  11. Help - Monte Carlo / DW Case Owners

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    As everyone probably already knows, :secret:  the screw-down pushers that come with a DW Monte Carlo case SUCK! :thumbdown:

    I've only had my newly built Monte for about 5 weeks and this morning I wake up to find my bottom screw-down

    pushers is missing :angry2:

    The top one was giving me a little trouble when unscrewing it, and I've already sent DW an email, asking if he

    had a replacement for the top pusher. Of course no reply in over 3 1/2 weeks!

     

    So, does anyone know who makes a good pair of replacements that fit a DW case? :pray:

     

    Thanks,
    Dave...

    Thanks for everyone.

    but the part I need to polish not brush.

    to be exectly , its the side of a wm9 body.

     

    Not a problem. You can start with my method above and then work through the same process with different levels of

    sand paper. 800, 1200, 1500, 2000 and finish with 3000 and use water with the sand paper. The higher up you go with the sandpaper

    numbers, the less actual metal it removes and creates a very shiny polished finish.

    Check a post I did about my method: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/just-little-cleaning-135497.html?t=135497

     

    In case you can't read the link, here is it again. Its a very easy process and works great. And yes, go in one direction only

    taking your time. If the scratches are still there, just repeat the process until they are all gone. The nail file I used has 4

    different sides and some you can buy will have a different level of roughness on each side.

     

    OK, so I got my 'gently-used' Omega Ploprof last week. Tonight (while the wife was out) I decide to do a little cleaning.
    I use the wife's nail file to get the job done, so it's a good idea to wait until she's not around. OK, so with 30 minutes,
    the wife's nail file, my polishing cloth and my camera, here are the results:

    The clasp 'before' with a few desk marks:

    Now the 'after' shot, after some buffing with the nail file and polishing cloth:

    b2-1.jpg

     

    The project table (the kitchen island) another good reason to wait for the wife to be out:

    So, if you have a few desk marks that bother you, grab your wife's nail file and clean'em up.

  17. 1680 Build - Crown Question

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Dave, the watch you bought is a 16610 case with the sapphire crystal and the modern bezel assembly.

    This won't work for a 1680 build- sorry!

    So are you saying the bezel can't be changed-out for a 1680? What makes the bezel assembly

    so different between a 1680 &  16610? Also I should be able to swap the crystal, no?

     

    Still learning here.

     

    Thanks,

    Dave...

  18. 2013 Stanely Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks!

    Its tough being a Bruins fan this morning. Yes the Hawks were a better team this year and did a great job pushing the puck

    most games, but still I hate to go down in this way. Now we'll be know for the greatest loss in a game deciding Stanley cup

    finals. Everyone will forget the great ending to game 7 against Toronto for the Bruins. Now they are saying it's 'Karma' for

    the Bruins to end this way. The Hawks deserve the win, they were a better team, but we all just wanted to see a game 7

    triple overtime ending!

    I have a case set coming in. It's an older BK case with lug holes. I'm told it already has a Clark tube installed.

    So my question is, will a Gen 703 crown fit? If not, what is the best crown to get?

     

    BTW, if anyone has a crown laying around they don't need, plz let me know!

     

    Thanks,
    Dave...
