Awesome E.

PM me if you have details.

Ephry,

The stem l've bought from DW doesn't fit at all.

Not the MM an also not a V72.

That [censored]

The movement is not a copy of anything..., it most certainly is not a V23 (or 72, the 72 is simply a 23 with a 12 hr counter added) I have tried all the stems possible and none fit.

I finally found a Bestfit stem that was close and needed some tweeking in the lathe to make it fit...

Thanks for posting Zig.

That's pretty much what Rolexaddict told me. That movement has nothing to do with a V72 nor V23.

It's some bi-compax-who-knows-what.

Very strange

However, Donerix has been very helpful so far and I might resolve that issue.

Thanks everyone for chiming in and please continue if you have more input.

I saw that too scope

Dr.B or ScottB l think.

However, you buy an ingod dial to improve font printing quality and/or accuracy - not because it improves the lume brightness.

My concern wasn't people thinking it was a rep, my issue was people thinking it was a Gen. and I was some pretentious 18 y/o with a trust fund

Well, fingers crossed you'll never get rich fast, while you are young!

P.

If you have no use for the gen 600 crown, let me know!

Thanks Akira, these are the smaller crowns than the Explorers ?

Cheers

1655 uses a #24-6000 tube and a #24-600 crown

Joey, do everyone and especially Donerix the favor and let that discussion slide.

It's raping a marvelous thread!

Nice post Valty!

Freddy: DW's last batch of cases featured tight countersinking for pump pushers that was substantially different from the wide indents on his 6263/6265s.

Just to back up your post.

LHOOQ sold this case to me

Obviously a lot tighter cut-outs on the pusher area

E,

that post is just purely artistic.

I really admire your creativity and workmanship!

Not talking about your photographic skills...the pics are hideous.

1675 uses a #24-5300 tube and a #24-530 crown

Wow, I thought that this is the RWGjr and the other RWG is the RWG1. Which one is which?

Depending on who you ask and if they give a crap or not.

Folks from rwgboard, which was replica-watches-guide.com/forum before it was attacks a few weeks ago, as well as most folks

from RG, refer to rag.cc as RWG2 or RWGjr.

However, do not get confused by names. Both boards are totally different and each forum has it's strong suit.

Sweet woof.

What's the other crown in your pic?

You care for a gen Fat Font insert?

Rather expensive.

I'm building a 5512 PCG gilt 4-liner right now

Original MBW, which is a couple of years old. L312 serial

Ingod gilt dial

Gen superdome T19

Gen 703 crown & matching tube

Gen fat font insert

Gen springbars

Slow-beat 2851

Clarks hands

Dial fits the rehaut perfectly, however I've heard of new MBK watches with a slightly too widen rehaut and fitting issues.

Case needs reshaping and so on.... It's one of the harder projects around.

A finished 1655 into a 1675, note : in the gen world 1655 and 1675 use exactly the same slim case and 5.30mm crown.

For the rep you need Explorers 16550 or 16570 6mm tube and crown. Ref : tube = 24-5330-0 crown = 24-603

Actually, the gen case might be the same, except for the CG area.

Because the genuine:

1675 uses a #24-5300 tube and a #24-530 crown

1655 uses a #24-6000 tube and a #24-600 crown

So the cut area inside the lugs on the 1655 case is meant to be for a 600 crown.

However, those new 603(?) service crowns also screw into a 5300 tube.

Is the Quartz Speedmaster Pro still the most accurate?

Just wondering if anything has changed the last few months?

All the recent threads are pretty old and I've only seen people modding the Lemania copy version.

Thanks

Wiesn, does have a point but,

the only upgrade I'd do, would be a V72 and I don't have the spare cash lying around at the moment.

So if your watchmaker can do a stem at a reasonable price, I'd go with it.

That movement has been working for years without problems,

I just got unlucky with breaking the stem, when I had a gen crown/tube installed.

I can ask my watch smith if he can make a copy for you.

He is pretty reasonable...

You go PM

I really want a Monte Carlo, but I won't do business with him until he pays M back.

I know for a fact that M never dealt with anyone else but the original DW

Will he pay back the members who are still out of pocket because of him?

Any chance you or he made pictures of the actual finished stem?

Nevermind I found one in my archives.

Anyone know where to get a similar one?

Any idea who could supply a stem for that Joey?

I'm desperate to try anything

Hi guys,

some of you might remember that I'm the owner of a V1 MM 6263 from DW

The stem broke quite some time ago and the one DW sent before he starting [censored] with members money, doesn't fit.

Neither does a regular 7750 stem.

RA said the movement is rather ST19 than V23 based.

So anyone got an idea what I can do to get a new stem?

Anyone got this movement as well and could snap a pic of the stem?

Best regards

Akira

Did those 2 pics of the yellow gold 6241 PN above come from DW or is that a gen?

It's a gen.

I can't remember the site, but it's pretty famous for selling incredible rare gen Rolexes

Hi guys,

where can I find an A7750 21,600bph and 3-6-9 layout?

Is there an online store in the US or EU

Or is one of our TD's the only option

Thanks

Akira

Actually, you probably won't find a 5512/3 with a thin font service insert faded that heavily by nature.

Those inserts first appeared sometime in the 90's to my knowledge.

So max. 20 years of sub exposure

Correct me if l'm wrong
