  1. And the guy is totally lost
  2. Now that's what I call a professional review! Congrats and many thanks!!
  3. My FRANKEN 113G Gen. Dial, hands, CG and case back Might offer it for sale soon.
  4. Stop making a laughing stock outta yourself dude. All this moaning and bitching over $120, a trivial amount in today's money that can hardly buy you a Gen. LV pair of socks. After shipping twice to you, he still offered a full refund after receiving his merchandise back. You seem to never have shopped online before. One more thing: Had you been on other forums (run by A***oles like RG) you would have been banned in a heart beat.
  5. Beautiful.. I wish I were here 5 years ago.. The forum must have evolved a lot
  6. The closer to gen. parts get, the lower the price of OEM will be. I give you an example, at least from my point of view. Unless you're a millionaire sitting on a minimum of $3 million in savings, It's wasteful, inefficient and financially stupid to pay $7,000 today for a Fiddy case set to build a Franken watch. It's equally wasteful to pay +$2,000 for a gen. fiddy crystal and flush it in a replica case when aftermarket sapphire crystals with gen. Specs are selling in the $150 range. Especially when you know that early runs of Pam crystals had the same distortion you see in today's reputable reps. It's wasteful to pay $900 for a gen. 111 dial and flush it in a replica Case when LH is offering a 99% identical one for 20% the cost. It's wasteful, gullible and financially unsound to pay $2,500 for a Pam 217 case back to exhibit an Asian ETA, when Jakob forges a 98% close To gen. Case backs at 10% the cost. Some prices are really over inflated.. The only gen. Parts Id be Interested in would be the movement, and sometimes the CG.
  7. eBay should be boycotted. Only in a few rare occasions you get something out of it. Also, it's a DISASTER for sellers. Only the desperate would offer their items for sale there. The reasons are countless. Now they take a percentage from your shipping cost too! What a rip off. What saddens me the most is their disgusting monopoly policy. Unless a decent competitor steps in, expect fees to go up to 50% sold price. It keeps getting worse every single day.. I try to support more genuine websites like bonanzas and ebid.net, despite the fact they're light years away from eBay..
  8. Those QC pics reek with photoshop makeover. I don't like that. If he's honest about his job he wouldn't do that. Enough said. Sent from my iPhone
  9. Korea town On the corner of 33rd and Madison. Sent from my iPhone
  10. Vietnam 1665 is by far the best sea dweller out there. It's not for cheap budgets though. The case alone sells in the $1,450 range. BK's DRSD IS GReat for the price. Sent from my iPhone
  11. I think the seller's response to me earlier this morning confirms the Dial is fake. I quote: He sells them by the bucket load! Buyer will definitely have an FML story to share as soon as he receives it.
  12. He's got offers already! : Looks like feet have been cut off too.. Someone was trying to flush this into an ETA? I hope it's just the angle! Isht Sent from my iPhone
  13. Gurus can you please double check?! Item no. 120870716966 Would love to hear your input.. I've been chasing a similar one for months.. Best,
  14. Thanks alli I was precisely inquiring about the 1570 So they don't need to match whatsoever right? One more question It's not very odd to see a 1560 movement on a 1665 sea dweller is it. Thanks ) Sent from my iPhone
  15. This goes to Rolex gurus. I'd like to know whether the serial of a genuine rolex movement should match that of the case (between lugs). Any inputs are much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone
  16. Sorry but I've seen bigger attached below
  17. +1 I think you need to wind it like 30 times for it to last 24 hours..
  18. It's a beautiful timepiece! Mary is one the best Don't worry 7th. Wear it with confidence! Sent from my iPhone
  19. I "think" the Yuki was designed to take only ETA movt., but the Phong was adapted for the bigger 1570. I'm not sure though, some guru on the forums can confirm.. Awesome build no doubt!
  20. Yes storm It's a Franken 026k Something like this: I like to show off the CG, don't want it to point inwards. Else Im gonna have to wear it on the right wrist :s which I'm not used to at all! Sent from my iPhone
  21. But wait.. you cannot rotate the DIAL. Or the numbers would flip upside down!
  22. Title is self explanatory.. but can a watchmaker do that? By rotating the dial and case maybe? but what happens to the movement? I'm confused lol. Maybe the lever would then have to point down like a Fiddy. IDK.. Any input is quite appreciated! Thanks
  23. Thanks for sharing. If anybody tells me Pam watches are overpriced, I can rub those clips in his face.
