For today, a gen Speedy

Guys, welcome to this awesome forum. Please read this (http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/85981-hey-noobor-not-so-noobread-this-now/), and use the Search function. It helped me a lot when I started this hobby.

Congrats, another great build with HH's fantastic 5514 case. It is a stumner. Wear it with pride.

Very well done. Looks really good. Wear it with pride.

Awesome build, Mike. Wear it with pride

I will check my parts box, there might be a couple in there

I would be interested in a 201a. its time to start a new PAM project.

I am in!!

We are almost there, I stll need a couple of parts (new cannon pinion, and the case clamps), and its finnished. I cleaned up the case, replaced the plexi with a new one. And I have found a 1225 movement in a very good condition, but is was missing some parts, which I found via a great member of this forum. Here are some photo's of the watch in its current state.

The both look amazing

Past week watch, my 5514

Welcome to this incredible forum. As stated you can use triangle shipping to Holland which is offered by some of our TD's. I also had never any issues receiving (and sending) watches from all over the world. It happend only a couple of times that I had to pay taxes and handling fee for a incoming watch. Have fun here, and watch out! This is a very addictive hobby!! greetings from Amsterdam

Looks very interesting

I will wait with my restored (full gen) 6694 until January then. lol

My vote for the high budget category is DB's 666, and for the low budget category my vote goes to Kime's 6200 build.

Wow, nice. I want a LV!!!

For my next project I wanted to build a watch for my girlfriend, and I choose a Rolex 6694. The case size is perfect for her small wrist, and she liked the model. I could easily bought her a complete watch as these watches are not very expensive, I have seen some being sold for around $1600, but I wanted to build it myself. Just because its fun, and for the extra personal touch. I found a gen 1225 movement in good condition on Fleebay for a good price, and 2 dials. Next on the list was the case, which I found last week on VRM. The only issue was that is damaged by water, but the case still looks very good. My question is, how to start restoring the watch? I don't need the damaged movement and dial, maybe I could salvage some movement parts, but that's for later. First I probably need to check the inside of the midcase, and replace the crystal. Here are some photo's of the watch, and one of the possible end result. And the end result should look like this

Gen Speedy Reduced (actually, its currently just sitting in my box)

The best I can do is my Franken Rolex 5514 pre Comex: HH 5514 case-set Rolex T-19 service plexi (gen T19 Superdome is in the mail) Rolex 5513 MK1 insert Rolex 702 crown Athaya 7020 tube (a gen 7020 tube wouldn’t fit the case, athaya’s tube fitted perfectly!) Rolex 1570 movement Rolex 5513 feet first tritium dial Rolex 1665 tritium hands

I am lost for words DB! WOW!!

My CEO spotted my Franken Sub on my wrist, and he could see that it was not a genuine Rollie (he has a 1680 and 16610). He didn't care mine was not original, he was really interested how I sourced the parts, and that I build it myself. Just another watch addict.

Wow, that's impressive. Can't wait to see the end result.
