The general axiom is - you break it, you own it. Considering the condition, unless the damage was accidental (& you feel like doing the customer a favor), I would happily offer a replacement at full price or the option to smear away.

Most of the watch parts houses (eg, ofrei.com) sell them, but you will need to measure yours to be sure you get the correct match.

Looks good & nice choice. The GMTIIC is 1 of the few modern Rolexes I like.

You are kidding, right? Why would someone who drives a Porsche or Ferrari want a Prius or Leaf?

I think a woman would prefer the black 1.

Well done. Wear that with pride, Mr. Bond.

Ditto most of the above. The Minh dial's a poor copy & the NDT (as well as any other aftermarket dial) will be a step down from a damaged gen dial. Were it mine, I would start looking for a used gen dial. A local Rolex watchmaker, ebay, TZ, VRF or other gen sites are your best sources.

Great pics of a great watch.

I am not familiar with Demesys, so I cannot comment. But, as is typical with rep parts, I doubt WatchNY's supply is exclusive to them.

Definitely aftermarket & not genuine. Probably, WatchNY, but no way to prove this with 100% certainty.

Nanuq - Unfortunately, it does sound like you have a rep crown, but some good, clear macros (especially, of the internal components) would be very helpful. Have you removed (unscrewed) the inner components to inspect the spring? Generally, when the crown feels like it is slipping during winding, it is because either the spring is worn (or collapsed) or the flats of the internal components have rounded - both, from what I have seen, are common problems on either aftermarket or very old gen crowns.

I cannot believe it is half way through the day & no one started a wristies thread? Still have this thing clamped to my wrist

Wore my Aryan 'Master today

Good luck.

All in the details. Well done.

Most likely the pushers, but any other seal (crystal, caseback, crown) can leak.

Still wearing my beater

Around midnight & still wearing my beater, so I thought I would start the Friday Wristies
