  1. I was actually disappointed at first as I felt that I had wasted hundred 50 bucks but it actually does make the dial look a lot better and just looking at it and at a Gen on black leather tge yellow is pretty fn close
  2. My watch smith ordered it for me said it was hard to find 150 installed . Gen does appear bigger as I just looked at it. I'm gonna ask about the bezel next
  3. Gen seawolf crystal added
  4. No idea what he did to this pic
  5. PIC HEAVY I admit I was crazy enough to Initially Get this dial made but have since given it to a buddy of mine and last week, we finished off the job by fitting a gen speed bracelet 2005(so no bentley:( and a gen crystal This alone adds to the weight tremendously. IMO breitling reps are transformed completely with a gen breitling crystal getting one for my wolf tomorow even after bein advised against it.. Recently found a watch I modded for a friend at a pawn shop(i was tipped) what a [censored]. No ones pawning a ticking motors with incorrect subdials but no ones looking at the subdials on this as their is too much to take in I'm actually jealous how Amazing it looks And wonder what anyone else thinks about it. Obviously not practical to Have $600 dollar dial and $150 crystal and 440$ bands put on a quartz rep but It sure is a looker. And the 7750s cost as much to maintain Jk
  6. Look at this on eBay: 40mm Blue Bezel Luminous Mark Submariner Style Automatic Watch http://bit.ly/10RXusw Rep sub on the bay Look at this on eBay: 40mm Blue Bezel Luminous Mark Submariner Style Automatic Watch http://bit.ly/10RXusw
  7. Anyone else have cool mods on their wolf as i actually wanted outside links polished not center as its feel a little rolexy to me I have seen fully polished but anyone know a bracelet that would be easier to to put on this that already has polished links and clasp and could easy matte the center. My AD told my i don't need a gen crystal but I might disagree. (Don't worry my ad likes reps and keeps to himself). He didn't have a gen to compare but I was at breitling last week and that yellow def pops a little more that is in glAss btw.. . I've been a bentley man til now but as the line hasn't been updated to much as Pam's and Aps have taken the new arrival spots on a lot of Tds. I am actually gonna try a bentley gt bracelet on this as I think it should fit. Would love to see what others have done to their avengers Seawolfs, supers, any..
  8. And the watch shop Would rather say how many aftermarket discount parts Can I sell you for 1/3 the price instead? I never heard someone talk like that . Hi this is a replica watch can I...? Usually people would say something like this say hi mr storekeeper I'm interested in new springs, and a gasket and crystal for my rolex ###### id rather have an original one then aftermarket if you can get it. Store keeper; I should be able to get both for aftermarket parts its going to be 90$ total the original parts are going to be 250$ do u have the watch? Yes I do , that's the problem it's not original Rolex (but i happen to know the original parts will fit) or do you think can see if they fit and if u do can u can install them... Doesn't sound crazy to me at all. if u ask For 250$ and up worth of parts and show your prepared to pay for them not sure how you are a joe on the st. And still not sure y anyone would Think a store whose sole purpose no matter what is to turn a profit would sell something cheaper . Btw .. It's always cheaper to have whoever u r buying something from to have them install it as they will charge u very little or nothing at all as I have learned this from thinking I was getting Deals on Ebay once for an OEM bentley tachymeter, and it Cost more for installation., have more examples but my bus is almost near my job.. And I bought same tachymeter for diff bentley at a jewelry store and it cost me $100 installed. Instead of 60$ and 100$.
  9. I was stupid enough.to get a MOP dial custom Made and on a bentley motors quartz, they did that for me after I wouldn't take no for an answer. one of my first reps and had no clue about movements or why a dial the same size couldn't be installed into a rep. That was like 4 years ago and now one of my friends rocks it and gets compliments everyday he wears it. 9 out of 10 people have no idea what the correct subdials should do or look like On a breitling bentley except us Or other bentley owners
  10. I never told anyone that this the way to go simply shared it as one of may routes people Can choose to mod/service/repair their watches. Lol I don't understand how it can be fishy, I'm not telling anyone to send watches here as I don't think the store will even want to Deal with that. But if you walk into a watch store and ask for say example a panerai crystal for x model number if they have it in stock they will show it to you and if you want it installed tell them to install it. Not sure how the scam can occur. If you don't want to buy a Pam crystal Don't buy it. If you prefer and aftermarket buy that one or not at all. This isn't some Guy building watches in his basement, watch parts are ordered and installed everyday. I was excited to find alternatives to mr chun and the Russian in NYC who have the same access to replacement parts as we do. I m Shocked that people think its fishy because you don't have to buy something or get if installed if you don't want too. And this once Again was a suggestion to help out people in NYC who can walk info a store and c pick what they want. Last year a store in that area got caught selling rep merchandise as real and it was a huge story in all the papers and they got In a lot of trouble, so I personally don't worry about getting an item not as described especially when you can walk into any other store and ask them if ifs real if a package And serial number along wirh your own judgement isn't good enough I never told anyone that this the way to go simply shared it as one of may routes people Can choose to mod/service/repair their watches.

  11. NYC friendly quick reasonably Priced rep repair I KNOW WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LIKE OUR a7750's or double ARd crystals. I finally found the smart watch smith who has to realize that those of us who purchase reps spend twice the amount servicing and modding or watches. Than gen customers. When I buy a 40k DayDate Presidential I'm not changing anything! Also i hate buying a watch and waiting the long amount of time to then to everything else I want done. I work a couple blocks from the diamond district where 90% of NYCs fine watches are sold and or serviced. After getting looks of disgust over 30 times no joke trying to get My cheap asian watch serviced, for fear they would break it or its illegalFor me to Touch that I kept looking and after buying a couple gens and becoming friendly with some Of the guys their i started bringing my Reps to one shop broken up In two stands. It's 2 brothers and 1 is an AD for many high end brands in the front and sells watches and one does repairs in the back.. I found that I could get gen crystals installed for about the same or less Than sending it away and waiting for it to still be a rep crystal with two coats of anti reflective coating. Same thing with movements, parts, you name It. Tell them what you want.. ie, you can ask for an OEM omega insert or aftermarket one, a dg4813 movement installed after a 21j dies, servicing all movements at very reasonable prices, tell them what you want and what u want to Spend and if they dont have it they can order the parts for you very quickly. Sometimes that means calling two shops down You can bring the parts to them and tell them what you want. They have learned to deal with me as we happen to be a picky bunch and have had them Do the same thing 3 times til they got it right . I must have gone 10 Times since I first got the ok and it hasn't been that long. I'm not sure they want the attention of their name On the board but any native Nyers or those who want to take a Trip to NYC to do some Watch work on their rep feel free to pm me. I have nothing to do with them And don't get referral fees or anything like that I was just sick of hunting down non existent watch smiths From 3 year old Posts. I love dropping my watch off in the morning before work and picking it up after or next day. So Far I've had movement swaps, broken 7750s serviced to working smooth again,almost every other movement serviced, replaced bezels, inserts, dials, gaskets, springs, and crystals installed some OEM some not and all my watches polished, I usually bring multiple watches at once to get a deal as their Machine makes the bands look new, they sometimes forget to do the watch itself so make sure to tell them What you want and they all so far look New again.
