  1. Case is fake (engraving is fake) Case back is fake (engraving is fake) Dial is fake (redone like you said) Hands are fake (seconds hand does not taper) Bezel and insert are both fake. Crown looks gen 703 movement looks gen
  2. Would be some work reshaping the lugs and drilling them. Alternative would be to source an ST case with lug holes. Also if you build a 16800 you need to build it with a matte dial or what's the point? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Damn that looks gen. Where did you pick this up at? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. 1. If you were going to rep a 6538 dial, why would you rep a service dial? Not to mention it's the least desirable of all the service dial iterations. 2. What idiot is going to pay $94,000 for a 6538 with a service dial, service hands, mk3 insert... oh wait some idiot who sold his energy drink company I guess. watch in question: http://www.ukwatches.com/shop/?wpsc-product=6159-rolex-submariner-james-bond-ref-6538
  5. Never get tired of the Big Gonzo !!! Excellent Would love to see a picture of your little Gonzo. I love the slimmer profile.
  6. I like Phong case and Tonny's Bezel Assembly. Great looking build
  7. Bane, Been away for some time. What an amazing build, as always. You never disappoint. From the bevels to the custom dial. Perfection. I was able to dig up some literature on the skinny 4 inserts from my old picture archive if you want to see them. Also interesting is that one of the literature is dated 1968... don't know if Rolex just used old pictures over and over.. but it's interesting none the less.
  8. ok does that say $55,000 for a 1979 1680? Are they crazy?
  9. Well there are no MK designations that I know of for Sapphire sub inserts (16800, 168000, 16610 all use the same inserts). Where are you getting this MK2 stuff from? The Sapphire inserts are 1. different than plastic sub inserts both in font and size. 2. much much cheaper than plastic sub Fat Font inserts. So you can probably pick one up for around $60
  10. not really. 68 case back is 2 million serial.
  11. sucks you're having this problem. I have always admired your build. You can always go gen. switch out the 1530 for a 1520 and get this case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-70s-ROLEX-Submariner-5513-case-parts-NICE-/391407581554?hash=item5b21b5b972:g:le4AAOSwZ8ZW6HDo Kinda boring but Gen is where all nice builds go to die.

    Hmmm

    figured it out. Thanks. Can delete.
  13. That's not a service dial, it's a MKI dial, position of the L under the coronet gives it away. Newer Service dials will just have the word SWISS Older service dials will have T<25 but the position of the L is far left of the coronet. Regardless the lume job on the dial and hands are no good.
