Long wait NYC area...................

Well done! Love it.

Can't agree big "D" the blue is just sublime , I'll take it off you if you do not use it.

Liking the blue one Dino sharp, less is more...............

Good healthy airing here. Consensus is the market will decide, as we all know these parts only go up that does not mean you have to "give it away two years later". Also sited as in my opening statement the cost in time and bad parts incurred in a big build again something that has value and should be in your figuring when you look at buying a high cost franken.

Fake , yup...............

Guys yes in some countries no gift /friends and family option. Now disputes on gifts that is a new one on me.

Well if so let us make it real easy! http://rwg.cc/store/ Just go here guys..........

Guys insurance idea sounds nice but administration is a bitch along with a host of legal issues.

Welcome !

And holo does he gave me the info, like I said some can get cheaper than others. I think freddy looking for vintage stuff.( I believe holo and I were talking more current models as to his sourceing.)

I will try to explain our position on above matter. High end builds are a touchy thing and I have done my due diligence. Having spoken to most of our Rolex modders I have found there are parts Rolex will sell unrestricted and those they do not, restricted. (some of you may know this but others may not so ....) Some have sources for them low and others have paid more this is due to access , if you can get from Rolex direct or have a supplier who does sell to you with a reasonable markup you get them on the cheap others have much paid more. I also have been on the phone with some heavy builders and they have paid prices on the high and low but in truth could not recall what the hell they paid on everything , I find that reasonable if you have 5 or 6 you've done as in this case. (I would not know beyond a doubt) I know I know write it down but some are not as organized as others so crap happens. This being said our habit of asking for breakdowns is a good thing but let's also look at the what the watch is worth overall not cherry pick a part or two you may be able to get cheaper. (did they who knows) Now it has been postulated that some always price on the high side and list their parts on the high end of what they cost in this we have decided to let the market do the work. Look you got no business buying a build for 2 to 5 k if you do not know your stuff and if you do not you ask around and research, your job as buyer not ours as mods. Now if a guy posted a TC with a gen insert and crystal for 2 k we would crush it but with laundry list of parts: phong this yuki that gen this that we can not get into it to many maybe's involved to make a definitive call. Now feel free to post in a thread if you think a bit high on something but let's not start a row you will never know what they paid and neither will we on parts, so keep it short and sweet. To expand further I have always felt that just sourcing all these parts and getting them put together right has a value all it's own, how many times have I seen guys post I bought this for 3-5 hundred but doesn't fit, how do you price that in. (we don't ) So look at the break down but also look at the watch in total in regard to price and more importantly is it worth that to you.

Nanuq knows........................... me I just keep it running!

Jack knows......................

Cavi you rolled the dice and made number best not to chance fate again and yes a big no no in the rep community. If I happen to be wearing a rep put it in my back pocket as I am walking in make sure security guy and or workers see me do it , then I walk up tocounter ready to try on a watch without them seeing my rep, on way out I slip it back on as I hit the door. Best we stay under the radar.
