Unbelievable...

Autowind module is mounted, also the rotor. Only the top module between the dial and the movement is not installed! I am also not interested anymore in a movement for me, I can't get the missing parts, and the dealer also not. The train is gone...

I forgot to write: Rolex is taking always the old module from your watch when you bring it for a movement-change...

No date change modul, no hourwheels, no date disc. Only the nacked movement...

I talked a few minutes ago with the dealer. The movements are 100% gen and new! They are ready to be installed, but they are coming from rolex without modules and datediscs! New price at Rolex is 1470,-

Yes, but the LV's is not a favored model! I am always on watch-fairs and I always look at the prices, but a good second-hand Tritium 16610 (that are the cheapest) are for far not under 2000,-

Sorry, but there were only three left...and they are reserved.

I don't know, because I pick them up tomorrow in the late afternoon. If something smells in any way, I will not buy them for sure! In the end it is my money that I invest, and we are talking about price ranges of a gen Rolex wach here!

Yes, at first about my money that I will invest! OK, 3035 movements are still available. Send me a PM with your intention for a purchase 'till 13.30! I will pick up the movements in the late afternoon. Price can be only better, but have in count that I have to drive 120km in one way and the shipment costs...

You were faster than me! @rosnik and slickdick Are you OK with the price?

Good news, I've called him now and he make me a good offer: For three movements I have to pay 2350,-

Hmm, now we are two - me and rosnik!? That's not what I expected, if we can get minimum 4 movements that would be for sure a good price. Is not yellowmen searching for a 3135 mvt? Anyway, I will check up how much would be the price for two....

I am afraid not, without some case/movement modifications...

They are gen, it's a part-dealer who sells gen rolex parts...

I can source brand new and never installed Rolex 3035 and 3135 movements. I think you guys know how hard it is to get some. So if someone is interested I will post it in the parts section. Price for one will be 900,-€, but if there are more takers the dealer can go down to 750,-€, and that's the point - I also need a cheaper one... @admins It's not a sales post! I want only to know if someone is interested in this, because here it's more visited than in parts/tools section.

No, of course not all gen parts! The case and bracelet are from a full-gold Yachtmaster, bought from Italy for 5000,-DM maybe 10 years ago. Only tube and crown are new and gen. The movement is a 2824-2 with taller cannon pinion and modified spacer ring between dial and movement. The date disc is from a 16613 Noobmariner and has a very good font. I mean, there would be no problem to install all gen parts, because the case and bezel takes gen parts - but if the owner wants me to stay short with the costs... Unfortuanelly I have no movement shot, because I gave yesterday the watch back to the owner. But if the movement is not running accurate, I will get the watch back to adjust it. Then you can have your movement shots.

You have to ask a modder if he can satisfy your wishes, but the 196 Daylight has to be like on your pic!

It's not for sale, anyway... Schemes heru nefer s:mech mech Bobby

Here and there... On watch-fairs here in germany you can buy a lot of parts, the only problem is the price...

A modified 2824-2

OK, I see there are no 16618 fans here around, but here the pics: Rehaut and clasp are off, but hey...the watch is over 1500,-

Sorry to say this mate, but a replica is a replica! The other question is - is it a good one?

Thats correct! Solid gold 18K...with gen parts!

A friend comes with his full gold yachtie to me, and asked if I can make something nice from the watch. After inspecting the base I told him that a 16618 is a nice solution and realible...but expensive! Only for gen tube and crown I paid 250,-€! ...so not no talk much, here are pics from before (gen tube already installed, from the whole watch as complete Yachtmaster I have unfortuanelly took no pics): Look at the crown position - perfect! But the lugholes are still to small: Date mag still too far to the right: Interested in "after pics"?

Fake!
