Didn’t know it was allowed to place a WTB outside of the Sales forum.

Got these two incoming. A Omega Seamaster 166.067 (bought on fleabay for $300), and a very nice issued CWC chronograph from 2005.

Email Toro, and received 2 new screws at no cost from him. Never worn the watch though. Bought a gen 67 Speedmaster, which has become my daily beater.

Hi all, It has been a while ago that I have bought my latest rep, so I recently bought a AP Diver, and I really like it. It is a well build watch, and for the last week it is my daily watch. But I noticed today that one screw is missing. Where can I find some replacement screws?

After a break from reps, and started collecting military watches like CWC, Hamilton, Benrus, and recently I could not resist in buying two reps I really liked, but never have bought before. So last week I bought a JLC Navy Seals master compressor (with bracelet), and a ZF IWC 3714. The first one is a great tool watch, and maybe I am going to swap the Asian movement with a Swiss one. The second one is a great dress watch, and I am thinking about replacing some parts (dial, hands, crystal) with gen parts I already have in my toolbox. During my break from reps I have started taking classes in watchmaking, so the first thing I will do is take these watches apart, and cleaning/swap the movements myself. Happy to be back into reps, and on this great resource on information. I am still enjoying my uber franken HH 5514 which I have build with the help of some great guys of this forum.

I have recently bought 2 gen slightly damaged IWC Big Pilot dial on fleebay, and I am wondering if there is someone who can fix the damaged spots on these dials. The damage was caused by crappy storage. These were relatively cheap, the one with the damaged 4 marker was bought for $16, and the other one was $41. (excl. shipping cost) I thought this is a very nice for gen dials which I am planning to use in a franken project.

Sorry, I can't make it. I am in Japan around that period.

I could use a pack.

Too bad these are not made anymore. Would like to own one.

Damn, I need this one!!

Is there someone who is already using this? It looks usefull for our hobby. https://frederiqueconstant.com/analytics/

It is indeed a big watch, but it does not feel that big and heavy. The rep strap is replaced by a Donerix strap which looks so much better. The sandblasted crown is replaced by a SS crown from another BP, like on the gen.

It has been a while since I have bought my last rep because I have started collecting Mil watches, and my focus for the last 6 months was on them. But I was still looking at reps, and when I saw a very nice rep of a Big Pilot on RWI I had to buy it. This was a IWC Big Pilot Patrouille Suisse made by ZF. Compared to the gen there are a lot of differences, but it is still a very nice watch. (I really like the sandblasted case) GEN: REP:

Congrats. Been there, and done that. For me it is the most rewarding part of this hobby. Sourcing parts, servicing the movement and building the watch makes a watch more special for me.

Yup, first one is a piranha, and the second is a anjoemara (btw. taste real good). I am currently in Suriname, South America.

No watch for today, we where on a fishing trip in the jungle.

Welcome to this amazing place a lot of us call home. I would suggest start reading the link below, and make use of the Search functionality to find the answers you need. The Rolex section can be found here: http://rwg.cc/forum/143-the-rolex-area/

holy crap! Amazing outcome as usual!

I would like to nominate @misiekped as modder of the year. His work is always outstanding, and he is a great guy to deal with. I would like to nominate @Legend as crew member of the year. For rep of the year I would like to nominate the ZF IWC Big Pilots. The build quality of these are amazing, and I really like the working PR.
