New account with 0 feedback and doesn't take PP over $10k. Can't think of a better seller to buy a 1655 from. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-Explorer-II-ref-1655-Steve-McQueen-Orange-Hand-/281137728533?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item41751d4c15

I missed the 1655 aftermarket bezel listing from watchguyusa2 on the bay. Looks like he's no longer selling it. What other options do I have for an upgrade bezel that fits the Josh case? Thanks!

    I think the seller is just posting gen pics from somewhere hoping to pull a fast one on some idiot out there. All he needs is just one hit and makes $6k out of nothing.

    That's a sigh of relief because if a fake looks this good the whole world will get scammed.

    Is this a rep because it looks pretty good to me?

Are you talking about the aftermarket 1655 bezel from watchguyusa2 on the bay? The Josh case will take gen crystal so the inner diameter should fit but I'm not sure about the outer diameter though.

Which bezel with proper flat 4 font is compatible with the Josh 1655 case? Mine is the A21j lowbeat with the T Swiss < 25 T dial version. Thanks!

I have a vintage rep with lowbeat A21j. The DW is acting up. It will date change at around 12am but misaligns with the DW window from time to time. Is this normal given it's a cheap movement? Does it take a lot of power out of the reserve to do the date change because the DW misalignment issue seems to happen more often whenever I don't wear the watch for a full day. Thanks!

I'm in Irvine also. Please PM me. I'm looking for a rep friendly smith near the area. Thanks!

Where can I get the case, dial, etc. for this 6542 build? Thanks!

The A21j on mine is not very good. It's running too fast (~1 min gain/day) and the DW won't do full changeover from time to time. Is there any better movement that will fit if I want to keep the existing hands? Thanks!

Are you going to get some more? I'm interested.

Is there a source for this gen xtal in the US?

Wow! The gen xtal made a world of difference!

I noticed the "Explorer II" font is off on the Josh 1655 A21j. Will the gen 1655 dial fit the case and movement? Where can I buy the silver DW for the A21j? Thanks!

Is it down again? It's asking for a license number.

I think it's OK for a woman to wear a big watch like a bracelet.

I thought the latest version of 3717 comes with double AR already. Does the stock AR leave more to be desired?

I must have the watch in 3 weeks as I'm moving. Is it safe to order now without delay if I go for EMS? Thanks!

I'm thinking about picking it up. Does it look like a high quality watch in person to the untrained eyes even though it has a lot of flaws or the fit and finish is a step down from other higher end reps from the cartel? Thanks!

BTW, does IWC rep have a much lower chance of getting called out?

Yours look fine but the lugs are going to stick out on my 6" wrist at 50mm lug to lug. Is there any IWC rep that is a bit smaller?

I have 6" wrist. Do you think the 3717 will wear too big? Does anyone have the lugs measurement (north pole to south pole)? BTW, is it easy to remove the SS bracelet? I think it looks better with leather strap. Thanks!

How much is the used gen?
