Hi friend

I would try here.

Greetings

@oktaydemiryurek thank you. Do they take reps?

Wow! Great result. I am looking a contact in EU to do a DLC job as well with a Rolex. Any idea?

Wow. Good job.

Good job! Looks very nice!!

I would be up with one Rolex case and bracelet. If this is possible?

Wow! Great build!

Love the movement

Looks really impressing - you and Dirk (and of course Domenico) did a great job !

Here is my gen for comparison.

- sent from my iP6 -

Thank you. I already heard that you bought it. Nice one mate.

Serious looking watch there, congrats on the successful build!

Thank you. Whenever I pick up the watch again to wear it has enough power reserve and perfect time. So much fun.

Fantastic! I will order one then. They are much nicer than the rep. No way I can compete with your build, but there will be a beautiful strap on my 5002 and gen crown, double-AR gorgeous sapphire and I'll have my watchsmith peg the power reserve at 5 days, look a bit more authentic....

That is good already mate. Enjoy it!!

So you mean stem size is the same?

It fits on the gen crown. No prob at all. Done that at my last Franken.

NO F#CKING WAY!  :drool:

Thank you mate.

Wow thank you for that great resource  -   would a genuine crown fit on a rep movement?

Sure thats what RWG is for.

A genuine crown fits on the rep movement. Done that before. Gen tube as well of course.

this just gave me a heart attack. well done! beautiful.

Had to laugh.. Thank you mate

Absolutely beautiful build! I love that gen movement...

Thanks a lot

Can I ask how you sourced the parts? The movement in particular? I would love to do one of these, but IWC parts seem way more scarce than Rolex.

It takes some time to source parts. You have to be lucky as well. Trust me. But Blake has some stuff as well: http://www.scotchwatch.com/

Amazing work.

Thank you

Thank you for all this feedback and messages. I am wearing this now for some days and it is an unbelievable movement. So much power and so precise. Love it.

Wow....

 

That is unbelievable. Seriously, unbelievable. Amazing.

 

Can I ask what you are into it for $? 

Thank you. Since many people asked. I managed to stay below 50% of the GEN price. It is close but below and that was my goal.

Simply stunning work

AJ

Thanks AJ. Appreciate that a lot.

Amazing build. Love the attention to detail.

Happy to hear that from you.

WOW, you guys rock!!

The larger gen DW font, the better defined hands - and of course the variable PR and the big crown do make a difference. Also interested if this set you back gen price or not, but regardless again - great work

Thank you. It is so funny how detailed we are when it comes to Rolex. But looking at the rep hands, date disc, crown, distance crown to case, ... at the 5002 there are some many differences. I will not call them flaws. I always have the feeling we are going way to far with Rolex reps. They are good already.

I'm green with envy

You don`t have to be. You bought my Deepsea and took it to the next level.

That movement is beautiful

Thank you

Excellent job by all. She's a keeper!

Thank you. I hope so. Collecting and building is my hobby.

Looking forward to that review. Cheers

I am unsure. Watchfreund would be in a better position to answer your question

But I'll try to get you the pic you requested.

The crown was not repositioned as far as I know. Maybe you make a picture from the right side straight on the crown logo?

Most of the watch was bought from member Watchfreund, who by the way is a gentleman and a very helpful member. I was new to Rolex, and he guided and helped me along whenever he could, even when he was on the move in USA. Thank you kindly A. 

You are more than welcome. Thank you for the kind words. Appreciate our contact and that the watch went in the hands of a true gentleman here.

Such a beautiful piece with the GEN movement now. Good job. Enjoy it.

Wow! Nice watch mate. Gen? Kidding... Enjoy it and welcome to the dark side. You made a terrific start!!

A nice summary.

With the amount of gen parts on this just take to any competent watch smith. I can't see why they wouldn't service it. It's a Valijoux 72 movement not a rep. They might come back and tell you, you have been a victim of fraud.

At that point just look horrified, shrug your shoulders and say "oh well I still need it serviced"

 

Good luck.

Interesting idea. But maybe also a bit to much risk?

Hi and thank you for all the answers. 3-4 months is a really long waiting time to be honest. Any alternatives?

Hi,

I want to send my Daytona (Phong case, v72, gen dial, gen hands, ...) to a service. Best in Europe. Which modder would you recommend? Domi?

Thanks

My wife is very costly and Polish!!!

Haha!! I hear you

Beautiful!!

Donations just see me .    :clap2: Just PM me will provide details..............

Of course it is you!! Dropped you a message. Cheers!!
