  1. I am not familiar with this brand, but if you are looking for more info, you might try googling it.
  2. Short of a gen, MQ's contain, to my eye, the least objectionable sins. But, as always, do your research & decide for yourself.
  3. Search out By-Tor's 116520 & Ziggy's secs @ 6 7750 reviews. You might also read my Perfect Daytona thread (note the disclaimer at the top).
  4. Yes, WatchNY. That is the guy with the good bezels.
  5. If you value cheapness over accuracy, Mr. Slimeball is your man. His bezel is a typical rep part containing the widely spaced 1-1-0. There is another seller on ebay (I forget his name, but I am sure someone else will chime in with it) that has very accurate bezels priced around $200.
  6. Do not PM me regarding this issue as we have no control over other sites & I am no longer a member on the other site. But I can tell you that having multiple accounts is against the rules on most sites & that alone can result in a banning.
  7. It is no more difficult to read than my Mystery DJ, which also lacks markers. The clock is on the wall behind my speakers & was placed there more for aesthetics than serious time-keeping.
  8. I know nothing about these types of watches, but, if he were selling them, based on the generally fuzzy pics, I would automatically assume them to be reps.
  9. Originally, without seeing the back, I thought this was a gen dial. But the back looks new/aftermarket. Like Ubi, I also used a ft 1st in my pre-Comex, but the cross in the t should be a bit higher than the cross in the f for a pre-Comex (at least that is the way they are on the 2 gens that I am aware of), which this dial does not have.
  10. To make a reasonably accurate Newman would require expertise, time & money (mostly for r&d). Some years ago, on behalf of DW, I posted a thread asking whether people would be willing to pay several hundred $ for a 62xx. This was based on a DW 6263 that I had modded, which DW was considering copying for sale. Unfortunately, at the time, DW felt there was insufficient interest to make such a project profitable.
  11. Read any of Ziggy's secs @ 6 7750 reviews & click me
  12. Vintage is more my thing, but if you are sure something is not working the way it is supposed to (& it is not pilot error), you should begin by asking the seller what you should do.
  13. Looks good , but where is the wristie with the bracelet?
  14. Ditto all of the above. I think you need to spend some time researching the specific model you are interested in. There are a number of good Rolex books, not to mention pics on gen sites as well as google that you can compare reps to.
  15. Finally, some pics that do these classics justice.
  16. G-S Hypo Cement or clear finger nail polish Whatever you use, make sure it is dry before closing the case.
