I vote for this one:

Ready for Christie's...

Something different today. Not exactly my daily beater.

Ahhh, a Kingston. I am trying to hunt down one of these for a reasonable price. I am an absolute MKII fanboy since I received my Key West. The dial is like nothing I had ever seen before....Photos don't do this thing justice.

It is for a Tudor Big Block 9420/0. Regarding the rating: People are complaining that he does not have engravings on the case, which is obvious as it is a sterile case.....

http://www.ebay.de/itm/282031232431?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Still have a yuki dial and a swiss ETA7750 for a 9420 lying around. It is not a Phong I know, but I thought it is maybe worthwhile to play around with it a bit.

Love this Gunny...

Stunning....just stunning.....

Gilt, baby!

It is no rocket science to make a watch watertight and it does not cost an arm an a leg either. My first dive watch that I owned was a Russian Vostok Amphibian. I guess it was 100 German Marks at the time. I wore it for several weeks in dives up 41m and I still have it in some drawer alive and ticking. The construction is such that it gets more tight under pressure (at least until finally the crystal cracks). For those who are really interested here is a very interesting post about the crude but effective design of the Vostok Amfibia: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f54/vostok-amphibia-analysis-design-methodology-491757.html Especially interesting is the two piece caseback which is far superior in design to a Rolex Submariner e.g..

Ditto. If you compare this to the prices of some vintage Rolex models which were mainstream and "mass production" I am kind of puzzled about the 50k or so pounds. I would have guessed it to be more in the vicinity of 200k€. But as you I have no expertise.

I am in Germany and I just checked on my iPad. It is right there. First step: send money. 2nd step: Send money to family and friends. Cannot reenact the OP"s problem..

Excellent shirt/watch combination!

What a beauty. Have fun with it.

It is not a exactly a custom movement. It is a regular 2893-2 with an engraved rhodium coated rotor and some Cotes de Geneve decorations.

....before Invicta probably **** up the historic company after the takeover. At US$ 995 currently at Amazon I think they are a real bargain. https://www.amazon.com/Glycine-Airman-Sphair-Automatic-3928-191/dp/B016ZSZQX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474633042&sr=8-1&keywords=glycine+airman+18

TC seems to be fine. How site is down but he is still in the business. Just read the thread.

Love it. But can't get over the quartz movement.

Will not be of much help when it comes to the Datejust but you have come to the right place. A warm welcome.

Who knows what a sad story is the foundation of this. He claims he had bought the collection as a means of existence. That might well be true . The vendor himself was probably scammed with this pile of crap and now tries to sell it as it didn't work out the way he hoped it would.
