Actual "full" Rose Gold case on this new Calatrava 5227?!
rkdk replied to hologramet's topic in Other Brands Area
@GWP123 I Sure we are talking about a thicker gold plating here, and not 78% gold. Do the math. It would be a lot more expensive at the current gold price. 50 gr of gold is around 2000 usd, so this would be a steal. -

Seems a bit weird. I wonder if they got that cream laquer color from the original right. its a bit off white. -
I agree. I would fly in and get the watch. No question. Ive done deals before, and always face to face.
-
He is asking 14.000 euros for it, because it needs the service. Service by authorized rolex dealer is around 800 eur, so im thinking its a good deal :-)
-
He is saying its all gen, but it needs a service. I just want to make sure the movement is all gen, and not a modded valjoux 72
-
So he sent me a movement shot. i dont know anything about the movement, but im sure you guys can spot a modified v 72
-
Thank you guys for all your input. Im going to have the movement verified before i do anything at all. no John mayering for me :-)
-
I just got offered this watch, and i just want to make sure that i dont get robbed on it. What do you guys think? gen or franken.
-
Exactly. I ended up grabbing the best one i could find. Beautiful dial.
-
So After buying this watch from whoopy12, i just wasn't feeling the dial it came with. I sharked around for a while, and finally got around to buying this gen dial. It really makes the watch imo. Im super happy about it. Just felt like sharing my grail watch.
-
Hi guys. Thanks for your input. Im still sharking this one, so ill let you know if i get it :-) cheers RKDK
-
Hi guys. Just got my killer franken from a fellow member here, and now the hunt begins for improvements. Can anyone help me determine if this is a gen dial? Im really no expert. Cheers RKDK
-
Dont know if you guys saw it, but here is a new gen White Ceramic diver out. Im not quite convinced, but to each their own.
-
Not hot. Has papers and everything. I guess the dude needs the money.
-
So many Knowledgeble people here, so i figured id ask. Ive been offered preowned a pink gold corum golden bridge from 2007. The offer is 9500 euro, and im seriously considering this. Do any of you guys know if its a good price? Ive looked everywhere, but it seems its hard to get a feeling for the current pricerange. Cheers Rune

Well, i have the gen Beats studio. Im a producer and dj, and ive been using high quality headphones for the past 17 years, nearly every day. I can truly say the original beats studios really sound horrible. The build quality is really fantastic, but the units sound really bad. I cant even stand listening to them. So i guess the reps cant be much worse.
-
So i spoke to the guy at nah-piek in mbk. He was super friendly, but i couldnt get him to recomend a watch smith. Only thing he kept saying was "sec @12 no good. You buy sec@9, ha ha. I guess the original ROOs arent shifiting very well any more. Has anybody got any tips? I saw a few watchsmiths at mbk, but im not sure weither they are reliable. Cheers RKDk
-
Ill def swing by the mbk centre. Thanks for the advice guys :-)

Im going to be in bangkok for some months, and i was wondering if anyone knows of a good spot to get some watches serviced. Ive got a few ap roos that need some help :-) Im looking for a good watchsmith, and not a splash and dash job. Any advice of where to go?
-
Ive been wondering the exact same thing. Phong contacted me, and offered me a patek 3448 ( im guessing the one on his site), a lot lower than advertised. Allthough im tempted, i guess im just not sure how these watches hold up to the real thing. Also the resale value is none existing, since its a frankenwatch. Im going to be in bangkok for the next 3 months, maybe i should hop over to Vietnam, and have a look at the watches. If he will let me. Especially the 530 in gold, looks absolutely stunning imo.
-
ah well. just signed up for a look, and the prices are way up there. looks like really beautiful work though. especially on the pateks. that 18k newman looks insane too. i guess i just prefer frankens over the standart reps we see from our trusted dealers. i bought a rose gold franken patek of a fellow member, and its beautiful. does anyone know of any other sites that make frankens like that?
-
Has anyone ever ordered from http://www.jewelryandwatch.com/index1.html The gold daytonas and pateks look insane. I know they must be REALLY expensive, but they sure look good. Would be awesome to own a 18k newman.

i think it looks great. -
looks really insane. but wonder if they get the 3d effect of gen carbon right
-
most beautiful part of this watch, is that the dial is not really black. in the sun, you can se that its a very dark brown. Such an amazing watch. The numbers are black though :-)
