Ive been busy have not connacted him but will do so right now since Im kindaof leaning towards his case Im still on the fence about which case to go with specially since Im going gen crystal and crown on one hand it be nice to save$500 on the case on the other if my gen parts dont fit ill be upset. Im going to write him now I am also at the point where Im tracking down my movement to make purchase already and tring to source a gen crown from a reliable dealer tring to get just crown has been dificult most want to sell crown/tube set. Oh one more thing I did, I got my complete set of tools last week, right tool for the right job and so forth =) pics bellow. Ill get back with mings reply

Ordered my first part yesterday a gen Nos T17 domed crystal havent ordered case yet.

TY genzo ill order a TC with 2.7 gasket thanks for the info

thanks for the reply janeto any idea on the gasket size for a 16803 ?

Hi im ordering a replacment crystal for my gen 16803 and was wondering if the gasket size is 2.7mm like the 16610 or if its another size ? Another thing is im thinking of going with the Clark since its $30 with shipping and ships from the US the TC is $75 with shipping and ships from china is the TC really that much better to justify the $45 diffrence and longer shipping time if it is then I dont mind going TC Thank you in advance for the help

Not looking for any particular watch just a new guy whos really gottnen into this great hobby and tring to learn all I can =) Only thing Im inthe market for is a high end 6538 build that im planning as my 1st project

Where can I find Sean cases Id like to compare them to the TCs

Hi guys maybe you guys can help out a newcomer Ive been searching on here and RWI for where to find a dealer that sells MBWs and while I found what it stands for Maria´s Best Watches and that 2 dealers are Luckyyy and Watchmaster I cant seem to find a website for these dealers, are MBWs still made ? or are the ones for sale are just left over from when they when they were or sold 2nd hand ? also wondering how these cases and parts compare to the other more expensive vintage dealers like Minh CWP NDT and Phong if you guys can directme towards a dealer where I can see what MBW are available for purchase I would really appretiate it I always try to find info for myself befor bothering the community but in this case i cant seem to find the info . Thanks Guys =)

dam thats a sweet dial think i like it more than the minh, you can always do what i sugested b4 return the minh and use the credit for a diffrent build. Either way they both are beautys gratz

yea i figuered, you already spent that much no time to pinch pennies =), how long did MQ take to get the dial to your door and what country are you located in if you dont mind me asking. I feel your pain I havent pulled the trigger on my 6538 project cause there just isnt a 2 line dial out there that closely resembles the original all of them have to little spacing between the 2 lines when your spending thousands to recreat a truely rare watch you want it to be as close as possible to the last detail so I definatly hear ya.

The ingod one seems to be alot of bang for the buck imo spacing looks off between the coronet and Rolex when compared to Mayers one but that seems off in all of them and oviuously they would have to paint the 3 markes that for some reason stayed white in that foto but oviously the print quaility is not like the minhQ but is about an 8th of the price im no expert but it seems like a good option. also subdial spacing looks pretty good and you can use the diffrence to order something else from MinhQ for another project maybee a 6538 case we were talking about that he sells for $900 =O, how long was the shipping from minh CC incase i decide to order my case from him ? I dont know your level of expertice but painting dial markers on a $1000 dial is a bit risky if you dont have the experience just my 2 cents hope this helps http://www.ingod44.c...lour-black-red/ $155

Thxs woof naa im not planing on building or getting one of these yet I was curious since I came across them yesterday Im still planing on building the 6538 that you guys all have been waing in on my other other thread but thatnks for the reply I figuered they were very flawed just that for the money they caught my attention =) haha

Nice Dial CC =)) hey since you guys know so much about this model watch ( I had never seen one before till I saw your other thread on your build) I figuerd Id ask. I was checking out the selection at Joshua/ pure clones yesterday and came across their vintage daytona page and was wondering how good or bad you guys think these clones are : http://www.1-pc8838....?page=1&sort=3d http://www.1-pc8838....us-p-10081.html they are oviously very cheap in comparison to a build from scratch thats why I was curious, figuer at that price might be worth it just for parts no if making a build. Once agin CC grat I know youve put a lot of time and effort into your build cant wait to see the updated pics

Hello RWG Was wondering if theres is finally a place to purchase the Asian Super 3135 Clone Automatic Movement besides buing a watch from Pure Time just to pull the movement from or is there another other rep dealer for that matter that sells watches with this type of movement ? From what ive been able to read and find I only find that Pure Time has them Oviously Im asking about the Super Clone and not the dressed up ETA2836. Thanks Example at : http://puretime.co/p...5-best-edition/

Hi I’m fairly new to RWG and if this info has been posted before I apologize for the repeat thread if it has not been then maybe it should be stickyed somewhere for future noobs like me to have as a reference. While most of my time on RWG has been researching vintage part suppliers for a future build I’m going to embark on and am now familiar with these sites and who they are it was equally difficult for me to get a complete list of where these suppliers where located on the web when I started so I imagine other newbies like me are having a hard time as well bellow I will post the site for the vintage watch suppliers and if you guys can help me out with the websites or forum sites for the others that would be great. Again I apologize if this has been posted before I just haven’t been able to find it. These acronyms are difficult for newbies to make heads or tails from when they first embark in learning and reading on the forum and searching for them result in countless threads maybe I’m just looking in the wrong place on the forum haha if so please point me in the right direction. Also if any one would like to add to the list be my guest.
