Sh*t! The 5004 has incorrect hands? I've got one on its way This is the last time I order a rep without lookin' at pics. My oh my, what was I thinking!

Demsey, your avatar got me thinking about Rya! Ahhh, the good ol' days Cheers PS. Dang99, nnnnnice watch!

IMO, no drop in the market when it comes to rare or popular collectible vintage Rolex.

The market is still strong IMO Great news for us OEM collectors but bad for those who want to gain access to the party.

I just broke down and decided I gotta have one. It's v3, right? If Lani has it and Stephane is thinking about it, well, that means I gotta have one too! Cheers PS. Mahalo & Salut from Euno!

Hey Lani, I'm lookin' forward to the pics & review!

A classic in the rep world. Congrats on your historical EE piece! Cheers

It's nice watch but I will log two complaints: 1. The 6 & 9 markers are not so nice 2. The typical slanted style bracelet is not my cup 'o tea

Nice pics! To me, the tight strap issue isn't so bad. I push it into the sides of the buckle and it lays down nicely. The little bit of struggling to get the watch on/off is worth it IMO

I think that the grey strap really sets it off nicely. PS. I own this watch and I absolutely love it. It's def. one of the best of '08

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but... This has got me thinking that I would like to have one of these dials I think I'm getting the PAM bug again after a couple years of PAM time out. I've got a 009 and an EL 005 but I want a vintage Base now!

Received the watch today. It is nice. I never thought that I would like new Breitling watches, but this one makes the cut thus far IMO. Pics to follow later... PS. I ordered HKTan's strap. 3-4 weeks delivery time.

Thanks bro

My mailman is on vacation so the temporary EMS delivery dude is too afraid to ring the damn doorbell. This is the 2nd time in 2 days that he's done this. What is the size of the Blacksteel strap? 22x22 or 22x20?

Jurgen does make nice screw rivets. He might sell them solo to you. He did for me about 8 or 9 years ago when I lost a rivet while changing one of his straps (the rivet flew out of my bedroom window, lol). BTW, you can make the shiny rivets matte by masking the area with painter's tape and going over it with a green scrubby. Works perfectly.

Mine's on its way now, t'was shipped out yesterday. Se

Very nice! Welcome to the perfect 3717 club

Sorry to hear the bad news. What separates humans from the rest of all life is our empathy for other creatures. Best regards.

I can't wait to see this watch in person. I got one coming my way Cheers

I'm a veteran customer with Angus. I signed up for the pre-order and received a confirmation email yesterday that the watch is ready for shipping. ...And the price was $1044. This is some kind of crazy joke. Am I the only one that received this email???

What a second! The quote I just got from Angus is $1044!!!

Looking forward to a nice 5004. It will look great next to my 5002

I drive several Bavarian beasts, but this is the only one that matters.

The damn sirens had me waylaid upon their little island again!

Don't refinish the dial. People pay big $$$ for genuine patina on Rolex dials & hands. Trust me, as a veteran lonnng-time OEM vintage Rolex collector, I know. The worth of a rep or franken is relative (???) but a nice franken with a vintage dial such as yours remains unique. Keep it as is! LOL, differing opinions can make a man go insane
