I think the missing one is the 216570 sitting in my watchbox that he was kind enough to sell me

The watches in those pictures and the movement photos are of genuine watches, that is why they look so good. Do not fall for the scam. If they were any good we would all have one by now.

My photography improved vastly with investment in good lighting and number one, a good tripod! A tripod and remote shutter release is key to great shots.

Great information! I can not wait. The ability to mount gen dials and hands will be awesome.

Personal stock only, or will you be selling them?

Explorer 1, A2386 on Gen jubilee Explorer 2 40mm Explorer 2 42mm A2386 GMT II Ceramic, ETA 2386 Datejust 2, DG2813

Wanted to share a shot of the family before they get split up. Moving a few out to make room for some newbies.

You will have the Y3135s?

Par for the course my friend. None of these watches are perfect, you just have to find one that you can live with or use as a base for mods. Is this a 21j model?

Merry Christmas!!

Looks like the search continues!

I think Yuki Watch has a comex dial available.

If you want to test drive a rep Speedy moon watch, I would check out price angels. They have a decent quartz rep and it's about 40 bucks cheaper. It's definitely not a high end rep, but it's probably the exact same watch.

All of the newer DJ2's that have been coming out have been pretty decent looking. The dials are pretty much spot on. I have a white face with a 21j for sale if you are looking for a good starter watch. It's about a month old and worn less than 3 times. It's on a jubilee which isn't true to gen since the DJ2's only come on Oysters at the moment though. I prefer the jubilee on a DJ which is why I bought it that way. I bought mine from Tony at asian7750.com and I can recommend both him and Ryan at intime.co for a decent Datejust. The new DJ's are nice watches.

What particular DJ2 are you interested in? Dial color, SS, TT, etc?

She's getting a lot of wrist time this week!

Mystery solved.

Saying that something "sucks" and not offering a better suggestion doesn't really add much of value to the conversation. In my opinion he isn't going to get any better in that price range. It goes back to my original post which suggested purchasing an aftermarket insert and installing it himself but it sounds like work he doesn't want to do.

You are buying a rep. None of these cheaper reps are going to look 1:1 to gen without adding some gen parts and modding. Closer reps like ones that BK and TC mod start to get close and the cost reflects this. I think BK has the best Sub C offering at the moment but it's going to cost you at 560.00 + shipping. I have his GMT Master II-C and the insert is stunning. Well worth the cost and damn close to gen. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/165795-product-offering-noobfactory-sub-c-v2/ In this game you either pay out the nose to get close to gen, or learn to enjoy the lower end reps and accept that they will have minor flaws.

To be perfectly honest with you, I have never seen a good pearl on any of these low end reps. You best option is to step up to a TC sub, or replace the bezel insert yourself. There are better pearl options to be had in the aftermarket. None of the rep ones look very good. Also, those pictures are way too small to inspect. They need to be hosted from somewhere other than tapatalk. Imgur works well for me.

Looking for some gen spec spring bars, any recommendations? The end links on my Explorer 2 are annoyingly loose. Thanks!

^ She's a looker, that one!

Looks swell! I love the aging on the hands!
