Haha! Had to cover that misprint dial somehow! Yeah - I have seen later matte gilt... However, chapter rings come from the earlier, dressier era of Rolex watches...
-
Not all gilt are glossy, but I think all chapter rings are... I think they're an ok base for a starter. At this point in the rep game, I am pretty much only satisfied with a gen dial (as I'm sure others are) but for a newby this would be a good chance for them to get their feet wet.

has anyone ever built one of these white 1016 explorers ?

Same here!! -
Whoopy, what are the odds that if this order goes through, that you will be doing another order? IE: If we don't order now, is that it? Is this a one-run basis or the first (of hopefully) many?

+1 on the 1016, especially if it is a gilt w/ minute track...

Rep Watch Service CONUS for a Zodiac 75B

Cool! Glad to hear. I'll keep your name in mind, too, in the future - I have lots of watches that occasionally need service. Thanks! -
Rep Watch Service CONUS for a Zodiac 75B
ww12345 replied to ww12345's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
I think so. At the moment, the movement is with 1010 Watch Repair, here in CA. I guess we'll find out in a little while whether it is fixable... -
Does one exist? I would love to have a chapter ring gilt dial on my Explorer, but when I checked last, they were no more than a figment of imagination. Has someone found/created a decent dial?

I'm on the last stage of a 1675 project - I'm trying to find someone who can service my Zodiac 75B movement so that I can get my 1675 running. Are there any suggestions for modders willing to take on the job? Thanks in advance!

recieved a watch for repair with no contact info
ww12345 replied to mymanmatt's topic in The Rolex Area
It had a return address, just no note on the inside. :S I was rushing to get it to the mail and sealed it up without the nicely written note I had, so it took this thread to find who actually owned it! (me) -

PM sent. I had a nice note written, but didn't include it in the box. I'm 99% sure you are talking about my watch... -
I don't want to give anything away, but if you can wait a while, a member here has some very promising prototypes...
-
I don't know - to me the 3, 6, and 9 markers look like standard Rolex vintage lume. If you notice, they each look like they were squeezed out of a tube (something I always thought was odd, but most gen NOS samples show that to be accurate). Could be accurate, but like Freddy said, always buy the seller.
-
Cool! Am sending it in for service Monday...

I want to say it is a 2846, but don't remember off hand...

I have a 5513 Sub that, for some reason, stops and starts rather erratically. I know this question probably would have been better in a different section, but I figured I'd ask it here because this seems to be the section with the most "franken" builders. This 5513 seems to be fully wound, and will run for like 5 seconds and then stop. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with it, or who could fix it for me? Thanks in advance!
-
Wow. I have never liked the 1680 until now. I'm in for this, as well as any other offerings you have in the future. I agree with Nanuq - you have really changed the course of reps with this project. Excellent work!
-
By the way, here are some photos PB took of the DW aligning...
-
Will do. I'll try to get some more pictures taken tomorrow, and I'll try using a white background with plenty of foreground light (what I've learned so far from the photography forum.) Stay tuned!
-
I know - this was with all the settings. I'm going to have to try and do a better job next time. Any tips? Your photos usually (read: always) come out cool...

Here's some updated pics - check out the lume on this awesome watch!
