I do not.

Great read! Thanks

Just saw a report of counterfeit goods on CNBC. Main focus was purses, Dr. Dre Beats and wine (!) but interesting. This is huge business. It's a multi-billion industry. The funniest thing was that they interviewed a guy who was in the business for 16 years and made millions. He said,"I sold fake to buy real! Fake is fake. Real is real" It's insane how many Dr Dre beats were destroyed. That's why I will never buy anything on eBay!

It's a dual branded dial! Rolex and Tudor. [censored], this must be rarer than a Comex branded dial.

Like Chief said, you can easily get in the $4k-$5k range if you add gen insert, gen dial, gen bracelet, etc. If you can get a hold of a DW case, that's your cheapest bet. A v72 will set you back around $1k. Gen dial, depends on model and condition. Expect at least $1,500 for a black dial and in excess of $2,200 for a silver dial.

Sky is the limit!

Congrats! Beautiful watch. I now understand why you had to sell your Double-Red!! Nothing beats gen!

Keep up the great work. I have a greater appreciation for the work involved in repping these fine watches!

He sources it from the same factories as the other dealers but then makes some modifications. If you want to really add some magic, have BK send it to PB for you to have some additional mods done such as reluming, fixing the pearl, etc... Good luck

Congrats!!! The watch is beautiful. BK is the man!

I don't mind at all! Keep them coming.

Agree with you. I love my YM and it's on my list of gens to get one day. My nephew loves it and I can only pass down a gen! Knowing me, I will keep my rep until I am on my death bed and at the last second,buy the gen to hand down!!!

Oh boy! You're killing us here! Time to throw out the budget!

I showed him the Seiko and he loves them! He's picking one out now. They are really awesome watches!

Dangerous and expensive!

Okay. Count me in for one. What to do with with my 1665 Comex plans now...

Thanks. My taste runs more towards vintage these days.

I've noticed he puts the beater stuff on VRF and sometimes has nicer stuff on TRF. @ Alligoat: If I decide to pull the trigger, I'll keep Jacek in mind too.

Beautiful collection there, friend. Always interesting to see how people discover this place and the hobby!

I've always wondered why some dealers on VRF sell for considerably cheaper than others. Specifically, Ponycar350 tends to sell beater watches for considerably less than others His watches appear as though they have lived, rarely come with box and papers. Still, I've been tempted more than once. What are your thoughts?

That looks great!!! As others have asked, price?

+1

I'm with Freddy and Stefano!

It should. All modern subs have same size. I know of at least 1 person who converted a TW sub to a TT sub. I'm planning a similar pimp job on my BK WM9 with a serti dial.

We will never know...until we do. I am a huge fan of the white 6542.
