The secret to getting it to work is to supply a bottle of Scotch to the mods lounge........

They are a chain of shoe repair shops that also cut keys and service watches. The watch servicing on site usually consists of bracelet adjustment and battery change. Why would anyone with a watch worth anything go there? Although they can generally send watches away to their service centre and a real watchsmith. I did go into a branch and they pressure tested my Seamaster Chronograph and it passed with flying colours - to their machines limit.

Email a couple of TDs with a photo of the watch and ask them if it’s replicated. If they say no then try AliExpress for a cheapy.

Again.

The first man to run a mile in under 4 minutes died yesterday at the age of 88. He later went on to become a talented neurosurgeon. A man of many talents. RIP Sir Roger.

I have a Seamaster/PO hybrid that uses some gen and some rep parts. If it was all gen parts I’d call it a genstein.

Modded/Franken is the same thing to me. Where as a Genstein is a gen watch that’s been changed from OEM spec, such as a dial, bezel or strap swap to another from the same manufacturer. IMHO of course.

@PureTime Your request has been done here. Please try to assist the OP.

You could try emailing the TDs or try AliExpress maybe.

Unfortunately that is a bit like asking how long a piece of string is - as it’s an old rep. Maybe post a photo of the movement and maybe someone can help.

I’ve always liked Seamasters on mesh. Well done Sir, it looks great.

Very nice. Has a little nod to some classic Heuers.

Snap, although mine is sporting an all black number now.

Stranger things happen - and I live in hope of a similar find.

Just back from it’s service with a bezel insert change to all black rather than the night/day insert.

It’s Chinese New Year so many dealers will be very slow to respond.

The different fora have very different personalities. Here we are more laid back and tolerant. Next door is much more like the Wild West!

Gold! Reminds me of when I was dating a girl and I always said with a smile “shall I use the gold condom tonight”? Once she said “how about using the silver one and coming second for once”! Doh!!!!

Sounds fair enough. If you want to sell then support the forum and go vip, it’s not a lot of money after all.

He had a way of working and it didn’t match our requirements so he has now agreed to do as we asked. All done and dusted.

I believe that a lot of newbies hit and run as they’ve no intention of becoming part of the community. Once they’ve had the information on ‘who has the best sub’, they’re off without a thank you. Legend suffers these fools more than most as he is a gentleman with a vast amount of knowledge and is happy to share. But, come on guys, just say please, please.

Why lie? Tell them it’s a rep. Some people will know - especially if it’s a rep of a high end, say $100,000 timepiece. A lot about you gives away if you’re wearing a gen high end watch or a rep anyway.
