Hi, I'm working now in three Rolex projects: a franken MBW1680, a franken MBW16610 and a modded Noobmariner. The first two are going to expert modders. But the last one is my personal project just for fun. So I need some information. What's the correct Super Luminova pigment for a modern submariner? C1, C3, a mix, another one...? How do I must give the lume? Do I have to remove the previous lume in the hands, dial and pearl? How? Thanks for your help. Un abrazo, Carlos

I know, Stephane. Mine is so and it suprised me. I was just asking why the makers decided to put an incorrect case serial in the MBW?

Why the 1680 case number is 5513?

shower, swimming... never a problem

Thanks for your help. PM sent... in Spanish. Is it a problem for you?

You're OK. They say it's a genuine dial that they've refinished.

I'm waiting the bezel to arrive. I'll show you pics for your opinion. Chief, thanks for the offer. Can you show me some pics? I'll go with the 7030 I think. Thanks for your kind words, tmg. Did you know this one?

When I first saw the pics from the seller, I thought the same about the "m". So I asked the seller and some of our more expert members. The seller -he's got a good reputation in ebay- answered that they only restore genuine dials. Some members did tell me that it looks genuine for sure. Finally I looked for some genuine pics and I found some of them with the exact "200m" font. Who knows? When it arrives I'll take it to a Rolex AD to ask if it's gen or not.

Thank you very much for the information, alligoat. A gen 1575 is too expensive for now. Maybe in a pair of months. Un abrazo, Carlos

Hi, first of all I want to thank all the members that have replied to my noob questions by PM. There are a lot of great guys in this forum. I've never post in The Rolex Area before, because since I discovered RWG I've been interested in other brands: Omega, Breitling, Bell and Ross and of course Panerai. I've bought lots of watches: reps, super reps, mega guachi super reps and I've got some great full modded Pannies, by friends as Vaccum and Finepics. Even so my first rep was a green bezel sub. No idea if it is accurate or not. I like it and it's the important thing for me. During last days, and after reading some of your great reviews of vintage subs, I've turn again to Rolex. Now I'm fully involved in the search of the best parts for a project: a franken (I think you use this word) 1680. My first step was to find a MBW 1680. After some PMs, Dan in RepGeek (thanks, Dan, you're the best) told me that Paso and TTK can sell it to me. I wrote an email to both of them and Paso was the only one that answered. Paul looks a great guy and now I'm waiting for the watch (the new one with hollow mid links and stamped 503b) but here some pics of his gallery: After that, I started the search for some genuine or good aftermarket parts. A genuine 127 crystal: A genuine bezel and insert: A genuine black dial with red Submariner font: For the crown, I'm not sure what's the correct model I need. So I've got two options. A genuine first one, with genuine gasket: Second one (a genuine vintage crown that repaustria told me is a 702 model): For the springbars, another two options. Used genuine: Or good aftermarket: Now I'm looking for a good date wheel and a genuine hands set. If you can tell me a good source, I'd thank you very much. I'll send this watch to a modder for putting all together and the usual mods (drilled out lugholes, crown guards, etc.) and, in the future, I'll buy a genuine caliber and bracelet. I'd appreciate your sincere opinion about the parts I've bought (I need to know if they are accurate for the project and real genuines) and suggestions about what more I need and where I can find them. No worry to hurt my heart with the bad opinions Thanks for reading. Cheers, Carlos PS: Spain's just beaten Germany in the EuroBasket. Oeeeeeee oeeeeeeee oeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'd go with FedEx. USPS delivers via Correos (Spanish state mail) and the box'll be taken by Customs for sure (too big). BTW Panerai is not wellknown trademark by Spanish Customs so, if they catch it, just show a PayPal bill and pay the taxes. I'm spanish so, if you need more help, please PMme.

Gen forums BTW. No spanish rep forums known.

"Armis" is a word used in spanish forums that means "bracelet"

Have you ever bought from them? There're lot of websites with rep bags but I don't want to buy from an scam site.

I used to buy rep bags from Sash. Now he's out of the bussiness and I need to find a good Dior Gaucho rep to a gift for my sister. I bought one from Sash for my GF and they both (my sister an my girlfriend) love it. In september it's my sister's birthday and she's asked me one. Do you know any confidence dealer that sells this kind of items? Thanks for your help.

Two more for me if I'm not late

Nice pics and watch. Thanks for sharing

Try Greg Stephens: or Mario Paci:

Ask Vaccum or another modder for a vintage lume. I don't know if the gen PAM036 had a single AR or not. Again, ask Vac or Flav. It's a great watch. Congrats

My Andrew FER002 on a custom Mario Paci's Private Stock in Cognac Thanks for looking

My Davidsen PAM113H on a Greg Stevens' Crazy Horse Thanks for looking

My Davidsen so called "ultimate" PAM112H on a Greg Stevens Naturale Thanks for looking
