Need better pics of 40 and 50 - possible fake

Agree - go saltwater fishing in the Florida sun year round and see what happens to your inserts

Damn. Killer.

When I grow up I want a Factory Five Daytona , I mean 65 Coupe. Saw one in Newport a few years ago.

Do you have factory wiring harness Lucas replacement smoke or did you use aftermarket? I think some are works of art, and the skill that goes into some is superb, but they are still not real and authentic - which makes a difference. A Factory Five Daytona Coupe is a BadAss car - it is still not a Shelby, badge or not.

Concur - aftermarket

Nope - counterweight too large - 10 other things but I will leave that one there

Two numbers Kissing, the rest are heavily breathing on each other while staring lustfully in their partners' eyes.

It is legit - at 6500 smackers US it is over priced on a black dial, but it is legit.

His cases / casebacks are fake - convincing fakes but fakes. There are a few threads on VRF on this guy - confirmed fakes.

If you read the current Hodinkee article (pretty good article) it states that all Rolex cases are hand polished - assuming the same for Tudor, you would get this. Bane, I assume you are using a mechanical method to guide the case along the lapping machine to maintain angle?

Lapping is an art and requires a tremendously expensive machine $4-10K and a lot of experience. a 63 PCG (1966 is after pointed CGs) is going to have less chamfer/bevel than a 58' NCG sub. but more than a 79 5513. Search a bunch of photos - I like to check hqmilton.com as a good comparison site.

Bevels (technically "chamfers") = vintage which is part of the appeal. Bevels vary by year to pretty much disappearing on newer pieces. The early vintage subs have the most bevel so a 6538/7922/6200/6542 have marvelous bevels - and Bane nails it here.

Movement is pink or brassy? Tudor 7924 or 7928 CG or PCG subs have the Rhodium plated movement. Non-subs and the odd 7922s have the pink movements and the rest the brassy movement Good looking build

Hey Bawstin - that guy is always high priced.

Remeber, here ya gotta uze yah blinkah

Excellent - thanks again Nanuq

Thanks - I was considering making my own if I could not source one stateside so I suppose I could do the math Any thoughts on why the thicker CWP one would be the preferred option? Thanks

I need a bezel spring for a 6536/1 5508 - any suggestions? Thanks!

That is a great insert and about as lovely as they get for that level of fade. I sometimes look at ones like that and think MK3 too as they resemble the superfats until you compare side to side. Due to the tool mark variations I have / had MK3s as fat as skinnier MK1s

I argued at length with the guy on a bezel that both would not fit (wasn't close) a gen sub and was likely for a different model No CG sub (shape was all wrong). Yet he argued that I was incorrect and that his parts were good. It took several conversations to get him to do a refund but he eventually did.

I almost bid on that movement for my 6205 (gawd I need some hands). The A260 is also referred as the Rolex Caliber 645 and as mentioned above is in BBbacks, 6202, 6204, and some others of that vintage.

Yep, MKIII

Could be moving to a new (hopefully faster) server.
