Ooooooo that's a nice result. 

 

 

Those are gen

Unfortunately I've seen that puretime makes new warranty cards. I don't condone it.

There's just 1 use for that kind of stuff, and its effects will hurt someone in the end.

I asked Ryan when we can expect a rep... He was asking the factories, waiting for his response..

Thinking about making an Airking. I have 2 full cases 15010.

To avoid the whole DWO I'm going to use them as "14010". Ergo without Date.

2824-2?

Anything other?

Hate to come straight back at you this, but after just posting on RWI yesterday finally, I had a member come back pretty quickly and say it was possible to mod the datewheel and pointed to threads (non-specifically) where it was discussed: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/rolex-tudor-replicas/6714456-arf-116610-904l-2824/page197

 

I did find this post on another thread on RWI as well claiming gen datewheel is doable:

I'll also ad that even though I have been a rep enthusiast for like 12 years and enjoy reps a lot but I don't get to study movements that closely externally or otherwise -I briefly had noob V9 sub but didn't get to do such a comparison as I didn't ever have them at same time.. In a similar vein, if I asked you to go over to AVSforum and get into a discussion with me on HDR Tonemapping using UHD players vs V.P.'s you'd probably give me a strange look lol...

Well of course you can create a DWO from a genuine date disc.

But maybe it's better try and find a Noob v6 DWO or TC v4 DWO.

That is the whole point of date wheel overlay.. To widen the numbers, and have them aligned closer to the center.

Why butcher a perfectly good date disc, just use a SH3135. Interplacable w/ movement-ringed 2824-2.

Is this a fifty eight REP ????

Nope. It's the real deal.. Waiting for it too.. Want to purchase a steel bracelet.

At this stage I don't see myself with any new purchases within the near future, especially with the parts supply drying up with swatch group and the increasing prices of this new generation of  second class reps.

 

my ultimate dream is to build a 18k gold submariner (because of my skin allergies with stainless) with a star supply case powered by a genuine eta and on a NATO strap.  It would be my own personalised model.   BUT as mentioned in my first paragraph and with the increasing price of gold, it would be just as realistic as building any genuine model!

I have a full 16613LN dial, hands = NOS tritium, and a lightly used 16808 insert with creamy tritium Pearl....

Also have 16613LB + 16613LN NOS Superluminova inserts

Can also get 16613LB Superluminova dial.

+ I have Superluminova hour & seconds hand for 16613LN/LB

Will list them in the classifieds coming weeks..

I'm local.. Add me to the conversation? Let me see what I can find on the person.

.....

😂

Worth every penny. Waiting on a rep ZF bracelet

Yup! There is a shop on the forum..

Look

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Of course you can't add a 3135 date disc on a 2824?

Have you looked at the movements from dial side? 🙃

1) Construction is VERY different

2) ETA is about 3mm closer to the dial age.

Check out eBay seller vacheron-nl

A Tudor Snowflake 7021/0 Vietnam case..

Then some serious franken'in about to happen.

-Gen t19

-Slay "kissing 40-fat font insert"

-Gen Tudor 2484 w/ gen disc (freshly serviced)

-Athaya 7000 + gen 700 twinlock crown

-Aged Vietnam 7021/9411 black dial

-Aged and relumed Tiger Concept hands..

-Add a 20mm NDC strap, and we basically have a

Marine Nationale Snowflake.. Sure one could always add custom engravings...

/holo

Gen..

Usually... Look at the tapering of the seconds hand if it's a set..

Can't say from those pics..

Focus on the coronet, indices, end links, clasp.. 

Not my wrist yet... Just a sneak peak...

Oh wait.. Did I offend anyone? It's not a Rolex/Tudor... How uncommon of me.
