  1. Excellent build. I think this should be a sticky for those that wish to build mid-sized DateJusts.
  2. Flemming's Bond wears a Rolex. Hollywood's Bond wears whatever watch manufacturer bids the most for exclusive advertising rights.
  3. I emailed him a few weeks ago and then a few days ago. No response.
  4. Nice 79090! What Tropic crystal does it use?
  5. I thought he was selling Rolex postage stamps!
  6. Thanks, my friend. You are a true gentleman and scholar.
  7. Admin, can you please stick <sarcasm> before my original thread and </sarcasm> after the end of it? Thanks in advance. Now, where is that "rolling eyes" emoticon?!
  8. It wasn't meant to be arrogant. Sorry you took it that way.
  9. Long before most of you were born, the Rolex replicas that were available in the late 1980's were quartz-based watches and thus didn't exhibit the characteristic "sweep" that was associated with Rolex. Obsessed with the vintage Rolexes that we saw in an issue of GQ magazine, my friend and I sacrificed our Rolex quartz replicas to build Rolex watches with sweeping seconds hands. This is the result of our labour: It is a Timex that was transformed to a Rolex using the coronet from a replica dial and Letraset letters for the Rolex text on the dial. The watch is more than 20 years old. The watch was also "vintagized" so that it would resemble those beloved Rolex watches we saw in GQ magazine. My name is Superlative, and I'm an original Rolex modder.
  10. Assuming that these share the same ID and OD dimensions, of the Tropic 17, 19 and 21, which crystal has the lower profile?
  11. Anybody that buys any item for over $1000 from a seller that only has 1 feedback, deserves to lose their money.
  12. Nope. For a few hundred more, I can buy an all gen 5513 with box and papers.
  13. Gavidoc, thanks for the wonderful pics. They are a big help! My magnification is bigger than your 1680 with a 127. I'm going to try and source out a 144. I contacted Gary Clark, but he doesn't supply it. Do you guys know where I may be able to find one? Also, are the 2824 and 2784 date locations that far off? I thought they were the same.
  14. I just got my Clark 125 crystals and not only does the date mag not line up with my date window but the magnification is so large that the date nearly fills the cyclops entirely. I'm using the Josh/PC 5513 case. Is there any other crystal to try?
  15. VRF doesn't allow somebody to list their item as NOS without proof.
  16. Anybody have a photo of a gen 3717 dial backside? I would like to check it with mine.
  17. Time for you to make some $ off of your fellow RWG'ers.
  18. Fake. All the markings are stamped.
  19. Is the seller charging extra for the alleged ETA datewheel? If not, then what else is there to look out for? It's a rep!
