It looks really nice on mine:

looks great, so does mine i was wondering because I wanted to check what a gen version of it would cost.

Hi! Does anyone know what jubilee was used with 6239 Daytonas?

Nice, but they should have written his first name too. Otherwise i think about Newman from Seinfeld

Great mod! Nice watchbox in the background

Here is mine...

Magnetized movement?

DId anyone manage to print a dwo for a 7032?

Great work!

I like the decorated movement and I understand the 1655 case is closer to 1675.

RA made a good writeup about the gmt, here is a link to another forum http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?/topic/82040-Rolex-1675-GMT-Master%2C-The-Legendary-Watch

From what I understand, for true accuracy the bezel needs replacing anyway.

i think people use the wso bezel assembly instead.

What are your thoughts on this 1655 as a base for a 1675 build?

why not go for a 1675 cartel?

The last 703 crown is genuine without any doubt !

not sure about the first 600 ones.. I have a Riyi crown that looks identical

thx the 703 is a taker I suppose.

Hi! Found some crowns on the bay, what do you think, reo or gen?

I would donate a few benji's to the cause. How bout a kick starter fund ?

i dont think it would be hard to collect 20k from the members for a good cause.

That case finish is amazing.

Btw, are you going for a 5512 or 5513?

Looks good!

I sent him an email today, well see if he answers.

Looks promising! Good luck!

Aggh been tryin to find a watchbox for ages too, this looks very nice! Very promising project!

No problem.

I think this one looks like it'll end up being a good deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-ROLEX-Mens-1603-DATEJUST-CASE-FOR-FIT-Cal-1570-NON-QUICK-SET-MOVEMENT-/251802105267?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa09335b3

yes, bought mine for the same price. Found a bezel now for 120 dollars, so basically a 350-400 for a case set is a good deal imho.

Yeah, came with a fluted 18k gold bezel. Although I've seen some lately with the non-fluted and non-gold bezels too lately.

Here's one of the Korean sellers: http://www.ebay.com/usr/friendlyperson2012?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2754

Looking for the other one I just got the DJ case from...

thx bro, ill be looking for a movement now.

i will check it out. Did the case come with a bezel?

cant find that korean seller, do you have a link to his auction?

I think I paid about $900 for the movement with the face and hands included.

I have a feeling you might be able to find one cheaper on eBay right now as I've noticed another seller in Korea has flooded the market with a bunch of 3035 movements and 16013 cases within the last few weeks.

I just picked up another 16013 (I think I mentioned this) case/caseback/crystal for like $150 less than I paid for the one pictured above. Seems like the glut of cases and movements available lately has slightly devalued 16013 parts. Might be a good time to buy!

I'm definitely going to wait a few weeks to list this watch on eBay to let some of the potential competitors get sold first.

i will check it out. Did the case come with a bezel?
