    I have a nice DRSD that I'm starting on. All vintage reps will need at least the following in my opinion. First, I will work on aging the current insert. Ideally I would like to find a gen and may do so later down the road. This can be accompished with a little bit of bleach and 3m pad. Next you will want to buy one of Athayas 702 crowns. They are so close to gen that it's throwing away money to try and find a gen.Then you can move on to case and bracelet aging which is hard to get authentic. There are several threads on RWI on aging cases and dials. This one is really comprehensive: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=92860

    Eh, once you clip your first feet you tend to get over it. You can send dials out to have feet reattached no problem. I was apprehensive about clipping my first. It's true that it lowers their gen value, but you will always be able to sell them here in that condition.

    Will h5 work with flat sapphire crystals?

    How much are the case sets? As long as I can get gen 162xx cases for less than 300.00 it seems pointless not to use them.

    Holy crap, I want to see how this turns out. I always wanted to use that movement but couldn't figure out a way to mount it in the bp case.

    Can you tell me more about the dial aging process that you used? I am working on a 5500 explorer vintage build and would like to age my dial to match the gen case. This is some great dial aging!

    I like the Pam 00089 E series rep with the Anthracite Dial. One of my favorite reps, highly accurate and the dial is stunning. I can't say I care much for the GMT modded 7750 movement though.

    I would contact Mymanmatt or JMB, either one probably has the ring you need.

    The TC sub is actually really good. Throw on a Gen insert, crystal, and dial, and you have a watch that is about as close as you can get to the real deal. That said, I have a franken Datejust as well and it's all gen except for movement and hands. You would have to crack the caseback to know any better on this one.

    This one has a Swiss ETA .

    Looking again, the lug holes and crown shape do look really good. I still don't like the insert.

    See how off-center the pearl is? Insert looks like [censored] to me.

    First AP, surely not the last!

    Wow. That one has it all!!

    Yep, I use a GS4 for most of my photos since it makes uploading easier and good light goes a long way. This and I always place it on a tripod or mount. Not shooting from your hands with a mobile phone camera can make a world of difference in the clarity and focus.

    If reliability or cost is not an issue, then why even produce a model with the ICHS? An honest question because I genuinely don't understand why they would produce the ICHS model instead.

    Thanks all!

    A pretty small sample size if you ask me. I'm glad that it's working well for you. I assume that if dealers will not offer them that A. they aren't reliable or B. they aren't cost effective
  20. AKTime
    The 1675 is easy if you use a 21j since they have the correct hand stack. I have heard bad things about the 2836 with the CHS. They are not heralded as being very reliable.

    If you need a new home for the 088, let me know! I just sent my PAM 0089 out for some fine tuning and miss it already!

    Watch 1 MOVEMENT: Asian 2824 Clone 25J Automatic Movement, 28800bph (decorated same as genuine) Watch 2 MOVEMENT: Japanese MIYOTA 9015 24J Automatic Movement, 28800bph (Same Stability as Swiss ETA Movements) The only difference i can see. The 2824 clone is probably a HangZhou and honestly, the Miyota is probably a better movement.

    Sounds like you got one with a mineral glass crystal, I am rough as all hell on my watches and the ones with sapphire crystals have no scratches at all.

    The news of the new Pepsi must have everyone feeling nostalgic today!!!
