Well right off the bat Pbdad can do paint mod to make the letters on your insert more white and bold. He can mod your pearl and matte finish your dial as per gen. Also the bracelet can be rebrushed for a more gen like appearance. WR procedures can be done so you can safely swim. I am sure I am forgetting a few things but he's great!

Good I have one in route to me

One word...Pbdad

Is TCs V2 bracelet considered the best rep 93250 bracelet?

Clears that up thanks! I just got me a gen 16610 dial in the mail today

This has been bugging me for a few days but I want to know if the 16613 with Swiss t<25 dial ever existed on a SEL band no lug holes case? I've seen 2 already and if this exists. I have a gen dial that can go on my watch for fairly cheap

Almost did!!! Ya thank god that didn't happen...I'll take a scrape over blood shed

I scratched the hell out of my TT yesterday with a razor removing my retaining ring if you have another method of getting it off lemme know

Oh I know I gotta have cash on hand first!!

I have a TT v3 wm9 I am thinking of sending it off to be polished up and have scratches taken down or polished off but before I consider that I need to know what the gold is like on the watch? Who would be best to send this watch off to remove the scratches and do some routine work

Agreed I always buy the seller first

I'm selling my wm9 for a Sean case tc? Naaahhh

Currently I am looking for a gen sub for 3500 or below 4k

What shitty wm9 v3???? Never heard [censored] and wm9 in the same sentence!

We need to find us a bezel as good as sean's bezel at the least or as close to gen as possible

I'm just interested in the watch I can always get a box and maybe the AD can get papers idk

I would say your good to go

I'd buy a gen if I could find one for 3500 but no luck

To expensive!! What if you buy a gen xstal and just have someone AR it..might save a few cents?

Is it a TT insert if so I have a replacement wm9 insert you can have for cheap

Also I do see where all of you come from...I want a all gen sub but i also want a late model SEL sub in great condition not a vintage or early transition watch..if anyone sees a late model sub in the 3500 price range PLEASE! PM me I will gladly sell my sub reps for that. I know I could get an older Rolex sub a gen but they don't do it for me like the late model 16610

Again...not the money that is the factor here...if you find me a gen for 3300 bucks or sell me yours I'll gladly end this project sell both my super Frankens and go that route. I've scanned eBay and the cheapest late model Rolex is in the 5-6k price range. I already have all the gen parts from collecting and the movement won't cost me what you guys think it will cost as I already have a solid plan of attack here trust me, people need to realize that I'm in this for the hobby of creating the best sub for my personal interests...I'll stand out with a gen 3135 and can have my watch worked on by any Watchmaker other then Rolex but who cares they over charge and take to long. Idk why people are bugging out on using a gen movement. Sure it's expensive but hey let me do what I'm gonna do and sit back and enjoy what comes of it cause I'll share my stories and build pics with you guys isn't this what rwg is about? I want to gain a whole new angle with my sub here. I already know that using a ETA is the economical route but this is an all out experience for me and heck one day I'm gonna come across a genuine case set and presto gen rolex

I agree the Sean case looks great and I can't get over how well the bezel looks. The difference between the Sean case and tc is the money I'll save going with sean not having to buy a gen bezel! So looks like my plans are boiling down to a Sean case housing a gen 3135, dial, insert, crystal, crown, tube, hands and rep stuff will be bezel case and bracelet but that's super minor to me I will post pics of the build as I go

I'm thinking I won't need a bezel due to how well the Sean case is. Anyone think he would sell me just the mid case and bezel? I'll have to email him stat

Well I do see how this could be a very expensive If this were a project from scratch yes it would not be cost effective but I think what people don't get is I already have a genuine Rolex sub dial, insert, crown, tube, crystal, and I have a member offering me a recently serviced 3135 for under 2k so once the sub is done there won't be any obvious flaws like you would normally find such as dial errors ect.. I'll probably use a tc or Sean case I just need a gen bezel and I am set. Only 2 purchases I need are movement and good case and I have a complete watch ready to go.
