40 yrs guitar..30 on the road...retired and own a small business the last ten.

here's my PO (Iphone pic)

He does? But not through his website, correct? I guess I will PM him. Thank you for the insight!

Go ahead and order, once you order he emails you a link to another site for watchbands..... and that link is for paypal.

I just bought one too!

I bought the 128$ PO from josh when these first came out and love it too...

But..now I have the mod itch and want to swap dial,hands,crown and He. I just found out since I have the DG4813 movement...it's not gonna work.

Wish I had researched more. I guess I will have to buy another Po with the ETA.

Doesn't the 6263 take a 19mm band?

It does indeed take a 19mm

seller Squinky on ebay has those straps I think

Who sells the nicest pearls? I was thinking about ordering from Ofrei or from watch materials just mentioned.

Also.. does the epoxy pearl mod look better if well done?

The pearl is the worst part on all my reps and I'm chompin at the bit to learn modding!

Thanks in advance!

I've been thinking alot about buying a Comex rep..and meanwhile while looking at watchbands on ebay I came across this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTHENTIC-ROLEX-SUBMARINER-5514-COMEX-PAPERS-/220734598463?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3364cead3f#ht_500wt_1156

It's listed under watchbands with a starting bid of 100$..and no bids so far.

Thoughts?

That's pretty cool!

Thanks for posting all this!

I just bought this rep and it's supposed to arrive here today, so I am trying to learn everything I can about this model and mods for it.

That's awesome! I really want to build one of these!

Thats too funny!

I hope someone chimes in that has one. I like the looks of it too.. but I've only seen pictures

"effects our relationship" is how it was worded in my email. Were you saying that comment was not necessary from me, or of him saying it in the email?

I don't think that's what he's saying. I got the same email with the same comments from Josh.

At the time (end of dec) there was a thread on RG where someone posted QC pics from Josh and many were picking apart the 5th gen PO.

Since I was buying the PO..his price was good and service was great.. thought the email made sense at the time..kinda thought it was personal..lol ..but now I think he sent the same email to lot's of people.

Being new to the rep game and these forums, I didn't question it.

This is a great story with a happy ending!

It never ceases to amaze me how technology has progressed for this situation to happen!

Thanks Francisco.. I learned something new today!

"i will also but a link in from another auction for a slimier watch"

I have never been much of a bracelet guy, and although the one that came on my PO is really nice, I put a Maratac silicone strap on and I love it.

It's very comfortable and has a great deployment.

Thanks for the replies.

Being new here and reading about waterproofing, I assumed it was necasary with these reps.

It makes sense to have the watch tested..and go from there.

One thing I'm curious about..if you take your watch to a mall or somewhere and have it tested.....

and it leaks crazy... what next?

Maybe I'm missing something but if during the test it gets full of water...you need to have skills and tools ready?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Awesome vid you posted!

Thanks for the water test tip too, I guess what I am really asking is about the HE valve.... epoxy from the outside ...as opposed to taking the watch apart and sealing it from the inside?

Hi everyone,

Just received my 42mm PO from Josh and love it!

I have looked around and read several tutorials on waterproofing... and particularly waterproofing DSSD. I see they open that watch and seal the HE from inside with epoxy.. and then seal the case and crown with silicone.

Since I am new at this and have never opened a watch before, I wonder what's wrong with sealing the PO's HE from the outside with epoxy?

I was wondering your thoughts on this?

Also.... this is a wonderful place for learning this hobby and I'm glad I found you guys!

Awesome post!

Great pictures and info too.

I ordered one and it shipped yesterday. I am kinda wishing I had gotten the swiss movement now.
