Took some quick shots of mine, wondering if it had the same problem.

This is also build around 2010 looked it up its a Eurotimez DWO 30 usd back then.

(sorry for blurry pics)

Sunset light hits 5512 on a lazy evening.

Drop member Donerix a pm if you like this design

You made great pics that's for sure my compliment on those.

I have the same model. What hit my eye is that unfortunately the marker at 12 is not aligned it is skew.

See your pic number 5 and the last pic.

See also the point of the 12 o'clock triangle marker it should point at the middle of the rolex coronet, yours is pointing to the left to much.

here pic of mine

Much leather on monday its cold here and rainy

Looks great but i would considder to get a blue insert.

I've been wearing my special watch today while getting some new tatoo marks and a new mask for my radiation therapy that will start next week.

So this one will be glued to the wrist for the next week to come.

Have a nice day

Cats

English is not my best language, but as i understand it, wish you all the best for the coming week.

@ sardonix- don't wear either of them send them to me

Haha i am out of post stamps mate

Made my choice for friday the 13th

Make up my mind which to wear...

Happy weekend to you all!

That is a very nice pic Andy!

Got moods in it, like Donerix allways does in his photography.

Camera and the man who takes the pic, is one thing, today there are so much nice photo edit apps i use on my iPad.

Gave yours some more dramatic look hope you don't mind:

@Woof,

Got one from a collector was not for sale on VRF, since the watch is from 1979 i was looking for one with the Tudor logo. The older ones have Rolex logo/straps.

Came with 11 links, very nice condition, little stretch and the correct 380B end links for € 390 including shipping.

Pic of bracelet:

Kaboom.......got my gen 9315 folded bracelet today

Got my sourced gen 9315 folded bracelet today

Perfect for me now

Do not know if these are on VRF but as referene for sale at a EU dealer both asking price $ 6000

I prefer number one, second looks has some polishing lugs are thinner.

Number one has a more tight presence for me.

About a year ago i received a watch with totaly damaged coating from factory:

To much hassle to send it back to China, so i took care of it myself. I let FineDD in Germany do a new coating with no color result:

I have another factory watch, that has a blue tint AR coating. Also a pic to compare factory and finedd color free coating. Did my best to catch the blue tint for pic.

A good coating job makes a lot of difference in the total looks of a watch. I think it was a € 100 job back then including shipping to Germay and back to me
