  1. Not gonna lie...I haven't been this excited about a new rep in a long time.

     

    A Black Bay is probably going to be my first gen purchase when the hype cools and they start popping up used at slightly more reasonable prices, but I welcome a 'super' rep and will gladly pony up for one to hold me over.

  2. I just got this one in the mail today. Bought it used off another forum. I give it about a 7/10 for accuracy, but it will hold me over until the right fraken/super rep comes along. I'm going to send it off to a buddy for some light aging. Will post more pics when it's finished.

  3. Andrew told me today that the factorys are out of stock with all the vintage rolex watches.

    But fortunately there was an offer here in the market I couldn't resist.

    The watch should be on my wrist next Tuesday :)...pix to come :D

    This was the latest from Andrew for my order:

     

    We are waiting for the factory to pass us the stocks before we can prepare the QC pics.

    Please do be patient. There is also a lot of backlog of orders to exit. Thanks.

    I continue to wait....... :play_ball:    Glad you lucked into one DocThor.

     

  4. I think I need to have a 5512 even though my purse is empty.

    So I have to buy a budget 5512 first and do the mods afterwards or have to let build one when the budget is "ready".

    What do you guys think about this Trusty Time 5512

    Is it worth the money??

     

    I think this is a better option from Trusty in terms of accuracy/looks. He even claims all parts are interchangable with gen parts (for what it's worth....):

    He has three movement options, you can opt for a 2813 at $118 which should be easy on your pocket. 

     

    Just an FYI: I placed an orderd for a couple of these 'ultimate vintage' 5112/13's on April 3 from TT. I asked if they were in stock before ordering, he responded with "yes, I should have them". Turns out he doesn't, and can't give me an estimate when they'll arrive. Just something to consider before ordering.
