Hmmm...not sure if i like the all white look. It be nice if the insert came in black, red or blue options.

When you say stem broke - did it just dislodge from the crown?

If you have a caseback opener - unscrew the caseback and carefully remove the stem from the movement. Depending on the movement, you can place a WTB add for a new stem.

Not a good idea, at all, think about it for a little while and you will realise why.....

I have been patiently waiting for about two weeks for my new AP Panda to arrive and still nothing!

What really bothers me the most is the fact that ems still has the same update on their status from the first day they shipped it.

VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

Does USPS show anything? Have you contact Andrew?

My question was more in general and not me looking for a particular modder. I have had worked done in the past by some great members here on the board that are not part of the MOdders section.

I didnt know if there was a process that we have on our board on who can be part of the Modders section compared to others. I have used modders on other boards (besides Vac being here) since they were also US based. But i know i have read threads where people (newbies, etc) were looking for either US Based or EU based modders. So, again, didnt know if we had a process of who can be part of the Modder section, etc. WM had provided insight with his replies above.

WM - many thanks for the insight. Appreciate it. Again,just asking a question - wasnt trying to stir the pot or anything of such sort.

You have answered your own question. Because consistent ones are few and far between....unfortunate but true.

True, but there are some that are on other boards that are truly reliable - both CONUS and over in Eurpoe. Just some additional options for our members here to send their watches to when needed.

As a member on all the rep forums and this being my true home, im a bit confused on why we only have 2 modders on the forum? I know The Zigmeister is away (I believe) but only 2? I know there are modders on other boards where there sections are closed (due to shoddy work, B.S, etc), but still, they have more than 2.

Any reason for that? Not looking to stir the pot - just wondering why.

And something nice for you all ♥

Lost my concentration for the rest of the day

Wondering what watch would go perfect with her for that pose ????

Damn, looks like its going to be a Rollie weekend....just need to decide which one - then pic will follow

Ive seen the following rep at WE site. If i had funds, i would pick one up. Granted, there are some differences between the rep and gen - but those differences wouldnt stop me adding this to my collection one day.

My top pics:

- Seamaster Bond 2531

- Seamaster Chrono

- Breitling SFSO - older version with the more correct blue color

- Tag Aquaracer Chrono

Thats all that comes to mind ....for now.

Very sad indeed.

Stay safe Hike.

How about the closed factory SMPs? The best SMPs out of the box - bar none. Correct HE valve, pearl, cgs, etc.

I had many, sold many and now building some new ones.

Hmm....where to begin?

T - you need more Omega parts ?!?!?!

No more than $100

The 21j is a DG Movement - its a dg2813. There's an upgrade so-called high beat asian movement - DG4813. Your hands will fit that movement.

You're movement holder is plastic - so it can be used for an ETA movement. But if you are going to spend $150+ on a new movement, then spend another $50 on hands - why not just buy an ETA SMP rep?

Yes, you can either get a DG2813 or even a DG4813. Any other upgrade of movement - ETA 2824/2836 - would require new hands.

Take note - the version you have actually has a date overlay - similiar to a Sub. If you remove the movement, you will see the overlay.

Look at the gen and notice where the date window is? So, if you swap movements, you will also need to use the date overlay.

Hope this helps.

Also triplehd, some really great smps there, shame they had to be sold, its difficult selling custom builds, the buyers really can't appreciate all the blood sweat and tears that went into finding parts and doing the build....and you cant really charge for those things!

True - you should have seen the new tears from me when i posted these pics lol.

Lol Uhhhh the whole watch is gen (including the dial...). Case is the only rep component to this assembly...

LOL.

Great photos TripleHD. Its hard to believe that you sold most if not all of those SMPs.

Unfortunately, i sold ALL of these SMPs

Damn bills !!!!

Most of the hoopla with OMega reps today are the Planet Ocean line. Definitely a great watch without the mods - definitely kick ass with mods.

Not sure why the factories will not produce a new link of SMP? I see they are turning out the Breitlings, Pams and other brands, but Omega is left behind - very sad.

Here's some of my modded pieces (gen dials, hands, some have gen inserts, etc.) from the past - now part of others' collection.

Again, mostly junk, but if there's something that you like that can be used as a daily beater - go for it. Havent been to NYC since '04 so not sure if the selection is the same or if even worse.

Go down and browse. Have fun with it.

I wouldnt mind getting a gen insert - but the insert will cost as much as the watch But if i were to go gen - i would need the 14060 insert instead of the 16600 insert?

i could always just change the pearl to a WM pearl and be done with the insert.
