The DG Asian slow beat GMT.

Any issue with this movement so far? Does the GMT function work so you can tell the time in 2 time zones?

So there are no suitable aftermarket hands for the Josh 1655 at all?

I'm debating if I should get the Clark 116 or the gen crystal. Does Clark 116 have the correct cyclops magnification?

Are the hands on the cheaper 21j version interchangeable with the ETA?

Is the stock ETA 2846 designed to do 24h GMT like gen or it needs mod to do this?

My concern is the stock 21j rotor can be kind of loud with the cheap ratchet like sound and it's a dead giveaway.

I want to pick up a cheap 21j 1655 McQueen from Josh and do a ETA movement swap. However, the low beat ETA 2846 is discontinued. Which current production ETA should I get? I'm looking for one that is low beat 21,600 bph, with correct DW spacing and fully functional 24h like gen.

If I want to change the too long stock hands to some shorter ones, is ETA movement the way to go?

Thanks!

How did you get hold of him? Do you have his email address? He doesn't respond to the message I sent him through his site. Thanks!

Here's one. I'm not affiliated with the seller.

Looking to get a 1655 and then send everything to PB for mods. Which dealer sells the best case and dial set to start with? Will the GMT function still work if I go for a Swiss ETA to save cost? Thanks!

Want to change the stock chubby hands to needle hands like gen on my Cartel A7750 6238. Where can I buy them? Tried DK but he is not responsive. Phong sells the same chubby hands on the bay. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The shame is that if he has been more open in admitting I would have directed him here so that he could learn a bit if he was interested.

What's the first rule of the Fight Club? I bet he's a regular here.

Do they have an email address? Where are they located BTW? Thanks!

I've heard the Yuki can be a hit or miss in terms of quality. Has it improved with the v2?

I tried to send him an email inquiry through his site but not getting a response. Is he still in business and taking orders? If so, is there any better way to get hold of him? Thanks!

I can't comment on which endlinks will fit your case, but you can get proper-width subdial hands from DW. Alternatively, WSO has a set of 7750 Daytona hands, but I've no idea if they're any good

If you really want to get all the details right, try finding a needle-like hand for the running seconds.

Who's WSO?

Is DW still taking orders? His site is still up and running.

Has anyone tried 357, 271 or 371 endlinks on Cartel A7750 6238? This is what mine looks like fitted with gen 57 and 60 endlinks. The gap is very noticeable.

The Cartel A7750 6238 case seems to be a lot thicker than the gen. The gen fitted with 57 endlinks looks fine here.

The correct end link for a 6238 fitted with a 7205 bracelet is the 71, but you are unlikely to find a gen bracelet for sale. At least, not for less than a king's ransom. I have folded link 7835s with 357 links on all of my 62xx Daytonas & they fit well (though not perfectly).

Would that be wrong to put a 7835 folded bracelet on a 6238 pre-Daytona? Has there ever been a combination like this from Rolex?

Will these subdial hands fit A7750? The listing says they are for Valjoux 72.

As alligoat said, the correct Daytona endlinks for a 7205 are 71s, but I wouldn't bother looking for them. They're incredibly rare and ridiculously expensive if you do find them. Expect to pay about $1000 for ONE endlink, and sky's-the-limit for a complete bracelet with 71s attached.

From what I can remember, a 57 will fit fine with not too bad a gap. The problem with 57s is the thinness of the link relative to the lugs. You'll be seeing a lot of the mid-case engravings. What I did on my 7205 was to find a pair of 357 endlinks and mount them onto the 7205. If you don't mind the mismatched numbers, it looks great.

I have the Cartel A7750 6238 from Mary. I tried gen 7205 rivet bracelets with 57 and 60 endlinks but they don't work too well. The gap between the top of the endlink and bezel and seeing the ugly unfinished sides of the case at the lugs are too much for me. Are 357 endlinks compatible with the Cartel case? If so, where can I find 357 endlinks without breaking the bank?

Also, where can I find skinnier subdial hands that work with A7750?

Thanks!

I know Andrew and Mary do also.

Who's Mary? I don't see her on the dealer's list:

BTW, is there any quality difference in the watches you buy from Josh, Andrew or Mary? Do they all come from the same factory?

Apart from Josh, who takes PayPal for payment? I don't feel safe revealing my credit card info to rep dealers or using bank transfer with no recourse. Thanks!

It's up again.

He's just trying to save me a few $$$.

I keep getting 502 bad gateway error since last night.

Looking to buy my first rep. Any thoughts on these 2 Breguets? Are they accurate reps with reliable movements or ticking time bombs as the moon phase can get very complicated? Thanks!
