Rolex 116509 racing dial with Arabic numerals and silver dial or black dial does exist with the sec@9. Mary & Rochest watch international sell those watches. You can read more about those two model there is a thread in RWI in the French corner section. According to me, the sec@9 does not fit the Daytona rep, spacing of subdial is so wrong and the 116509 sec@9 looks quiet funny

Tony has sent the watch, the factory didn't change it so I will mod the insert ! Tony's service is good but quiet slow, I think 2 weeks if it is not more passed since I ordered the watch. Hope I wil get it without any issues.

Does a calibre 3130 movement clone exist or not yet ?

Ok, I though that I will need to change the DWO for the dial then it will fit the movement. So no need DWO.

Why do I need a DWO for an eta with this no date model ?

Yes this is what I wanted to do. But I think an ETA will be better, there's hands on Ebay that fit 2836-2 with blue lume. What kind of Sea-dweller you have? A 1665 red ?

So the best thing to do is at least ordering two insert to have better chance to get one well made. Before I order I will ask Andrew if he can send me one with thicker numerals hope he will understand. And concerning to upgrade the movement I think put on it instead of the 2813 a dg4813 high beat movement doesn't worth the effort..

The 4 that you got from him were perfectly aligned ? Are they oldest BP insert model with thicker and deeper numeral on the insert (as gen) ?

I rode that the noob was the best for this white explorer II

What a great collection here you have !! Love the vintage Daytona, is it a Pre-Daytona ? I can not see from the picture. Love all your subs ! Wear them proudly !!

The case is great without the CG, it looks like a monster version of the 5508 Bond big crown submariner. Nevertheless the colors doesn't match each other.. Not my cup of tea

Tony told me that the factory doesn't want to change the watch so I told him to send it to me, I will wear like that until I order from Andrew from TT a ceramic bezel that fit the watch. Andrew is selling for 25$ without shipment a 116610LN ceramic bezel and I asked him if it will fit a BP 114060 ceramic, here is his reply: Your watch model requires the insert with pearl and is usd55 shipped airmail a piece. Thanks I am confused. So is the bezel that I saw on his website will fit this BP submariner no date model ?

Thank you very much all of you guys !

Wow I do like this dial, do you think it will fit a Y3135 ?

Yuki Comex dial for 16800 has different Comex printed logo on its than the 16610 Comex logo, take a look:

I don't want an ETA or an Asian clone, I would like to install a cheap Chinese DG4813 with same rate beat. Because of the price. Is it a hard to change the cannon pinion or I better bring the movement to a pro watchmaker !

+1 I sent email to Andrew first before order

I would like also to change the movement. This watch comes with a DG2813 21j 21600 bph : Do you think that i can change the movement and instal the dial and the hands on a DG4813 28800bph: Here is what i found about this movementon RWI : The DG4813 is a variation that runs at high beat. This is not a direct drop in replacement due to the canon pinion height and would need to be modified to work with most Rolex replicas. These were available for a short period of time in some Rolex replicas but seem to have been out of production for a while. You can still purchase a DG4813 from regular supply companies (CousinsUK/Ofrei) but would need to do a canon pinion swap with a DG2813 with high canon pins. But i did a little research on allwatchparts.com and I saw that the two movements, DG2813 and DG4813 have same hand sizes which is: 1520/1000/170 So i am a little bit confused..

So this gen part should fit on 3135 Yuki movement : http://bit.ly/1cbL6ZS

Lol I hope so. I also hope that Tony understood what I told him about refund.. I hope that if the factory will not accept another changing he will send me the watch as I told him. Sometime I feel like talkin to a wall with him .. :/

Thank you very much for the advice ! Hope I will get from them an insert correctly aligned which will match the dial markers

Here is Tony's reply: I just try it again , if the factory do not change ,I will make the refund to you , because we have change one , normally the factory will not change again regards tony I told him that I don't want refund. I want the watch, so hope the factory will accept if they don't I want him to send me this new watch with incorrect insert graduation alignment. So what I will do is probably order a BP Bezel insert from Andrew (trusty time) they look pretty good with thicker and deep marking. I hope it will be easy to install without removing all the bezel construction. It really pisses me off because I don't want a cheap rep. It costs me 175$ and If I wanted a cheap submariner ceramic with bezel insert incorrect there's a lot for 80$. But in another hand, the BP has some good points, the bezel construction is gen like and the new dial is pretty good with correct Officially Certified space. Here is picture that I forgot to post from the second QC pics:

Great so it will fit my BP 114060 sub c no date ! Is the graduation thick and depth as gen ?

Is the insert from Andrew (trusty time) has correct aligned graduation with markers on the dial ?

Is the watch waterproof and water resistant to a depth of 100 meter ?
