Yes, for a 1970s model.

Thanks. Got lucky on eBay a couple of years ago. It's a Singer reprint. Unfortunately I have no idea who remanufactured it, neither did seller at the time.

That's a very nice build spec! Looking forward to seeing the progress Here's mine. Cartel midcase and back. Phong bezel assembly. Yuki insert, pearl, hands, T39 crystal. ETA 2846. Singer dial. Polexpete DWO.

Here's mine. I used a 1680 case. Yuki dial, hands, insert and a 700 crown and tube from Athaya. I needed to countersink and retap the case to fit.

Sounds great. Congrats! That'll keep you busy. Looking forward to seeing them. You certainly need to hold on to your wallet with this hobby

With the 93150 bracelet the 580 end links are correct.

Sorry no idea. Looks like it has the correct hollow midlinks which is a plus. The 580 endlinks are wrong though, they shouldn't be open to access the springbars. The springbars you have aren't gen spec either. Here's the WSO 580 endlink

No I didn't use the standard Cartel bracelet. There are a few issues with it, firstly the end mid-link has the wrong profile, it's too flat. Secondly it doesn't accept gen-spec springbars – It can be easily modded to do so though, something that needs to be done with majority of rep bracelets anyway. Thirdly it is engraved, for some weird reason there's s line running across the end mid-link that the gen doesn't have. A big tell on the wrist for me. I suppose it could be sanded-out though. But still the profile isn't right. On the plus side, the serial number stamping on the bracelet is the correct 93150, albeit not great quality. On the clasp however the serial number is 93160A, which is actually for a later Sea Dweller. In general there isn't a great 93150 rep bracelet out there. The Yuki with the solid mid-links, although not great, would be an option. Cartel end mid-link with engraved line running across it: Generic solid-link bracelet, better end mid-link profile without engraved line running across it:

Lol. $13,500 and it's yours

No the lugs shouldn't be polished. Basically it's terrible for the price. Even my rep is better.
