Which movement?

Im pretty sure the gen takes a 5.3mm crown. Same as ladies

I like the idea of screws for dial feet. But that's all

Same thing I said under general discussion

THE 19 FOR SURE!!!!!

Remember that no one recommends sending a watch back to china. For the obvious reason, it takes forever. What you should do is find someone in your city or country that works on reps. Then take it and spend $20 or $30 to get it fixed. Not only do you get it done quickly, you have started a relationship with a watchsmith. Then in the future you can get those minor problems fixed. Remember, it's a fake, you only paid 1/10th or less of the price of a gen. Expect you may have a problem from time to time. Your solution to bash a good dealer is the wrong one.

The eta stamp on a gen is very very crisp. As of yet, not seen an asian with that clarity

Only muddy waters song I know goes like this Whoa Mr Charlie, your rollin mill is burning down. I think that's muddy waters song.

You love that big crown,don't you.

never heard of a 2461 or a 2483. I think the dial pos on the others is 10:30 and 4:30. But I'm not sure.

Time set position

No choice now but to trim the end pieces. Take a dremel and cut the end piece. Take a black marker and just barely run across the edge. It will leave a thin blk line on the end link. Start by cutting that off. Then ck and do it again if you need to. Then bend the end pieces down to fit flush with the case and lugs.

Of course the pic is an example of extreme bending to show what I mean. It's always a good Idea. Doesn't hurt a thing. The chinese have been doing it for years and never had a problem. Not everyone has the ability or the tools to trim end pieces.

Here is a tip for getting springbars in the hole. Take a small pair of needle nose pliers. Bend the end of the spring bar slightly with the needle nose. When you put the spring bar in the lug area, take your small screwdriver and rotate the end of the springbar until it pops into the hole. This is a tip for mounting any bracelet that the springbars don't match up with the hole.

First of all, you only have about 30 mins to cancel a payment you've made with pp. Beyond that, you have to open a pp claim. That would be item not as described or not received. That puts everyones pp in danger. NEVER EVER FILE A CLAIM WITH PP UNTIL THE MODS TELL YOU TO!!!!!!!! WHATEVER PROBLEM YOU THINK YOU HAVE, IT CAN BE WORKED OUT. YOU'RE NOT ALONE HERE. BUT, IF YOU USE PP FOR A DISPUTE, YOU WON'T BE HERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE !!!!!

Looks real nice

carbinet2009 on ebay has a nice 2836-2 gmt. It works well

carbinet2009 on ebay has a clone 2836-2 for $135. It works good

Registered design dates it to 1979 back. Rolex patent for the oyster case expired sometime between 77-79. After that it was stamped orig rolex design. Most likely there is a serial number there, you just cant see it. Go to a jeweler and let him look with his loop.

I've been suspended at rep geek and people are trying to reach me. If you are a member there, could you tell them I have been suspended there and they can reach me here. Only do that if you can be sure you won't get in any trouble. Thanks

LOL hope not junbug 5150 Right now it's a suspension. we'll see

Brobert did not like the fact I was taking to long to send him what he wanted, so he suspended me. Who's next?

For some dials the mainplate can be slotted, I've done it. The datejust cannot be done. I can do it for one foot, but the other foot prevents the set lever from operating correctly. As the set lever moves to the date set and time set position the foot next to it will not let it move up. I tried slotting the set lever, but it was to weak after it was cut.

Either buy the right tool or take it to a jeweler to open it. Even with the correct tool you have to have some way to hold it.
