I'll use two watches and some extra parts to make it. One ttw pro hunter will be used for the case. The black I keep will be protected with a thick vanish, and the rest will be sanded and polished. It won't be easy !!! About the bezel, I'm thinking of adding one bright colors. It this point I like the blue better... It definitly won't be a daily beater : more like a show piece !!!

I love the 116610, but almost everyone has one already. Seing at least 2 or 3 guys every day in the street wearing this watch kind of dulls my enthusiasm for it. So I thought of this customisation : somehow inspired by what other brands do with rubber and steel. This make a difference with the all black Pro Hunter and followers, and sets it apart from the rest I believe... What do you think? I'm planning on making this using parts from BP 116610, TC and Noob 116610.... Any thougth welcome !!! (pic below is just PS work...)

Hi all, has anyone tried to fit the "555" stamped end link Wholesale Outlet retails on the bay on a 62xx case? It's to fit a 7205 bracelet. I'll erase that stupid 555 and leave it blank... Thanks !!!

What I'm going to do, is ask my friend to send me pics of the bands she has in store right now. And I'll make a post in the sales section this week end.

The more modding the more fun !!! I have a stock of 5 DW dayto cases... All good one awaiting for good dials ! The rest is easy to find....

I know, but fitted into a modded DW case..... Replace the hands, gen bracelet, etc... All I'm looking at is the dial here. My 6238 looked crap when I bought it !

speaking of good dials for 7750 mvt, check this out : http://www.repliques-montres.net/rolex-pre-daytona-chronograph-asia-valjoux-7750-movement-with-white-dial-vintage-edition_25130.html http://www.repliques-montres.net/rolex-daytona-chronograph-ref-6034-with-asia-valjoux-7750-movement-vintage-edition_25238.html http://www.repliques-montres.net/rolex-daytona-chronograph-ref-6034-asia-valjoux-7750-movement-vintage-edition_25239.html I wonder if it's safe to buy from them.... Any one?

Lucky you to have a cartel dial for 7750 mvt !!!! I ignored those when they were available because of the ugly case... I did not think of fitting it into a DW case back then. Great watch you got here !!!!!

I believe so. I find it fairly priced. I ordered one already, and I should have it shortly. I'll post some pics in the panerai area...

Here are two models they have in stock. Each is 120 usd.

Regardless of brand, model, color, etc.... If they have the matrix and the leather (alli or other) in stock. If it is special, then it is 100 pcs of one design. 1. Rolojack 1 x radiomir alligator brown; 1 x radiomir calf brown 2. Canadianedge 1 x 5004 alligator brown; 1 x 5004 alligator black 3. sgtguk 1 x 3717 black 4. cus+om 1) 1 x black allligator with black stitch for IWC 3717; 1 x green alligator with black stitch for IWC 3717; 1 x black alligator with black stitch for Pams; 1 x tan alligator with black stitch for Pams (depending on tan colour tone); 1 x AP ROO strap, if available.

You are totally right : very rare. But hell, if we make our watches it's to dream... I'd rather dream big. Plus, I had it for 2 years with the smooth bezel, and it did not get much wrist time. Too flat, too small... Plain. I really re fell in love with it when I saw it with the graduated bezel! When it comes to personal taste, there is no more reasoning. It's a very personal opinion for a very personal watch. Thanks for your comments !!!

the guy who refinishes hands is rollie near alabang right? I found a watchsmith in Quiapo who did many small jobs for me. Rivet bracelets repairs, remaking small parts, etc.... dirty workshop, but good hands.

No rules when it comes to vintage rollies freddy. Christies sold one just like this last year. 6238 with 300 gr bezel fitted since new. Original buyers were asking customisations on many chronograph models in the 60's and 70's. It was rather commun. One like mine is actually pictured in the Rolex unauthorized history (that huge grey cover book)

It's a mix and match of many watches.... cartel mid case, totally re-engined to fit a DW bezel and match the gen size and details. caseback from Vietnam, Venus mvt, custom made subdial hands in Philippines, gen singer coronet, etc.... Not prfect, but better than the average.

I just wanted to share a few pictures of my 6238. I know it's not the most desirable watch around here, but still : to me it is one of the most classy !!! Mostly fitted with the graduated bezel.

I got an answer from the maker today. They have stocks of Hublot straps, but in leather only, no alligator.... No straps for AP. I requested a pic of the Hublot strap

Either silk street (xiushui) or pearl market (hongqiao) I guess.... There are no other place unless you know the high end rep dealers addresses hidden in the Hutongs. But that's not the kind of stuff they carry !!!! Only High end rep and they are rather expensive. Normal price for this rep is around 500 RMB. Cheers !!

Shall we make a list at this point? if we are enough, I'll get back to the maker and we'll see about he deal we can have. 1. Rolojack 1 x radiomir alligator brown; 1 x radiomir calf brown 2. Canadianedge 1 x 5004 alligator brown; 1 x 5004 alligator black 3. sgtguk 1 x 3717 black

They make for Panerai too, with rep buckle and rep panerai packaging....; They have stocks for Radiomir alligator strap in black... And plenty designs for 24mm pannies.

Noted !!! Anyone else?

Franken.....

Finding nice genuine alligator straps for our Big Pilots at a reasonable price is a problem most of us encounter I believe.... No rep, or used gen strap can give me satisfaction, and I won't pay 400+ euros for a strap I'll have to change a year or two later.... I found a maker in China who is offering to make gen american alligator straps for apx 100 euros per strap, with all markings, if a minimum order of 50 straps is placed at once. I for one would buy two : a black and a brown, but I'm short of 48 straps here. I have purchased one first strap from them to see if the quality is good enough, and I must say I was very pleased when I got it. I posted pics below of my 5002 to share with you. I tried to catch all angles to clearly show all the details of the strap, the quality of the rubber finishing and the stitching. The marking could be improved, but overall this strap is a knock out for me ! By the way, they also can make rep panerai straps in gen alligator..... I will do the same post on the Panerai area later to see the response. Thanks for reading me !!!!!

Case and dial are stunning for sure !!!!

Yes, too bad they did not bother to make a good rep mvt. I won't mind paying 500 usd for a great 372....
