I totally disagree with you. Cohen brothers are back with this one...

I have bought a 087 "La bomba" rep recently from Chronology1066 (thanks Les for a wonderful deal!) on RC. I believe its from the first batch but it was modded by Mark (Finepics). Actually I was told it was his watch. Again, his work on the dial is quite impressive! As you all know I only have eyes for vintage watches and to own a contemporary it must be very simple like the regular Luminors or Radiomirs. No chronos or other extra functions. I shot on this one thinking I would regret later but in fact I am hooked to it!!! My overall impression on the watch is very positive. However its a bit heavy and bulkier than the regular 44mm models. Feels like a 47mm on the wrist and a double weight. If you are looking for an elbow dislocation you should go definitelly for this one. The dial blue is similar in tone to the gen but the later have a kind of mettalic reflex as far as I remember. best, M.

Beautiful skin... I mean straps.

Intuitive thoughts first and then the forum does some work...

Thank you so much for your compliments. I feel that my projects would get nowhere without this forum and of course, without all of you. Major credit should go to the talent of the watchsmiths that have been helping me all along, not to me. But I believe we can go together much further... as for recent projects I am starting on with Angelus mvmts and hand made vintage like dials... I will post as soon as I have any progress. Hats off to Rolli. A real gentleman and some distance ahead of us on vintage projects! All the best, M.

What a nice project! Looks a killer to me!!! Can you explain me the part involving Lays Ketchup potato chips?!? best, M.

Oh my god!!! pink straps...

must be a 47 otherwise he would wear it on the index finger...

As an architect I know what you mean by that... best, M.

a true vintage look... BTW congratulations Rolli for stepping ahead all of us on vintages. And thank you also for the photo database. I am browsing slowly... and rooling at some rare pics I never saw anywhere! M.

Hey R. Thats AMAZING what you did to the two first dials. I was never able to achieve such results! Congratulations. I am drooling... M.

Very nice looking... Congratulations. M.

Congratulations for your work. I totally agree with Babola advice except the part that involves the ingestion of coffee. You will need steady hands to disassemble the keyless works! Cheers, M.

Hi Kai, I consider mine in better shape... dont you agree?

... and there were some variations on the cal.618. This one is claimed to be a 618 also altough it looks completely different from the common corteb

Hi S. this is the rlx cal 618. They were used on some early vintage models.

Hey Tourby, very impressive... keep us updated! M.

You are right. Good luck with it!

I totally agree. Even if you feel capable of doing the needed surgeries by yourself is better to let them be made by the hands of a professional... M.

I believe thats the famous Guille's project. It has a couple of years but I remember this project had a lot of investment. You can read about it on the risti. Search under Guille. However for such an investment the crown is far from accurate, the work on the CG is not anywhere near perfect and The case set used on this is from a regular RXW tribute watch. It may be a good investment... but not for me.

You are both right guys! But only now I have a proper Angelus mvmt so I will go slowly on this one... New year... new projects. best, M.

Hey Victoria, You may have to change of boyfriend (I do not mind :-)) but please do not give up on that sexy pair of Uggs... M.

I also do love pizza but like to slice it with my bare hands... no need to detach a rep crown to do it! :smile:

you could slice pizza with it....
