If at all possible, I would avoid super gluing o-rings that do not fit or stay in place. If the o-ring slips out, you have the wrong o-ring. Get the proper 1 & that should solve the problem.

The bracelet was likely a franken, with a generic pin holding the leaves together. This is common with alot of used Rolex bracelets I have seen over the past several years. Just about any watchmaker with a Rolex parts account can repair it (properly) for you.

As Alligoat suggested, the 1st needs a rotor. Beyond that, were they mine, I would have them both professionally overhauled (disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, timed) & wear them.

Depends on which Daytona model, which o-ring & which crown/tube you have. Provide answers to those questions & someone should be able to help you. In the meantime, if the crown will not screw down, the tube or crown threads are damaged & you will need to replace whichever part is damaged.

Nice.

Nice to see you back, DuDro. I would figure on $250-$300 from a reliable seller. For something like this, I would pay a bit more rather than take chances.

Still wearing 1 of my Subs

Safe? Nah, be fast.

No comment.

Very definitely NOT Mother's Day, but I am wearing a mother of a Sub today

Check the Watchmaking forum.

The crown is loose on the stem. The caseback must be removed, the stem lock depressed to withdraw the stem & the crown needs to be screwed back onto the stem. If you lack the knowledge/tools, I would take the watch to any pro watchmaker & they can probably do it while you wait. This is a common problem with reps. Remember, 1 of the reasons the gen costs multiple thousands & the equivalent rep is only hundreds is because there is little or no QC involved in rep production. You get what you pay for.

Were it me, I would consult a lawyer or pay the fine (the cost will be about the same). Otherwise, assuming you did not say anything in your ebay auction that could be construed as suggesting they were real (if so, that is illegal & I would pay the fine & consider it a learning experience), I would send them a letter back explaining that your brother brought them back from his tour in Iraq &, based on ebay's note, you realized they were fake & threw them away (ie., they are long gone). It was an honest mistake. Most likely, you will receive 1 additional letter, which I would answer similarly. In most (not all) cases, that should take care of it.

Well, that just about says it all. Welcome back, Bill. I hope you can stay awhile.

Looks aftermarket & ditto dropbear2008's $500.......... comments.

The spring resides in a channel on the inside of the bezel & clips onto the underside of the retaining ring on the case. You may be able to source a spare from the seller or some watchmaker may have them.

That is the Driving Wheel (1530 (base caliber) part 7837), which looks like its pinion was broken off in the plate.

PM sent.

Who wants to see pics of that nasty old thing?

Eeeeeek! You just scared the (neighbor's) cat!

Where are the pics of your 2 frankens? As SSTEEL pointed out, do not use the forums for backdoor sales.
