  2. The Star Time bevel around the edge of the crystal is made just like Rolex...if I'm not mistaken I read somewhere that Gary at Clark's has the same crystal though...not for sure haven't ordered anything from Clark's in awhile Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Tapatalk
  3. I agree one of the best aftermarket crystals on the market Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Tapatalk
  4. Actually my first choice would be Star Time and then Clark's. The WSO crystal isn't to my liking Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Tapatalk
  5. Wow love it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Tapatalk
  6. I'm with you on the rep crown... I think you can get that nice refinished dial in place and nice lightly faded inlay in place ... Thin the case is a must.... And shape the CGs some....You be in like flin! The bezel looks decent for the most part.... You can always change it down the road if it starts bothering you... So far off to a good start![emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  8. That is gorgeous gorgeous piece... Congrats.. Wear it in good health Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I found one over seas that got me mine ... They are used ... But in decent shape... I paid a pretty Pennie for them as well.... But if you need help finding a pair?... I keep my eye out for you Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  10. These was took before I changed the end links! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  11. Even after a couple of pair of high grade Swiss 2mm fat spring bars.. And even gen spring bars... They still don't hold up good as they used to! Especially when you mount them then take them apart a couple of time... It seams that the spring get weak and don't hold up... Even gen? Love to find a good stiff spring bar that's 2mm and hold up good? Anybody with a suggestion please? Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  12. This build is now complete with gen end links gen clasp to make the bracelet completely gen! So now this build is pretty much a gen on a aftermarket case! Because the ST case and Cape Co DW is the only parts that isn't gen! The build is now up for sale on RWI Time to move on to something new Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  13. Now if you come off that 5513 you been holding out on... I'll have all the watches I want...lol Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  14. I'm going to start another thread because this build has been totally rebuilt ! But here is a few pics! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  15. Tagfan1 sent some up date pics last night! So end results will be here soon! Should get it back next week! Can't wait to get this back on my wrist again! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  16. Yes ! And yes the ST can house either the 3035-or-3135... And with a movement ring ETA movements... What ever your liking? Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  17. More like over 5k after said and done! This is just for the love of the hobby! It really don't pay to build your own 16803 or 16613 unless your not that anal about parts etc..? Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  18. ST cases are sold by ST and you have to have a store front or biz account to order from them... But the case will take all gen spec parts including bracelets Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  19. Starting to get there! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  20. Reflection back as I sourced parts! And Tagfan1 modded end links to fit the case! It's been a long road but we are getting closer! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  21. still may change the case in the future after sourcing the gen end links and clasp to make the bracelet completely gen.....I'm going to see how the molded ST case suits me....But I say the CGs will never make me happy! .....then I may contact Phong for case engraving
  22. Now the watch is back out to a good friend of mine Tagfan1 for case work! As you can see the watch doesn't look it's age ... So now we are taking the sharp edges off! And having the crappy ST CGs reworked! And doing some bottom chamfer in on the CGs! And least but not last! Putting in a newly serviced Genuine Rolex 3135 This will be the last faze of the build! And can't wait to get my baby back! I will update the final results after Tagfan1 gets done! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  23. Some time has past since this project was built by Misiekped And I was no where near done with the build... But as you can see I had a good base !...lol Specs as you see them! Gen Rolex 16803 dial in it's original form .. Not refinished! Gen Rolex 16803 tritium hands Gen Rolex 703 gold crown Gen Rolex bezel assembly complete! Gen Rolex 16803 insert St case ST tube Serviced Yuki 3135 by Misiekped St sapphire crystal Cape and Co DW Gen Rolex main midlinks WSO real gold End links! And 16613 blades installed in TC clasp to make a modded clasp! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
  24. This is a long over due thread that was posted over at RWI first... But should have been posted here first given this is Misiekped home..lol..! About 5 months ago I sold my Franken 16613 project to switch up to something different... Everyone was already doing 16613 builds... And I wanted to do something a little more different a vintage! It kind of fell together pretty fast ... I originally was looking for a Sean case .. Because of the CGs was so much better ! But I got a call from ST about the same time I was thinking of this build . They said they had a new holes case back in stock So I went for it! And the rest is history! I PM my buddy Misiekped and ask if he take on the project! He supplied some of the parts already I sourced for this build! And I got to say he done awesome work on the project! And was very pleased with the results! Misiekped the man! Need less to say Misiekped work is flawless bringing my old gen gold bezel assembly back to life! His work is clean and some of the best work I seen! Enjoy the pics! Another update is coming after this post! Sent from my Rolex thinking brain!
