  1. How much are you going to be asking for the assembly and also are the afternarket ones any good? There is a reputable watch guy who sells them and he says they are 1:1 made
  2. As far as wm9 goes I was told the factory shut down and the flat S thing I am not sure. Now as far as mods I would for sure do a gen crystal, crown and tube, gen or good afternarket bezel assembly (mine came really hosed up and jams really bad at 50 position and feels rough since new) I would keep the insert though. And super lume which I left off to save expenses and wait time good luck!!
  3. I am trying to source a genuine or made to genuine specs bezel assembly and wonder of any of the members have a good source? Also where would I source these parts and what am I expected to pay for gen or gen specs aftermarket? Thanks and this is for my TW best
  4. Ah I could have re-phrased that
  5. Will do and I see no harm in putting a clone in the TW and the gen dial won't fit eta but according to my watch maker buddy his 3135 fits gen dial submariner will post pics on this thread so keep checking back
  6. Well all I can say is it's definitely something to investigate and according to the jeweler it does take 3135 parts and he has put gen 3135 parts on the clone.
  7. Just thought I would point that out
  8. To answere peoples questions about the 3135 movement the guy is willing to show me all 31 jewels in person before purchase. He says it's not the crap clones that are 25J he sells these clones for 400+ and he says their pretty rare I'll post pics for you guys to decide besides what's the harm in it if I have my 2836-2 lying around it just ads more character to the watch and he claims it's true 1:1 so we will see To answere peoples questions about the 3135 movement the guy is willing to show me all 31 jewels in person before purchase.

  9. As for the clone movement I have a source that actually gets a 31 jewel cloned movement that takes gen hands and gen dial and he is selling me a gen dial for 110.00 bucks for the 16610 and if it fails I have a 2836-2 movement lying around that I can slap back in there. Now I have a question about these crystals because it just seems like NOBODY! can get these date mags right. side by side the date mag on the TW is a hair off so its like 2.3X not 2.5 so is the cyclops correct just the distance from the date font to the cyclops off? I dont want to spend 150 dollars on a crystal and find out its not the crystal its the depth issue? please someone let me know!
  10. Received my TW best from BK a few days ago and it is an amazing replica. Very impressed with the CG mods compared it to a real 16610 and basically spot on as well as the pearl. the weight and feel is very good and I could not tell a difference handling the 2 watches. Another great thing to point out is BKs crystals are amazing to the point where the watch maker who used to work for rolex was convinced the glass was genuine also to answer some folks questions about this watch I did have it pressure tested and they basically ran it in a "submariner mode" on there pressure test which passed with flying colors. Mods I am planning: 3135 Clone movement Genuine insert Tube/Crown Genuine Dial Better bezel assembly (out of the box issues with this TW) Genuine minute second hour hands Gen crystal If anyone knows a really good source for rolex parts please don't hesitate to let me know!!
  11. Where did you get it from??
  12. Thank you but what are your thoughts to the quality of the band? And sadly I left off super lume due to cost and where do I source gen tube crown and insert?
  13. Received a TW best sub from BK yesterday and it is pretty amazing but as any watch there can be improvements. First question is what would be the best mods to do to the watch? Second question is the bezel gets really tight at the 50 position what can I do about this? And how do TW owners feel about the band? Seems like it could use some oil... and is their better dials out there for this sub!?! Thanks rwg!
  14. Looking to swap my DJ bracelet for the new hidden clasp style anyone know where i can order one!!!
  15. when I did not know about watches i turned down a tudor submariner date for sale at a flea-market for 500 bucks and yes it was REAL the guy owns a jewelry shop and was liquidating
  16. Not sure but I got into contact with BK and he is selling me a stock one with a little BK modding of course
  17. Not on the trusted dealers list just curious to see if anyone has used him before? I am looking hard for a stock TW best from BK or another dealer if anyone knows
  18. I really hope he does! Is there any other dealer with them in case he is out?
  19. I am basically just wanting a straight from factory TW best 16610 you guys know of a good place to get one and I hear PT has wm9? Didn't they shut down?
  20. I thought wm9 shut down factory how does PT have them you sure there not TW? If it's wm9 I'm ordering one right now
  21. I just bought a noobfactory all stainless rolex submariner from a dealer here on the forums and the bezel seems loose? I am not sure if this is normal. For example if i push on the bezel itself it clicks and has play but not a lot just enough to raise the question to as if this is normal or not? also it just seems like a loose fit all together? maybe I can have it refitted? I am not sure and am new to this. I have read real rolex forums and people are reporting this on there GEN rolex submariners? other then this problem the watch is amazing!!
