hologramet replied to 508-Fanatic's topic in General Discussion
1) bezel insert number size is too small 2) hour hand ok, minute ok, seconds too short- 61 replies

Use a TD.. puretime.io is a good start.

Amazing! You just keep evolving it. Hope you find another project Because this is basically as good as it gets.

If you want even more exact you'll need a TC V7 Extreme bezel or Genuine. A contributing factor is the shape of the "steps". A genuine is almost upsidedown V-shaped while the reps are a bit more upsidedown U-shaped. TC wrote an article about it that the he hired someone to finish the scallops by hand since automatic tooling equipment couldn't make them V-shaped enough. I added a genuine bezel to get the extra stiff/rigid feel… Worth 700EUR? Well a crazy franken is a crazy franken. Mine is has everything but midcase and bracelet is gen.

It fits straight off.. no mods. Feels amazing. I always install Glidelock on my Rolex bracelets. Even installed on a 214270... i recommend brushing the polished glidelock links vertically to match the remaining links.

I like this place and its' inhabitants, so I try to take the time to help… We aren't plentiful, but I would say that we sure have panache. -

What is the quality of gold plating like on replicas?
hologramet replied to Faster897's topic in General Discussion
Genereally speaking I do not recommend gold plated watches because it's usually the instant and biggest tell. 1) Sometimes they get the tone right 2) You usually can't repolish or improve on factory polishing 3) Natural fading, scratches and instantly "ruining" a fully functional watch. Usually the "gold" plating isn't even gold. It's something/alloy that has the same tone as gold. There was a thread about this an "wrapped" links, turned out BP links (and others) weren't even gold. -
