  1. $225 for an aftermarket 1016 dial is crazy talk! $250-300 buys you a genuine service dial.
  2. Merry Christmas guys As a "thank you" to this board, I'd like to offer the Rolex Daytona A Legend Is Born Book as a .pdf file to anyone who is interested Just sent me a PM and you'll get it. Have great holidays you all! Akira
  3. Wasn't there a member running it through an UK based website? Thanks Akira

  5. J is a great guy! Talented and very patient!
  6. First one is yours mjmj. Let me know your address
  7. I have 4 of them and won't put them to use. They come with the fitting tube. I find them comparable quality to Rafflestime's big crown. Post in this thread if you want one. I'll ship it via letter for free Cheers Akira
  8. About to finish the third
  9. 5514 and 5513 pre-comex had a HEV

  11. Both were custom requests for two nice members from RG and therefore are sold...Sorry
  12. Thanks for the compliments True. ROL234 on their website
  13. I just finished those two and have a third case lying around...but real life has priority now Watches how they arrived: The gen as the desired outlook: *pictures taken from VRF, not mine The modifications: Case reshaped and aged, edges softened Athaya 8mm Brevet crown and tube installed Lugholes drilled to accept genuine springbars Dial aged and given a tropical brown look Hands aged Dial and hands relumed Pearl relumed Insert aged Seconds hand painted - white Bracelet aged and endlinks modified to take genuine springbars Sternkreuz tropic reduced in height and installed O-rings greased The outcome: I hope you like them Cheers Akira
  14. I thought we're calling a ban for posting Frankens on gen sites a Nanuq ....... .......
  15. So, to be more specific. This case: To look like this case:
  16. I will talk to 10:10 then Thanks for the info
  17. Ok, let me be clearer then I've already talked to JMB about the topic days ago and he can do it. However he's not working on watches for the next few months. So, I'm looking for someone else who can do it in near future...If there is nobody, I'll wait for J to be back to business again. Thanks for your replies though
  18. "Cough".... JMB was my first choice... "Cough" He's not doing watch work atm
  19. ...into a bare case? My first choice is taking a break from watchmaking Anyone else able to do this? Not enlarging existing ones, but drilling them into a case that doesn't have any yet. Please let me know! Thanks Akira
