  1. IMO any of the blue reps loose it with the tone of the blue... Screams "fake" to me... The Rolex blue is beautiful and the rep guys haven't quite got it.
  2. Hi, yes, my Rolex 16233 case is still avail. Thanks! Geof

  3. There is a possibility that the dial is the original to the watch, but redialed. Doesn't mean it's fake, just redialed (not a great job if so). Also, that bezel insert, as mentioned, is definitely not a natural fade. If the seller is legit, do as other have mentioned and get it authenticated after purchase. If the seller is legit, they would either do that for you or allow it to be done.
  4. I have a UX. The gen Sinn rubber is excellent. NO way would I put a rep strap on a gen watch. If the Ti buckled version is too expensive, just do the standard or tegimented version. The teg looks very close to ti color wise. The standard not much off. They do show up on other sites occasionally. Sometimes cut, sometimes not. The Isofrane is a great strap as well. The Sinn rubber is fitted so it looks better IMO. Deep Blue makes a strap that is top quality and is similar to the Isofrane. Good option as well. I have one, and bang for the buck, a great rubber strap. Very vanilla smelling too.
  5. Ya, that dial etc. is just bad. And most likely not worth trying a mod at any price. A simple swap of a date wheel is one thing, dimension problems and layout another thing entirely.
  6. Finding gen hands is probably the toughest part. Also, a superdome is another difficult one. You have the key players. I would go all in and source as much gen as possible. Or, if you want quick, pick up the full case set from yuki to get started. Source the rest as you can, and go from there. Considering a gen 5513 is now around 5k you can get very, very good for much less. I now wish I had never sold mine!
  7. Ryaku, I bought the one you were interested in...
  8. I don't have it in hand yet. Will in a couple of days. I will post on receipt. Doubt I will spend the $. More, just curious.
  9. This one is from Trusty Time. Anyone have experience with this one? Just curious what, if any, gen parts it can take? Seems the most significant tell of these is the slightly wider second hand. Also, the dial font seems a tiny bit wider too. Thinking maybe a gen dial and hands if the case/movement would take them. This one has the Asian 2982, which is the same movement (though highly modified) as gen.
  10. The spider dials are actually a run of dials (I think there is a serial # series) that had an incorrect paint job. They were a warranty replacement if the watch went in for service. Funny how a messed up paint job becomes a collector! And, I agree. A gen bracelet is the only way to go on that watch.
  11. This is a thread that really irks me regarding Rolex. It had a rep bracelet, big deal. Has nothing to to do with the watch as a whole. I'm completely aware of Rolex's service policies. My question is this, had you taken it in on any old leather of X brand, would they have serviced it then? If so, what is the difference? Very nice 5513 though!
