Dial is flush to the movement and no areas looking out of place. It seems the movement sits too high in the case. Even the movement screws are out tobthe last thread to keep the movement in place. Odd.. I'll try fitting it again and see what happens. Cheers and thanks fellas -

Stem height is off on the dial side. -
Hey guys, i purchased this watch about a year ago as a TC sub. It looks and feels great in person aside from the bezel being stiff and missing the clicking. (Seller disclosed this prior) it came with a TC case with a TC insert in it and apparently the one in the watch is a gen and so is the crystal and crown. I took out the "TC" dial movement and stuff and installed a gen movement dial and hands.. but the crown wasn't sitting right in the case when not screwed in. Odd as it looks the right height from a quick look. The case is sterile between lugs and markings in the case are great. But doesn't seem to fit a gen movement for height. Can anyone tell me what this actually is ? It's not fitting my gen movement so I'm getting rid of it if I can identify it. Going to buy a V7 TC for the parts.

You must sell me this !! Lol that is beautiful !!

Not quite sure how much, I'd say roughly $3k I don't really keep track. $2k for the serviced 3135 $800 for the plat dial $140 hands $100 crown $?? Tube ( I have a few of them kicking about ) $175 gen crystal bought the 16622 with a serviced and modded yuki movement. I think that cost me $850 but I have the movement now sitting in my watch box. So if we add the above up we are closer to $3500+

Hey guys, out of your experience with the dealers, who would you say is the fastest to get a watch to North America. I need a noob V6s ASAP. I messed mine up removing the bezel and it's driving me nuts and I hate that I have this build just sitting there now waiting a new case. also a quick question. I have a v6s now and out of the v6 and the v7 what would be better for an all gen aside from case and bracelet build ? Cheers C

Need some opinions, I just finished this yesterday. And looking for another set of eyes for small details that need work. I know I need Crown guard work, just not sure if I should just replace it with something far better Than the DSN ? i have Its a DSN newborn case, I have another that I have re shaped a lot but it has the wrong crown tube and I was lazy yesterday lol Rolli 201A dial Jacob 201 case back Matt C3 non ar crystal Swiss (apparently) 6498 with the proper pre V markings Dirk olive green shark skin strap

The case is quite dirty and spiderwebby will be polishing it over the weekend. I think it's pretty damn close to the real thing in person minus the small ridges on the polished part of the bracelet that I will flatten and polish when I get time.
-
Nice one ! I fubar'd mine mine up removing the damn bezel lol got some shitty scratches around the bezel on the case now. Think I need to buy another v6s to move everything over. Ugh .... Thats what happens when I try to do something with a watch after a half a bottle of Dalmore King Alexander III haha

Just got home from work in Africa this morning and decided to assemble my 116610 v6s Franken. Build is v6s case, bezel and bracelet gen Rolex dial, hands, 3135 movement, 704 crown and tube. Have a gen ceramic insert but didn't have the focus today to tackle that part being jet lagged and all. Here is a few pics

I have some decent 002/009 dials I have removed to install Roli dials.. when I get home Thursday ill have a look. I have quite a lot of dials I don't and wont use. but like everyone has said above, rollis dials are amazing ! I have them in 5 or 6 watches in my case.

My just arrived Marlin 127 "OOR" serial. This one has the full Swiss parts treatment.. Stunning piece to look at and wear ! Another amazing piece by Marlin. This is my 6th or maybe 7th by him. An awesome person to deal with ! And his attention to details are next to none.
