  1. I have uncureable pancreatic cancer, but this thread isnt about me. When I feel my time is coming, I’ll start a thread.
  2. David.. this might seem a bit strange, but I’m in the process of kicking the bucket myself. Selling off watches, collectibles,audiophile parts etc. I know that my parents have No clue what is what. What I want to say is..(I don’t know the degree of nerdyness you got in this hobby). If the inheritancea are unclear What is genuine, what is ”aftermarket” and help with valuation I’ll gladly help. Who knows, those funds could help a local charity or something.. I’m just expressing my thoughts, that swirl around. P.S. Don’t wait to long with help, at least from my part as I might have started the real journey by then.
  3. Rest in peace Bob. Calmness, wisdom and wits. David, remarkable men like your father are very rare. I wish I could write more, but this has affected me more than I thought. Now I know why you never sent me that picture to show how you 6536 looked with the replacement insert I sent you. Hope you got to enjoy it though, even if just for a day. And that beautiful Panerai 6154 with desert/tan dial I built you 7 years ago.. that one I know you loved.
  4. Yeah it's fake. The end links and absence of "3D effect" on the hands are my initial tells. A member with patience might probaly find more tells. It has to be opened up and inspect the mvmt.
  5. Shouldn’t this be unpinned? It’s so outdated… So much has happened since SH3135 (aka Yuki). It’s barely used, unless it’s in the watch.. and it’s still better to change it to a VR3135 and then upgrade that…

  7. i understand what you meant, but it won’t be a straight on fit, both thickess (not width) of link is different, haft the bracelet will be hollow and also screw placement is a bit different. Even of they theoretically fit it won’t be that amazing. I know because I’ve built my own but with 580/93150 and with 93250. To make it optimal I would use a rep bracelet, e.g. 97200 close to the clasp and links in the visciniyy and the rest gen 93160. But it’s your cash going down the drain for a finished marriage that might look ok at first glance, but is a bit off when further examnining it. This can be made a tint bit better with polishing/grinding a bit on the 97200… Also even from Rolex AD the bracelet is about 1900€+ and you’ll often need a Ceramic Sub (depending on your relationship) to get one. I would never use a gen one for such a project, but like I said.. it’s your cash.
  8. Uhm.. What do you mean keep it all gen? A 97200 won’t fit the lugs properly as far as I know.. You’ll still have to create a marriage of SELs + fixed links and the glidelock.. and you’ll most likely have to adapt the modern parts together with the ålder stuff.
  9. I have both a gen 93160 and 93160A clasp of you need. Otherwise I’d say ZZF and ARF and VSF are basically the same clasp. It’s going to scream replica either way and you might be forced to adapt some links to get a uniform transition from 93160-links to the 116610/Glidelock clasp links.
  10. I completely agree with you on that point. Thank you very much Rolex making repping easier. Same think with Grand Seikos divers. My two favorite watches (Daytona & 44mm Spring Drive Diver) have some of the most beautiful ”serial produced”-movements, hidden. 🥲
  11. automatico .. that isn’t 100% correct.. They have KIF shocks, and are Top grade regarding the rest; Glucydur spring etc..Don’t remember if they are/used to be chrono certified. Also.. what’s the point of it being engine turned if the bridge isn’t engraved.
  12. Let me know if you need a gen 93160 or 93160A clasp. Beautiful btw! Gen dial?
  13. RJ. Bivintagestore is the go-to Guy for cases (he makes the base cases with custom engravings and the whole shebang). Regarding inserts ”crownartcustoms” is the go-to guy nowadays. PM me for contact info to both. You too J! We’be been missing you! Yeah… I sold parts to taiwanese/hong long the last 2-3 years for absurd sums. No doubt about where the cash is currently.
  14. The bubble will burst. A 79090 for 8000€. A 2000€ watch 10 years ago. Crazy……
  15. Truly welcome back, the one and only O.G. Rolo!
