  1. Tnx for the answers guys!
  2. hi guys i'm sorry if the question I'm going to ask has been made million of times but the forum search engine is not helpful with words such as TW or LV... has the latest version of BK TW/wm9 LV the maxi dial and the correct hands? just to give you an idea, these are gens
  3. this is why i love rep fora, there is real love for watches and users are really happy to share their knowledge with others rather than simply showing off like in many other reputable gen fora
  4. @justlounging : nice watch there! do u think the CG from Sead can replace the one from DSN ? is it difficult to change or is it something everybody can do?
  5. big flaws? maybe the dial? should i go for a PAM024 instead? are those more accurate? tnx
  6. Finally i have it on my wrist and it's a beauty! Howver the bracelet is a lil bit loose on one lug and it is bothering me. So why not taking this as a chance to get some decent modding in EU (ie by domi?)? I'm thinking about a reluming of dial + hands and pearl modding ... Is there any flaw i shoul be thinking about? Any advice is appreciated
  7. Oups! That s my gen SD, sorry
  8. Not sure the gen insert fits a DSSD and it does not come cheaper too. Can anyone confirm? What about reluming the dial and put a matt paint: does any trusted modder do this job in EU?
  9. Hi guys so finally i've got my first rep and I went for one of the most reliable trader, BK! I've just got his DSSD and I'm impressed with the quality, I own few gen Rolexes and it's hard to tell this is not a gen too. First impression, dial look good, not sure about the logo and there is too much luminova on some dots...bracelet fits very well, there is no gap between the links, the bezel is not close to the gen but I have expected that, it seems to keep a good time so far. The helium valve is too flat. Am i missing any flaw here? So have a look at the pics and let me know your thoughts on: dial, bezel and pearl. Next step is: modding! I'm thinking about: - relume - matt dial - better pearl? - repaint the insert with the nail varnish following the DIY instructions anything else i should think of?? who is the guy that is the best for this job in EU? thanks T
  10. I am reading mixed comments about which ceramic bezel insert is the best. I have seen many DSSDs from BK modded with an insert from Trevor, but i'm not sure the latter is really the best one as the metal ring around the pearl seems to tick. So what do you think? which one is the best in terms of: - engraved numbers - pearl (and its lume) - color thx
  11. it's definitely a bkue dial as stated by the seller. I have looked at that topic and this is where i got the idea to build my own...however i need to find a better data wheel first, hope to get some advice here... cheers
  12. it seems few small things are not right and I wonder if this can be turned into a good franken SOH. if you look at the pic, the bezel has a different colour and the datewheel is a lil bit off set... so my questions are: - would be possible to put a gen dial on this? the movement seems to be a 2824-2 - where to find a decent blue bezel insert? is it possible to change it? - where to find a better datawheel? any help would be really appreciated
  13. always been in love with the Submersible 025, the waffle dial is terrific! However, it seems quite impossible to find a rep on the trust websites...why is that difficult? is it not popular or I'm the only one liking it? any advice is appreciated!
  14. A part from the dial, what s the difference between v2 and v1.5?
  15. Hi guys, I have a plan for my first franken project, a SOH with gen dial! it seems that a SOH V2 is not available any more, so I have to buy pretty much a v1.5 and have someone to change the dial with a gen. Since I'm in EU, i'm thinking to have that Domi guy in Germany to do the job, or do you have anyone else to recommend? what about the AR coatign quality of the v1.5, is it good enough? any reliable source for it? any help is appreciated, the result will be published soon
  16. found on an italian forum, you need to be member to see the sales corner...and fluent in italian as well
  17. tnx a lot guys, I may pull the trigger for this one
  18. i've found this on a forum, PMed the owner and I've got these pics. The watch comes only with paper but no box. Is it gen or rep?
  19. I wonder if a rep of the new Navitimer Caliber 01 is already out there. it seems very difficult to find one, maybe because of the open case?
  20. I'm happy to hear that she is not sending the same standard pics to everyone then
  21. I have just ordered my first UPO from a reliable seller here (don't want to say who yet) and these are the pics I have just received. Any comment on them? it looks nice to me but i prefer the opinion of an expert...or are they the usual set of pics sent to all their customers? ;-) http://img20.imagesh...d=img0171hv.jpg N.B. this is an album so click on the arrow at the bottom to go to the next pic, there are 6 of them
  22. i'm lookinf for a decent rep of this wonderful piece, but i've seen a lot of garbage around. Many have the screws on the bezel in a different color and the back is really poor designed. I have read good comments on the one available from WatchcollecterHK, can you confirm that or do you know another valuable source?
  23. Happy feet logo: notice how the "feet" of the logo, the "toes" turn up... happy feet! On modern Omegas the applied logo has flat feet like this: notice how the "feet" are straight.
  24. good to know about Replicamake. I was not aware of the second fact, the pics are taken from 2 different websites tho. I'll go for the cheaper then! thanks a lot!
