Omega

Congrats, nice built!

I would love to make my wife wearing a Rolex...

I bought her last month a lady Datejust with a rare diamond dial in a "like new" condition for really cheap money. Saphire was broken, hands were damaged, but no marks on dial, bezel or case. I replaced the parts and give her the watch to wear it. She tried the watch on and said:"Naah, it's too much bling bling. Someone could cut off my arm on the street. Better you sell it! I still love my Tag Heuer..."

And so I did...

Only my gen 16750, sold few weeks ago BTW:

Yuki case,NDT dial, 1570 and the usual gen add-ons

Great 1680's guys ....

Cheers

P.

I got a case some days ago from Yuki, I guess from his new source. It is the worsest case I've ever seen in my rep time! Everything is wrong, like lug shape (there is missing a lot of material!), lughole position (some higher some lower), rehaut too shallow, crownguards way too thick - and the two biggest things are, the tube is not centred between the CG's and there are between the lugs only 19,2 mm!? That means you can not put a endlink between the lugs without shaving it down, or the lugs (that's what I did)!

So if you don't have the tools and skills to correct these things, stay better away from Yuki!!!

BTW, there was never a 1680 case from MBK! Thery are all 5513 engraved, also the rehaut and inner case dimensions are made to fit a 5513 dial. I tried often to put a gen 1680 dial in these cases, but the dial diameter is too big. Only a correction on a lathe will make it 1680 like. On my next project I will use a MBK 1680 case, which will be machined to take a gen 1570. After that it goes straight to Phong, he should regrave the case to 1680. I think this will be the best looking 1680...

Also don't underrate the cartel subs! They are also very good. Only the short CG's sucks...

Does it have a gen like bezel turning system like gen (push down to turn)? What movement is yours powerded by?

Thanks...

No IWC experts here?

I take 5!

Hi,

I am searching for such a rep. Is this model available on the rep-market? Could not find one on trusted dealers sites...

Thanks

Congrats! And nice flat-four inlay...they get also very rare!

I've bought one, should arrive end of the month.

It should work. If not 100% you have the boot to bend the EL for prfect fit...

thought shipping was included on yuki stuff.

Not for germany. I think it was 38$.

I have hundrets of stems here - from ETA, Rolex 1570, DG, Miyota, and also from Quartz movements. But nothing works, the SA3135 stem is very thin. And I think thats the problem...the stem is too thin! Or maybe the material is bad??? Really don't know.

I got a Sub with that movement, so I thought to wind it a bit up because the movement stops. And after the second turn it breaks...

Do one of you guys have maybe a spare for me, 'till I get new ones?

500$+engraving+shipping. Around 600$...

Could someone please make a pic of his 3135 stem, mine gets broken and I need reference pic. Maybe I have something like this in my parts boxes.

Also it would be very helpful if someone knows if a gen 3135 stem works on the SA3135 movement? ATM I have only a 1570 stem here...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Rehaut looks not bad. Maybe even better with a gen crystal. CG's could maybe be thinner, I agree.

BTW, I am also waitig for my 1680 Yuki case, will post some pics after getting it in my hands...

Hahahaha, very cool video! Never thought he will make it, but...

I use mostly gen tubes. The material is much better, and there is no risk for breaking by installing (modder know what I am talking about).

Most comparable from specs are the WSO tubes. They are well made and have truly 1:1 measures. Only material sucks, you have to be very careful by installing it...

...but you know the stereotype of a "gen snob" in those forums, don't you?

No, I did not. Don't waste my time with searching or thinking about such people.

Stop acting like a hysterical woman. This was the first time I heard about you...

Arrogant babble.

Thank's Stephane,

IMO should such a post go directly to that people in face who are meant, and not like this in the first thread which comes across! Some of the members (like me in this case) could get bad feelings...

Don't know Freddy,

but if you look at the post history, you will see what I mean. I've posted some of my gen watches, in next posts someone mentioned VRF or TRF and then By-Tor gives his 2 cents...sorry, but I feel adressed myself in his post.

That's why I don't go to places like TRF... lots of [censored], and besides the true knowledge is HERE.

What should this statement in a thread named "Let's see your Rolex-only collection!" mean???

... I just don't like the pretentious, double faced people.

Who are this people? Explain me please, tell us some names!

Nice "gold"-box!

...and it's not nice of you. Here are a lot of members owning a lot of gen watches, and they are members of both boards. But that's not a reason to abuse them.

No, but you can't say the reason for your post were NOT because of my pics! Why you don't start it in another section? So I am not a kid, I know whom your post is devoted...
