I just picked up a gen 78360 bracelet to fit onto my 16710. According to the chart pinned here http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/112790-vintage-rolex-bracelet-and-endlink-guide/ I should be getting 501. Would 501b's not fit properly? WSO sells 501b's. are those any good? Or should I just get 501's. Thanks

Want to fit on a gen 78360 on a 16710.

Have to agree BK and TC if you're into specific Rolex models.

I agree the price is not bad assuming all else is original but if the dial has been this badly refinished, then maybe it's a complete Franken and at that price, it's too high for a Franken.

Oops!

Refinished, he says? Butchered! http://www.network54.com/Forum/207673/thread/1374787734/FS-+Rolex+5513+Head+only.

Love it!

I just saw another one go for sale. Slightly cheaper!

That watch gets better looking everyday! Congrats

Anyone have a good reliable source for 501s? I found some on VRF but turned out to be in worst shape than pictured. Got a full refund which was nice. Thanks for the input

That's terrible. I keep everything locked up!

Beautiful! Although, I tend to side with Freddy on this one. The graduated bezel and the dial make it busy. One day, I'll build me a white version. Congrats!

interesting... And a 2-tone...

Congrats!

My wallet regrets ever discovering this hobby! I came learning how not to get fooled as I was buying a gen from an AD - yes, I'm paranoid!!! I bought it but the thought of buying an "identical" piece, at least from the outside, consumed me. In the end, as others have said, "you know" not others. Although people may notice your watch, the will have no idea. And to be honest, unless its a real shitty rep, at a glance, it's tough to be called out. You have to remember that we spend our days looking at super macro shots an hi-res screens, zoom in, zoom out, open a different window and compare. At the office, at the park, wherever, how often will you say, "Nice watc, do you mind if I take a look at it?" This never happened to me. You comment but never handle the watch. If I'm not happy with a flaw, I fix the flaw change the watch. Enjoy it for yourself! There is no greater pleasure than being in the car, on the beach, anywhere for that matter and glancing at your wrist wearing a piece you truly love. Once you spot a flaw, you won't be smiling and the person next to you won't know the difference.

That was great! Just out of curiosity, how many in the box?

I think it looks line a nice fun look. However, I could not see myself wearing that combo for too long. I'm glad you posted as I had considered it.

I'm with you on this watch! It's on my list of "must have gen" one day. This one is stunning, though.

Why not stick to the trusted dealers? You've managed to find your way here so use the info and the knowledge.

Very nicely done.

Well said, By-Tor. Even the Frankens can be salvaged in whole or in part for a good chunk ofvthevoriginal investment. I have a few gens and I'm sure I could recoup my cost as I bought them used.

Handed down by his grandfather! Classic ebay scam for a vintage. Not the deep sea! Tick-tock...

After much back and forth and many days of wearing both, I decided on my original DRSD with the lighter coloured lume. I have now replaced the dial with a MQ Comex dial.

My new Comex Franken.

You are on a roll! Like the crisp new dial.
