Nice start, D, I think I will now refer to you as the "King of Bling!!!"

Hahaha! Funny most of my watches are SS

I'm sorry but your fear of rape is really serious. Don't get either a rep or gen, Don't worry "Purple Aki" is still locked up & he only likes teenagers!...lmfao!

Last year I embarked on the journey of building an All gold Datejust 16018. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=193280&highlight=16018

Sadly I sold it to a member over @ RWG....I hope he is enjoying it. Now I realized I miss having an all gold watch. What do I do now? Build another FG watch ofcourse! And my pick is a Day-Date Presidential 18038 & 18238. Yes...2(maybe even 3).  Below are the parts I have gathered thus far

Gen 18kt bezel for Sapphire crystal
Gen 18kt Crown for 18200
Gen Gold dial
Gen Black & Gold dial(I think might be refinished)
Gen Champagne dial with Aftermarket diamonds
High quality clone ETA 2836-2 (with H4 CP & HW)
Clark's gold dress hands for Tudor
Clark's 25-295c
Rep 18kt GP mid case & case back
Rep Presidential band


















The back of the diamond dial



The back of the gold dial



The back of the black dial




I'm torn on which one to build first. I know for sure its the diamond dial that going to be the 18038 because of the aged dial dots. An open 6 & 9 DWO & aged hands to match the dial will make the cipher complete.Mymanmatt would probably be executing this builds. I will keep you guys posted on what i decide.

Left is Gen. The "Oyster perpetual DateJust" text on the right dial looks like them so called refinished dials on eBay. The Swiss Made text is also too close.

All that said the "rep" dial is still very good quality.

Not bad @ all. I want to build a Franken 18239. Gen parts for WG rollies are not easy to come by. I got everything but the WG crown with 2dots.

Enjoy your lovely piece!

If 116233 band/end links will fit your 118234. Contact the eBay seller "georgeyeo1962" and ask him to gold plate the whole end links for 116233.

I got the end links for my Franken 16018 from him

I had him gold plate whole of his 16233 end link

Thanks StoneP but I have a gen crown, I just messed up the tube trying to be clever

PM me with your details.. I got 1 for free.99

@ceejay. If you need some 5.3mm or 6mm crown that will fit a 24-5300 tube, left me know.

Please don't f&@k a classic gen Tudor up. It doesn't make $$$ and it doesn't make sense .

Would the 2879 fit your case? They can be had on the bay NOS for $60 USD.

I'm going trying a 2873 & 2879...I will keep you posted!

Guys the Felsa 4008 in my space dweller 1016 is a true "underdog" movement. The PR on mines is almost 48hrs after winding it up and not wearing it. It's truly the perfect movement for your JMB explorer 1016 builds @ 18kph same the movement in the gen 5500,6610 & 1016. I ve a 77j felsa 4007N & a 50j felsa 4000 I'm saving for later this year.

I like but it does need improvement. Can you change the text to black?

Good job JMB. Thanks for working hard to bring us a more price friendly vintage explorer.

M8rk76...welcome! Like everyone stated above, take some time to understand to community and some of our basic etiquette. Most people here are very helpful.

Anyways Ryan from intime.co is the TD I get Daytonas from. Plus he prefers transaction from UK/Europe.

Best of luck on your purchase.
