  1. This is the Cartel Big Crown I find the case in no way inferior to the Silix to be honest. Takes the same parts as the Silix case does and I'm 90% positiv it's actually the same case as Silix ETA version, just more expensive. (A & J are always more expensive) Both dials need work and aren't exactly 1:1
  2. Apart from being quartz - but no seconds hand. I find them rather nice looking, but I've never researched the gen to be honest. How do you like it? Could look great on a nice gator strap. Is it a good rep in your eyes?
  3. You got it right. This 16200 came with a 5300 tube and a 24-604 crown. The 1016 uses a 6000 tube and a 24-600 crown. Late models might have a 603. I exchanged crown and tube to a period correct version. That is what Lo' meant
  4. Perfect! Though I liked the service plexi just fine...as long as it was on my wrist
  5. Some watches are in better shape then the day they left the Rolex factory in the 70's
  6. Lawrence has been in the business for years...one of the old timers. I've bought from him on several occasions years ago. Anyways, generally he has nothing you can't also get from any other trusted dealer of this website.
  7. Yeah some pretty rough stuff up there. I like how straight forward Phillipe is. All these years I thought...mhm.. Nbtimes really has some nice stuff for sale. Never knew about his "insider" reputation. On the other hand, there is no doubt, a fair amount of excellent sellers on there. Jacek striking me as one of the best. Clear photos, serial, detailed information and all. But I've also dealt with total [censored] up there. Which is easy for them, since on VRF it's frowned upon to call anyone out.
  8. I like it very much CC! Great stuff! Where the [censored] is Dems btw? I haven't seen him around in years.
  9. Very interesting stuff and information on there: http://www.network54.com/Forum/207593/thread/1361266920/Please+explain+me+why+a+certain+HK+dealer+is+allowed+to+post+his+enhanced+offers+on+VRM--
  10. Donerix 2.0, on 18 May 2012 - 04:57, said: In my opinion the "budget" version is also quite nice: PT case (shave the wokky rehaut like Donerix did) Joey's bezel gen 24-600 Ken's hands Snip those dial feet Ingod dial and you're good to go!
  11. I asked Nanuq to remove both of my posts via PM. Sorry if he didn't do it yet.
  12. Just wanted openly apologize for my joke. Didn't mean no harm. Take care
  13. Mhm, DW's crown won't fit a A7750 stem? The A7750 stem is 0.9 standard. All my previous DW crowns did take the normal stem... So I just checked and yes, that guy's right. The DW crown does not take a 0.9 but a 1.2 stem I'd say Weird rep world...
  14. Well, PM me if you like. Explain were you want to go with the Daytona case. I might have a spare tube and crown for the DW case. Otherwise get a aftermarket tube and a gen crown. I can also check for a handset in my parts drawer, since I don't believe denimhead has any spare ones left. Don't sweat it. As I said it wasn't a problem for me
  15. I bought one of the case sets + a dial from the same sales thread of Denimhead. Case is the same as I expected. Same as any DW case set for A7750. The dial was the usual 6239 silver dial with 2 small scratches on one subdial. This wasn't described in the sales, but Denimhead could have easily missed it, since I only noticed it on a much much closer look. Never bothered to contact him though, since the price was more than fair and I had plans with the subdial already. I've bought from Denimhead again a few weeks later - item as described. I don't know him as a guy who would intentionally hide something from a buyer. my 2 cents
  16. cc, would you mind sharing a pic or two of the bracelet attached with DW's 571's? I have a couple of gen 7835 and 7205's that need fitting endlinks. Thanks
  17. Afaik J istn't doing watch work at the moment!
  18. 1016 dials would kill and sell like hot cupcakes! Also everything gilt would be a big seller since those aren't as well replicates in my eyes.
