Gorgeous!!

Mario's straps are the best bang for your buck in strap making byyyyyyyyyy far. Awesome straps. Create combo.

Congrats - the cumulative of anything is always awesome. This is particularly awesome. Love the Gen 1030.

Exactly my point why a build seems so much more enticing.

Dude!!!!!! How is anyone supposed to get a good deal on ebay when you guys but this stuff on blast. Foiled again. I'm going back to trying to take over the world. It's easier than sneaking a good deal on ebay from you lot.

Time to start collecting for me.

So I see all these amazing vintage rolex builds. I love the 6538 but have to say the 6542 has my heart. So I start thinking it doesn't make sense to spend all that money $5K and up on a rep build. If you go gen, it will hold it's value and be a better investment. So I decide to check out gen 6542's on the bay and chrono. I knew the price would be high but I wanted to see how high. For a 6542, you can pay just about anything from $12K up to $65K and beyond. What was crazy was none of those watches were original or could be confirmed original either. Almost all of them had an aftermarket non-rolex bezel. Almost all had service dials and hands and other parts. I mean, I can see justifying the high price if someone had an all original with box and papers. But I couldn't see why there mis-mash of parts thrown together is any different from what happens here. Certainly put all these amazing builds in perspective.

Picking my jaw off the floor.

Holy 5'6oz baby Jesus...that is sweet.

Sure is. Impressive man. No idea how you figured that out.

I am just surprised, not sure why, there is a v4. Nice watch!

Not the best shot of the watch but I liked the pic. Porsche is a noob factory V3.

There's a V4 now? Not that I should be surprised.

Love that place, weather is great with the trade winds. Tubing is really fun even if you're not a kid.

Just came back from a full movement service and I must say when I sent it way if felt like it was running on gravel and the keyless was so bad I couldn't even set the time. Now it runs sooo smooth and winds amazing. Ohhhh how I've missed you.

^^^OMG I can't believe I didn't think to write that one, it's my all time favorite. I thought it was said by Dean Martin: "I spent 80% of my money on booze, hookers and dope, the other 20% I wasted"

^^^^ thanks. Had the strap originally made a long time ago for my 3717-01 but thought I'd try it on the -02 today for the first time. Like the way it worked out.
