That is insanely beautiful !!

Finally after a long wait and a lot of looking I have both the 201A and 202A I wanted ! 

Only regret is selling my Rollie 202A dial. 

Both are reshaped 111 cases by W0lf and a custom PVD on the 202. The 201A is a Rollie dial and the 202A is a rare Dial I was told that not many were made. It's quite good but not as good as the Rollie dial. Both with Mario Paci straps 

thanks fellas !  i got tired of trying to find the perfect 1655 build or a gen 1655 that i wouldn't have to sell a car to buy. So i went with this one.  it was a spur of the moment thing lol I was feeling shitty because i found out they caught the prick that broke into my storage and took 8 vintage guitars, but didnt even recover one and told me its unlikely they will ever be recovered. 

so... went to my second happy place and seen this lol  

That is absolutely stunning !!!!! seriously amazing work !   Ive been hunting for a Gen that wasn't a gabillion dollars and its just not possible   these are my favorite of all of the vintage rolexes. 

if you ever get bored of it   you know where to find me

Misiekped is your only viable solution to fit it to a V3 superb Noob case
Add a gen bezel set and crystal and voila
But I built a full franken back In the time and the case specs can vary so give it to an expert to fit the movement properly ..

The v3 noob case fits the movement ? 

Inhve a V3 sitting around in my box somewhere I need to try this. ? 

I have a 3186 sitting in the noob chs case now and the crown stem is slightly off but I've had no issues. 

I have some 002 and 009 dials 

stunning !!! i really want to step my 6263 up a bit now lol 

Sweet jesus ! nice ones ! 

you live in Italy and you are buying a strap from Spain ?

A history of the matter:

http://www.heritage.org/defense/report/victory-tripoli-lessons-the-war-terrorism

That's actually a very good read !  Some very interesting history. 

This topic I try to refrain from posting on because I fought these bastards face to face and they have zero worth for human life if it means proving something for their glorious Mohammad. 

There are a lot of good points here fellas, but the biggest problem that holds the civilized world from snuffing this fire before it gets worst is political correctlness. My country is one of the worst for it and it makes me sick that every time This sort of horrible and unthinkable thing happens we get the safe speech like my weak prime minister gave today "I strongly condemn these acts" .. then do zero about it. I hate to say it but we need a world leader not to just start killing them or deporting them, but making them fear the consequences of these actions and by whatever means necessary make them feel this. 

Im not that old, but I grew up in a world where people in my civilized part of the world respected one another, people were free to believe what they believe but they didn't push it in your face. 

In my country now almost weekly you hear of another way the Muslim community wants to be accommodated. I don't feel we should ignore them but they need to understand it's give and take, a two way street. They want tolerance then they should tollerate and stop trying to change every country they move into. 

Many world leaders and and men of power in the past have warned about this... years, hundreds of years and thousands of years... but we are now blinded by our PC nature of not offending someone. somenone has to start pushing back. Not with the same violent force they demonstrate, but still one that inflicts great fear. 

Meh just my two cents.. I've watched people die in front of me because of these bastards.. I don't like to talk about that time in my life, but it's given me a great hatred for everything that religion stands for. Muslims are not all and people, but the religion they follow is one one hatred towards anything that is not in their good book. No matter what way you slice that cake it's still the same..

The gan... seller on eBay is Tonny's henchman btw. Be aware that some of the Tonny Dials are different from MQ's, or to be more precise: they are made to a slightly lower standard. E.g. MQ usually uses gen coronets and Tonny didn't have gen coronets his dials (though it's been >1 year since I ordered anything from him, so maybe that changed), the texture, print & ink of the dial can be good or bad (meaning the exact same dial design can look different depending on what dial batch you get).

 

This is not to say that MQ doesn't have QC issues (he does). No matter from who you order, I would insist on seeing a picture of the actual item. 

 

Also keep in mind that MQ's pricing is pretty random, if he doesn't know you and you email him, he will quote 750$ a Daytona Dial (I could live with a fake coronet for a dial that costs 1/3 of that). Also, MQ can be very stubborn, even if the Dial just costs him 1$ (hypothetically), he may not sell to you for anything less than the price he quoted the first time, or will just go down by 50$. He won't care if you walk away from a deal. 

 

MQ isn't the only one who can be stubborn btw, I'm almost certain that all the vendors of these VN parts have to comply with a certain price floor, which is different for each item category. If they sell below a certain price, they will get in trouble with their supplier. That may also explain why some members haven't been able to get cases etc. for less when they paid an in-person visit to the watch shops in Vietnam.

 

Do you remember the price your colleague paid when he bought it locally? 

He paid $100usd for it. Or so he told me lol 

I'm looking for a good 5513 and 1680 case @hologramet ?

When I establish a good contact with the guy I'll pass along the info. 

This case was brought to me at work, one of my colleagues lives in Vietnam and picked this up for me. It's gone now to have the bars removed to be properly engraved. Once I get it back from engraving etc I'll post photos. 

Apparently my new dial and hands are waiting for me at home also from Vietnam, but a different fella. I'm hoping the quality is  as good as the photos he sent lol

Cheers !
