    He's worn Raymond Weil in the past (yellow dial)...not sure what this is. B

    I'm in for one if the project is successful! B
  4. bobandshawn
    Where is that rep case for 2824 going??? B
  5. bobandshawn
    Folks on RWI say no response, no reply for a looong time. Seems to no longer be viable. B
  6. bobandshawn
    That's the one!!!
  7. bobandshawn
    Nope. Not in that price range. B

    Beautiful work Chris. This would be my birth-year grail should you ever choose to part with it! Bob

    WSO's are cheaper if you buy them in sets of (3?) I think. Just buy some and then reinforce them like mentioned. Easiest route in my eyes... B

    Very nice! Good job brassing that bezel as well... B

    Sorry friend. Very sad... B
  12. bobandshawn
    Nicely done!
  13. bobandshawn
    Bull

    If I'm not mistaken, all these variables can be accommodated with the use of various size dial spacers (or none) and different Canon pinions if necessary... B
  15. bobandshawn
    WSO won't sell to you??? B
  16. bobandshawn
    Have to agree with this... B
  17. bobandshawn
    Just server issues...
  18. bobandshawn
    Well I guess I'n gonna mix things up and try this setup. 580's on Oyster for the sub...jubilee for the air King.
  19. bobandshawn
    Should probably have said "preference"... B

    Hi guys - quick question: 16610. Lugholes Drilled. "Swiss Made" Dial. SEL Oyster Bracelet, or 580's? Thanks! B

    Fake slick douchebag....

    Although not in the same league as Matt, I concur based on just the economics (for those looking to others for service). Ebay regularly sells these asian movements for well under a 100 dollars (generally 80). Gen ETA 2824's can be regularly had for 170 dollars from one vendor I deal with frequently. When I was looking for a modder to service some of the problematic movements I had acquired over the years, one in particular (of dubious reputation) was asking over a 100 dollars just to service each. Seems these are almost becoming throwaways unless you can learn to do your own!

    Tried it on a jubilee. Think I'll save that for the blue dial build when the case gets here...
  24. bobandshawn
    It looks much "salmonier" in that light...it's really more muted. Ken has this color - and a deep rich blue. The blue will be my next build on a modern DJ case and jubilee as a more "dressy" option. Salmon isn't really a "go-to" color for me either, but I could only find ONE gen example in all my searching on the interwebs so this is a standout for me!

    Hi guys, Not much going here so I thought I'd post up something new. This is (I believe) a one-of-a-kind build (for now, anyways) 1990 Rolex Air-King Salmon. This is the only year you could get the 3-6-9 Salmon dial with the lug holes case. Since everyone knows I build my own watches anyway I didn't stress over the 36mm case size... Specs?
