Watcheden sells them, but the date wheel has the wrong color and it has a quartz movement

All dealers supply watches from the same factories, at the end the only difference is the final price they would charge you. This means he could provide you any watch with eta movement you like. Having said that, are you really sure an eta movement is the right choice? Most of the time all you get is an old eta movement with some replaced asian parts, an hybrid in few words. There are countless discussions about this in this forum so you might want to reconsider your idea and save some money as well.

Hi guys I ve been looking for ager for a date wheel with red numerals suitable for a 7750 but i did not succeed. So i am thinking to go for a custom layer to be applied upon the dw so i can overcome the issue. Can you tell me who can hel me with this pls? I have found few old posts about this matter but with no reference to a modder or seller. Any help woul be really appreciated, tnx.

Domi is the best in EU. People here expect nice jobs in no time at minimum cost with a flawless communication... But this is something that neither Rolex can give, so guys pls set your expectations right and u wont be disappointed!

yes, this is a 21j.. the thing is that I have just bought a clark crystal, a clark tube with gaskets and a gen crown...I assumed these parts would have fitted anyway... although a yuki would have been nicer, I can make the dial "vintage" by myself, any suggestions?

OK guys, finally i have the watch in my hands so i have dismantle it to see what is inside. This is the case, the movement and the dial (29mm). I'd really appreciate it if you can help me to understand which case is it and which movement also. So the real questions are: - would a clark crystal 127 and a clark tube fit? - would a gen crown be good for it? - can the yuki dial be placed in this case? the one you can see at the moment measures 29mm

Guys the watch is still on its way to me so I will take some pics when I get it (the one above are from the seller), perhaps you will be able to tell me where it is coming from then. Now i am going to buy a dial for it, which one is the best in your opinion? Yuki Ingod

the previous seller shaved it and put a better bracelet, this might explain why it looks smaller thant the standard mbw. What about the rest? can i assume is a mbw then?

The seller bought it in Thailand, so it might be cartel or mbw, he is not able to tell me so the only option i have is to dismantle and measure the dial. It has a low beat movement though, not sure i want to go for a gen crown and tube unless these parts are necessary to install the dial. Anyway it seems this watch will keep me busy for a while :-)

ok, i think these parts are the ones i will go for.... however, how can i make sure they would fit? any way to tell before i buy them?

Hi guys just bought this beauty, but I am not totally convinced about the dial and other small details, so what mods should I get to make it better? I am thinking about: - yuki dial - clark crystal 127 - bezel with vintagized pearl... (from who?) what do u think?

I am about to buy a nice Tudor snowflake but thinking to transform it into a sub 79090 by changing dial and hands when they come available someday. Is it possible or am i missing something? Tnx

I see your point and I agree with you, it'd be better to go for a gen rather than spending 1500 bucks on a franken. However, I think I was not clear enough because the only gen parts I'm thinking of are the crystal and the dial. For the remaining rep parts i don't think I am going to spend 300$ for a pair of hands or 150 for crown and tube, perhaps I can put some rep rolex bracelet to it as I have seen the same combo on gen 79090 too. At the end I should manage to be well under 1000$.

I love the look of the Tudor Sub, especially the 79090 with blue dial. Since they have not been repped, I am thinking to build one. I believe I would need the following parts from gen/repped Rolex: (MBW) case, perhaps from a 5513 or 1680 ETA 2783 movement Gen 25-19 crystal hands crown and tube spring bars 93150 bracelet & 580 end links then I would need to find somewhere - blue insert - blue tudor dial is this the full list or am I missing anything? any advice about where sourcing the parts or what exactly I have to buy (ie hands, crown, tube...) is really appreciated! I have searched in the forum but I couldn't find a lot of info as this model is not one of the most popular from Tudor. thanks

Got my Exp II 42 mm few weeks ago from a TD, asked explicitely for the latest version and paid over 400 bucks for it. It lasted 12 hours on my wrist then stopped working, after playing with the crown it started but again it stopped. It's not my first rep with problems (in cases like this it is the stem) and often , when I have asked for an advice, i was told that "this is part of the game", "don't send it back to the TD as you will be waiting long weeks to get a replacement" etc.. and I was fine with it as I have received perfect reps many times so an issue can happen as "part of the game". However, i sent the watch to Domi who has just informed me that the movement is not new, but an old recycled one that needs an overal inspection! So I wonder: is it still part of the game to pay 400+$ for an old recycled movement? and is it to ask for the latest version when only the outer side is new? I still have the PM here where I wrote: "I want one in white with a swiss eta". am I right to think that I was a little bit ripped off?

thanks!!! anyway, I have just noticed that the clasp sucks! how can i tighten up a bit? i am afraid it can fell off my wrist!

who is this seller??

got a new Milgauss GV yesterday and I am overall satisfied with the quality except for the dial, which has not precise markers. Therefore I am thinking to mod it and I wonder what are the other possible modifications I can get to make this watch a real beauty. I know that the Milgauss is one of the best ones out the box but I don-t buy watches just to wear them, I am fascinated by the small details and the joy of enhancing a watch is priceless to me. So any suggestion is really appreciated!

I prefer Prandelli's IWC top gun rattrappante

do u know if Trevor is selling just the dial? tnx

nice selection, but he could have made an effort to get some names right (ie royal oak from audemar piaget??)

very interesting timepieces, they have been on my radar for a couple of years at least, I love the design of few of them and they have nice complications at a reasonable price. My fav is the Retrograde with power reserve : http://www.timeway.ch/popup_image.php?pID=1998 but the regoulatour is really fascinating: http://professionalwatches.com/assets_c/2009/02/1810_LouisErard_1931R%C3%87gulateurRDM_big-thumb-450x396-2284.jpg the new version of the moonphase came out last year: http://www.timeway.eu/2726-1866-thickbox/louis-erard-new-collection-1931-moonphase-2.jpg unofrtunately the retails prices went up significantly in the last few months (+/- 20%) but they are still good value for money

oups, obviously i meant luminor! my bad....

hi guys i really cannot make my mind up between 3 PAMs. I'm not going into the gen vs rep comparison as each of them deserves its own topic and we have been discussing a lot during the last few months about their flaws, so ... based purely on the look, which one you would go for? PAM000 : i have a gen 111 so I'd like to own something with a logo, however I was told the new PAM380 is coming out within the next few weeks (see below) PAM360 v2: the pvd version of the above, but it's a Limited Edition so it screams "what a rep!" even to people with a just sufficient knowledge about watches PAM286: i love the radiomir case and that blue second hand, although i'm a bit bothered by the faux button at the left corner PAM380: i know it's the 4th in the list but it's not out there yet, but i have heard rumors that it will be for sale after the CNY...but is it worth to wait for it? so any comment is appreciated, give me your opinion and if you have one of them you want to get rid of then PM me! ;)
