentleman of the board - member Misiekped. He had responded to my auto wind problem and offered to fix it as he was a watchsmith. He has been a member here for 6 or 7 years. After a few exchanges, I told him I would send him both watches to swap out the parts and fix the swiss movement. He also told me would service the movement I was keeping. On my next business trip, I mailed him the goods. The work was completed within a few days if memory serves me. He provided regular updates - at one point, we were PMing back and forth for almost an hour as he was keeping informed of what he was doing! When I received the watches, everything was perfect. I sold the BP SD that was now in the SSD case and wore the 16600 SD for a straight week while I was on holiday. I just reported back to him that the watch stayed in sync with the clock on my phone! Awesome!! I am extremely happy with Misiekped and his work. I have since sent him a 1665 MBW double red that had been parted but I asked him to put it back together as I need to sell it. The work was completed very quickly especially considering I sent it a week before xmas. I have not picked it up yet but the pictures he sent me indicate that the watch looks fabulous. So why am I writing this? I asked Misiekped why he did not openly publicize his talent. At the time, the whole MD2020 fiasco was still very fresh and no one knew what was going on with MD2020. So recently, after the 1665 work was completed, I again offered to post a review which can contain much more than positive feedback. So here we are. Misiekped has worked on 3 watches for me thus far. I have been extremely happy with his service and the cost associated with his work. Communication has been perfect. The 2 watches I did get back so far came back in perfect working order. The 1665 is ready but waiting for me to get myself in Conus. I recommend him if you need work done. He even relumed a seconds hand for me! As we are always in need of a qualified watchsmith, I thought it was time that I shared my find with all of you! Misiekped, thanks for your work! You have earned repeat business from me.

Haha! It is Revenge. I watched Season 1 and remember the Rolex in question!

Can someone id this watch? Saw a commercial for this TV show on ABC. I googled the show, the actor to track down a pic of the watch I saw. Thanks

I still regret passing over one several years ago in Mexico. I was at an AD and was asking $6k USD for a brand new LV. He was willing to negotiate a little. I tried to convince the wife that this watch would increase in value and that it was a safe investment. No go. A few later, I was at an AD in Vancouver. Only had the ceramic LV which wasn't for me. I asked if he has the old one. Looked in the back and came back with a brand new LV! He said "it's the old model, not as good as the new one. Can't really budget on this one so how about $6k CDN". Very tempting but I passed again - did not want to pay taxes! I ended up buying a used one for roughly the same amount.

I'm sure the sum of the parts is less than the $10K these gens go for. Nice watch, enjoy.

I just picked up a Cartier Santos. Always wanted to try the square look. It has a small chip in the center of the crystal. Has anyone ever tried replacing the crystal? It's not the new super rep version. It's the previous super rep version!! Thanks for the input.

Very nice....

I should have said - it looks like my watch!! Looks great

I think that's my watch!

i personally would not cut the feet off the dial... Worth investing in a 1570 and call it a day!

Really? Have you seriously asked someone to hand you a watch and then proceeded to check which way the hands turn? People notice my watch on my wrist. They will either say, "nice watch" or "is that new." No one asks if its real or not and I would never even dare ask anyone either. If I see a nice watch, I will say the same : "nice watch." I don't try to trap anyone and would hope that no one tries to trap me. Anyone who does has a serious inferiority complex and is wearing the watch for the wrong reasons.

This will be super. Impressive list of parts!

nice indeed!

Looks great! WIsh it was blue...

Congrats! Looks amazing.

Not our friend from Israel again! Get the Mossad on him.

Beautiful!

wow! That's cheap!

Thanks for the input. I've been thinking about a Mac but my only concern was compatability with my office computer where I do on occassion have to use excel and word from home. These can now be loaded on a Mac, right?
