Paradise Island, Nassau?

One of the reasons I love vintage rolex a lot is because the watches have so much personality and character. The superdomes esp give you something cool to look at every time you check your wrist because they distort what you're looking at depending on the angle. I can't wear modern watches anymore for my own reasons but when I did I found myself trading/selling them way too often, I never formed a bond or connection to any of them. I was like you, I saw one on someone else and thought it was awesome, ran out and got one and then.. Meh.. Lol. As for the vintage watches, they ooze character and it's been really hard to part with even one of them. Doesn't even have to be Rolex!

The pics in his site are really old and need to be updated, his cases are a bit better these days in terms of the rear cg area. 2 phong cases, last is a 5514 that belongs to ubi and you can kind of see that it's better than his website stock pics..

I don't know the difference for this particular model but a phong case is special, all genuine parts fit and his caseback and inner lug engravings are really good. The metal he uses seems of a higher quality and feels genuine. The finish he does is second to none.

Imo phong's case is the best and worth the premium not just because of what you get, even though that's a big part of it, but also because when it comes time to sell it, the guy that's paying for a Franken build with a 1570 in it, wants a phong case and will pay for it. I'm one of them, I won't buy a watch with a reworked mbw or yuki case. That doesn't mean you shouldn't go for whatever you want I'm just saying that the resale market is diff for a phong case vs any other. It's not hard to sell for what you paid when it's a phong case.

Spinmaster is in Singapore and has that equipment, I'm just not sure if anyone has heard from him lately spinmaster91@gmail.com

Thank you

Nice to see the drsd again Nanuq, stunning color!

Age is irrelevant, confidence and demeanour goes a long way and dress well that day.

Really cool dial, congrats for finding one. This is going to be a really special build, I can't wait to see your progress

Again

No idea.. I thought you did that yourself. I wonder if it possible maybe by heating slightly

Yummmmmm

Cool! Looks awesome, I too love that crazing. I've never attempted it though

Happy Thanksgiving to my american friends

No I didn't ask for qc pics unfortunately. This is going back quite a while when I was still fairly inexperienced. I assumed that I was going to get what was in the pics posted on his site. I don't deal with him (mq) anymore but I guess it was partly my fault for not requesting those pics.

It is a gen band!
