Welcome! Nice Pelagos

Smart move to pass on the gen AJ - I'm really unsure what the long-term market looks like for these at that price...
-
Hey thanks man - greatly appreciate it. I did read many of those, all very good - but some rather old threads. Would you happen to know of anyone willing to take on the work?

Hello All,
I recently purchased a stunning 1665 DRSD from one of our esteemed members. A grail type watch, lots of genuine parts including movement... I am looking to take this watch one step further.
Currently, it has a non-working replicated HEV. I have purchased the genuine (in the bubble) Rolex parts for this. I am also going to add a period-correct crazy$ insert when I find the right one. Outside of that, I think the watch is otherwise pretty perfect. I'm surprised at how simple the HEV is (rod/pin, gasket, tension plate) and consequently I'd like someone that has done it before, and can ensure that we aren't just putting a hole in the side of the case for water to enter.
Is anyone up to the task of the case drilling for the HEV? I would prefer someone that has done it before, and has pictures of their work. @rolojack might this be you?
Thank you all!

Hello everyone.
I am new to this site, I would like to purchase the best possible Yachmaster 2 two tone watch.
Any help would be appreciated
Is this what you’re after?
If not - and you want YMII I would advise caution with the 7750 - it’ll be good to get it cleaned and serviced as it’s a complicated movement and out of Asian factories
theres a question of watch thickness versus genuine. Over all across the board not the most accurate reps imho

I am not a misogynist or sexist and I respect women in general, but some roles are gender specific IMHO.
007 should always be a man in line with his creator's intentions, and wonder-woman should always remain a woman.
I am open to characters like Captain Marvel being either gender.
Yes agreed. The whole freak out about an African-American mermaid was a bit much, considering the source material/lore and that it existed pre-Disney... but this is different.

It's definitely odd. From what I understood in the novels the 007 is a status, a descriptor / level of clearance or whatever, or maybe that's just the 00 part? It was a long time ago I read Fleming's work... but regardless yes - I agree rather odd.

I would suggest @rolojack and if you need Domenico’s email I might still have it

TimeZone has a really good Keyless article --> https://www.timezone.com/2002/09/16/the-keyless-works/
I'm really not sure how you'd effectively get at it (in full) without removing the dial and hands, but perhaps after reviewing this there's some sort of a work around that can be had.
-
Very nicely done! I've never had any success doing dials. Great work - also I think the end-bars as opposed to the endlinks is a cool look!

Lovely photies by the way.
I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. 😎
Questions? I have no questions for you. You're a troll irregardless of whether some benevolent people are under the impression you possess some modicum of intelligence or wit. You are (for now) a tolerated guest here... and at the end of the day you're still a troll.

Welcome!
Many people are favoring these lately
https://puretimewatch.io/submariner-116610-lv-green-ceramic-arf-1-1-best-edition-904l-ss-case-and-bracelet-sh3135v2.htmlEach has it's own uniqueness and pros/cons. Higher price, but you get what you pay for.
Some people also favor the crispness of the N00b dial

There's a ton of variety out there with regard to watch boxes - do you need something with auto-winders as well as storage space?
Diplomat makes a decent box, Orbita is pretty much the gold standard... there's pretty much everything between $300 to $50,000 just like in watches - no matter how much money you have, someone will find a way for you to spend it -
welcome! You'll find a terrific amount of resources here!
Gen's are certainly hard to justify but once you've had a high-quality rep on your wrist you're eventually headed to the genuine imho
Best of luck with your search!
-
Yes please share tagged pics of your work, I would certainly be interested!

Hello fellow reppers/frankeners and all around good jolly folk
Anyone have the new domain?

Hey man, I am a big fan too. I am actually planning a custom Seiko 007 build, https://www.dlwwatches.com/ they seem to have some pretty cool stuff and it's inexpensive to make up a really cool watch.
-
It’s the most beautiful watch ever made. Yes.
-
Oh man, this reminds me of the time I did a PCG 5513 Gilt build... with a gen cal.1520 in it, man thousands of dollars out the window, reworked the thing a half dozen times, adding more high quality parts, etc. Eventually nearly everything was genuine except the mid-case. It was a lot of fun though.

What have you started out with?

Fellas as a reminder. PC is the most 'spoofed' rep website. So it's up to you as it stands to do your own due diligence.
Yeah and this one doesn't look like his...
A simple question...
