Wearing the 'Graph today

Very Nice !!

Looks amazing D

Keep in mind (not that anyone would notice outside of close up shots) that the 16800 has a shallower rehaut vs a 16610

Can you stick 80 ELs on this?

I don't see why not.  Just that when you flip it over, it'll say 7205 

It's incredible how much an extra 1mm makes on the price

Yes the fonts are all wrong

nope

probably should of asked prior to bidding

Dug up an old picture of my 16800

Love Love the 16800.  It is the most undervalued Rolex, a perfect blend of vintage and modern (if you get the matte dial version)

My first Submariner was a 16800, 7.8 mil serial. with a matte dial and I paid 4k for it... insane.

I ended up with a 1680 because I wanted a Plexi sub, but I miss my 16800 dearly.    

LOL. 

 

It looks as bad as your LV belt buckles. 

  My mama told me if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all

Good to see you've gone back to vintage.

Love the LV

time to start looking for a matte 16800 dial

I'm glad you got something that sings to you.
 

The hands are rep as well.

Case is rep

Dial is a gen MKIV dial found in 5mil range...probably with Tiffany added

3 million serial would put it in red range anyways

But it hasn't sold yet ... so..  What's the big deal... Ebay is riddled with fakes and frankens...

Caveat Emptor,,,

Fool and his money are soon parted....

blue nato day

I will start with my 5514.

That gen bezel assembly and insert completes the 5513 DNA (What I call the Scallop Effect).  

It's a hard thing to get right on a rep

Very nice pic @pam007.  The first thing I notice is the nice crystal and crown.  

Thank you

How's your Red coming along?

Looks the part without breaking the bank !!

NANUQ .. 

I just bought this:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Close-Press-Watch-Bezel-Insert-Rubber-Nipper-Tool-For-Rolex-Tudor-/261810891020?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf525290c

I'll let you know if it works or not when I get it. 

Great Pictures all Around!!

I don't know about Yuki, but gen insert on gen bezel = you need a press.

I Tried for about an hour before my thumbs went numb, then took it to a watchmaker near my work.
 

Oh and my sad story about presses.... lesson learned:

Oh and Dbane called me an idiot for ruining my insert....

HH do you have a macro shot of the 4 ?

Looking at the 4 in 40 is the key to figuring out these FF inserts
 

There are skinny MK3 inserts which were from a fresh printing pad like this

As the pads wore down, the printing gets fatter, like this:

Then you get the really fatty MK3 at the tail end of the printing pad's life.   like this kissing 4: 

Then you have the 4 from a Mk2 Long 5 which is skinnier than the mk3:

Then last but not least, the rare skinny 4 from early 60's ... some call this mk1
