  1. Diesel, I have a set of 571 ends from DW One is missing the "springbar holding tubes"... Yours for free, if you want them.
  2. I checked a few of my 5513 reference pics...is it me, or does the Tropic has a gigantic dome? Even for a T19 superdome?
  3. It's been David Wong's ebay account for years A gen?
  4. Are paypal fees included?
  5. When I sold it, I offered the buyer to fade the insert a little more. He took the offer Thanks for the compliment. Actually this is just fun for me. I broke so many watches, but this time I really came through However the actual goal is to make tropical/brown Daytona dials.
  6. Yep, I find the inaccuracy disgusting!
  7. Yeah Tropical-ish Thanks for the compliment I prefer my Daytonas, DJ and GMT's though
  8. I've recently started to research on 6538 big crowns. Why? There were a couple of really great ones at the Rolex Passion Meeting this year. So, I've built one over the last few days... Parts: Silix case -> aged and polished, no sharp edges Stock dial -> aged, relumed and given a tropical look, matte finish Athaya big crown/tube -> Hell, what a pain to make the tube fit the case!!! Clarks T19 -> sanded down to the right height Rafflestimes golden hands -> relumed and aged Inserts slightly faded - pearl removed The tropical look is actually a lot more subtle, but just hard to catch on the camera. It really depends on how the light hits the plexi. Even though I like the look of the watch, it's not for my tiny wrist I hope you like it Full light on the dial - it appears really brown. Next up - A two liner 6538!
  9. Rolojack, I can give you - if you don't have them already - pretty much every Daytona dial Rolex has ever produced, in this quality: More than 100 dials, exotics as well, all photographed by Mazzariol PM your email address, so I don't have to upload all of them. Akira
  10. I thought "backdoor - I might want to sell" - threads were frowned upon. There's a sales area to create transparancy!
  11. Wooot? Not the gen?
  12. Loving the Sigma dial! Wear it well - spectacular watch!
  13. You definitely wouldn't be alone! But, I need to concentrate on this project first - If it has success, we (you) can take it from there. Akira
  14. If anyone else interested please post
  15. On september 12th he told me he has stock of the MM.
  16. Donerix and I want them for MM But all other will be V72 Layout is the same - only feet position varies. So 1. Donerix MM 2. Akira MM 3. CC33 V72 4. Dropbear2008 V72 5. Cougar1 ? - not confirmed Great - let's wait a few more days!
  17. Hi guys, I've been talking to DW the last couple of days. Is there interest in a 6240 black dial? DW, said he can produce it with his DAYTONA as the base - meaning he'd print them just without the red text. $180 each dial, handset included. All I need are 5 people to want one. This is (a slightly damaged example of his dial) I also talked to Phong and NDT They can produce it as well - price is $260 w/o hands from NDT and $450 from Phong. I personally don't think they are much better for the higher costs. Phong: NDT (from the font it looks like the DW to me) So please chime in if you'd want one... If I get more than 5 - we might get a better price. 1. Donerix 2. Akira 3. cougar1 ??? 4.... 5... Let me know Cheers Akira
  18. Are sales going that slow, Ken? Rubbish is a hard word - I agree. However, even most untrained eyes can pick every soft good rep from the genuine article. It's a fact, you'll never get a copy of a quality product for the fraction of the price. And those who work in development (design and production) of high end designer cloths, know why If you think you do - you've never handled the genuine goods.
  19. Both not perfect. The serif of R in Rolex of the gen dial is different to both versions. However, " SWISS - T < 25 " is much nicer on Ingod. Coronet is ok on both. I've found the ingod dials to be excellent - especially that 2-liner. For twice the price - the NDT doesn't give you much of an improvement IMO. So, ingod for me!
  20. Well, A7750 is a totally different design. MM and V72 have the same subdial spacing, just different feet position.
  21. I've been talking to DW. I have two people for the dial fitting his Mystery Movement. Anyone interested in a V72 version? I'll ask him to make a prototype first!
  22. DW aswered me today, saying he can produce one for around $200. But his stock photos are so blurry and I find him difficult to communicate. As for the dial pics, I have them all in that quality
  23. I was checking the Daytona a LIB book and came across a dial that confuses me. There is the 6240 black dial The 6263 black dial with red Daytona But also a black ROC dial without the O' before and after 'T swiss T' Is this a legit dial? Service maybe? And was it used in a 6240 or 6263-5? If one of the suppliers like Phong, DW or Ingod would make one - would you be interested? I personally hate the red DAYTONA print Thanks Akira
  24. Woof is right. There is a rep C&I stretch rivet. Angus has it on his 6542. http://www.puretime.co/product/vintage-gmt-master-6542-black-dial-bluered-eta2846/
