This issue is settled. I PMed a mod over on RG to help any buyers that needed to contact him about the straps he sold. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

the gold really pops on it! well done! This is a Franken or a Gen?

That means a lot coming from one of the kings of big crowns! Thanks Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks, Donerix always does such a great job! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I <3 the way this man thinks. I think in a couple of years when I get my build list down to the point where can build a 6542 I'm gonna be going with the chinese movement mainly to simplify replacement.

Donerix recently sent me new straps and another forum mate's build thread made me revisit two well loved Rollies. So here was this morning's tough decision: VS.

Subbed to learn. I'd never have known that arts was the mainspring click! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

The guys are just taking turns wearing your new watch. Be patient, they'll put it back in the box for you after they're done Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Subbed to reread this once my new DWO comes in for my 1665

Tony is my go to dealer and has been for 2 years. A few hiccups along the way but he always has made things right and I still support him.

So just a question but with an overlay is it a replace,ent or do I just scrape off the old date wheel and glue the new one into place?

So this one finally got completed the other day. It's been a back and forth with this thing especially since it was one of Adrian's original cases with the troublesome crowns. The crown failed on me and I eventually sent it to Bsull75 who was kind enough to replace the inner crown maintube for me and got it working great! I finally today removed the original crown/tube and replaced it with one of adrian's newer much more heavy duty ones. Let me just say that this new crown designs is MUCH more solid than the old ones. I love it. I actually bought 3 spares (2 bronze and 1 steel) just in case these too failed over time so now that I've felt it I can confidently say that I probably will never need the spares (will sell on market sometime soon so if you want the old crown or one of the extra crowns I've got then PM me) Anyways it's got the following parts: Athaya 6154 Bronze case set (first production) 2 piece bezel Updated newer Bronze Athaya Brevet Crown Vintage ETA 6498 with gold finish BBB Display Caseback by Athaya Quizats Plexi 951Max Rolex Dial 39mm Athaya double pencil hands relumed by me and aged by me with vintage Cornholio lume. Gunny Mission Impossible 2 strap This one I wanted to haave the nice aged hands with a polished case. I aged it before and then repolished it up recently since I kinda like that look better. It's pretty stellar but I've got a friend who really likes it and so I'm considering selling it to him This project has basically been about 6 months in the making if I recall correctly and only today do I finally consider it "done." Enjoy:

I suppose it's just that the cartel bracelet I have feels so light and the clasp feels cheapy. Maybe that's just how the hollow mid-links bracelets are supposed to feel as this is my first approach for this type of build. Perhaps I should find a local friend with a few different bracelets to check out or hunt down a gen. Thanks for the reply.

relisted again: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-rolex-insert-pre-owned-blue-black-100-original-16800-/251320928378? smells like a scam to me.
