Here is a reason why you need to service any reps you will consider a keeper. Rolexman did the service and the pics. You never know whats under the hood.

Before - its maybe a little out of COSC specs and the chrono didnt work !!






After a Rolexman servicing - A rep 7750 with COSC specs ??  And I can use the chrono as I much as I want !!!

I'm going out on a hornback

I'm surprised they even took out the links if the thought it was fake. Most Rolex dealers wouldnt even touch it.

The only quartz I own besides my G-shocks.

My wife brought this for me years ago. She wanted to give me a nice fun watch.

Why don't you just buy a Yuki 3135 and get the project finished?  It sounds like that his the better 3135 clone...

That was my plan, But I just brought an gen sub. It seemed silly to build potential $1000 franken when I own the gen.

I have a gen maxi dial and a gen insert waiting on a rep 3135 movement to put it in so I wouldnt have to cut off the feet. I had these parts for two years.

No sadly I don't think I'll get a chance to use them.

So how long have you had a part waiting on a project.  

It won't work if you are swapping just the outer bezel ring and insert. The TC crystal retainer, the part that the outer bezel snaps onto, has a larger outer diameter than a genuine crystal retainer. If you want to change the entire bezel assembly, including the crystal retainer, then it will work.

Thats what I thought. Thanks 

Will a TC bezel fit on a gen sub. I want to be able to swap bezel/insert on my gen quickly.

I have a gen green insert and a gen black insert and this would be for swapping. 

Also will the same TC bezel fit on a BK/wm9 sub v3 ?

I messaged Dw earlier in the wee but he gave me a price near $4k for the complete watch...so I was obviously shocked. That is too rich for my blood. I thought his stuff was around $400...

- note to self - put DW daytona up for sale ASAP !!!!! for $3500. 

you'll enjoy here. Lots of smart guys here.

@cc3

it says you can't receive new Pm's 

I'm looking for a bezel for a DW 6362 daytona. Mine fell off and is lost forever. I would love to replace it but I just can seem to find one. It doesnt have to be 1:1. I'm totally ok with "something" along the lines of DW. 

I have a few of watch pouches laying around (the leather one not the suede). If I would have thought about it I would have sent one with the watches. You can have one for free, just pay for the postage.  Just let me know, Ill put it in the mail tomorrow.

Also I would get a single wolf watch winder to present both at the same time. 

I would have the pouch in the top and the watch already mounted on the winder. 

Maybe it just need to be cleaned and oiled.

Ha, I have over 50 gens and 25 reps. I think your right on track. 

Rolexman,

Since it was my 6694. I know what it looks and feel like. so here is my 2 cents

A very simple script would add a lot of class to the watch. Plus the 6694 isnt a very expensive watch .

So the potential value loss versus the joy youll give and brownie points youll gain, is really a no brainer.

Oh, yeah. leave the patina on the hands its the best part of the watch.

what about the nodate dial and the black insert

I say open the back and look at the movement ask also for the serial number to make sure the years match.

What the wife is wearing

No one ?

I have the following parts lying around

1)what project would these dial go best in?





2) what about these inserts?
 

3) what would be the best case

4) what would be the best movements

5) Are these decent rep dials and inserts ?

6) What projects should I do with these parts.

quick update on this thread.

Im going to get a nodate and the GMTiic

and if a tudor pelagos (-sp) becomes available at a decent price or a super rep is made. will get that too

A good comfortable strap is a beautiful thing.

With a little 16520 for added flavor...

 

If you ever decide to let that one go. Please give me first dibs
