Amazing haha, for $53... I'll say it again, Apple's profit margins are just disgusting as are those spread throughout most of the high-end watch industry.

Dazza has delivered!! Hopefully this is a half-decent pic, taken on Canon EOS with 35mm lens. I don't have a macro-lens yet. The lettering on the dial for some reason looks like garbage on here, but looks just fine in person. The lume plots are what make it great, and matching hands with pearl. Will go great on a nicely faded insert. Once DBane is done with the case this beauty is going to live on my wrist!

It must be a sign from the vintage gods

I am very very excited to get the dial, pearl and hands back from Dazza and the case back from DBane to put it all back together. -
New hands/bracelet/bevels for the big crown.

This makes my 6538 look like fail. I need to get that tube pushed in or something...grr -
Wow that is horrifying. I wouldn't give him $250 for that dial.
-
It definitely is a special feeling to walk in there, plunk down the cash, and walk out with something special on the wrist. I've only done it once, everything else has been online.
-
Yes, they are just crappola iPhone pics - but when DBane is done with it, it'll be right. Plus will have proper insert, new genuine T-19 Rolex plexi, and working on a great bracelet. Most importantly (to me) is the beating heart, genuine cal.1520 keeping COSC grade time.

MillerDave did the case up a bit, not quite sure what he started with, maybe a 1680 case?
-
We don't have a proper Rolex store around here, just silly small dealers that are basically over-priced jewelry stores and they don't have much in the way of marketing materials. When I bought my gen hulk LV-C Sub they didn't even give me a nice bag.
-
Similar case - both were sourced from Dave Miller. I've got DBane working on mine right now, excited to see the results.
-
Erhhhhmawwwgaaahhhddd that's fake.
-
The Miyota in my FauxMega 300 Master keeps time as well as any ETA I own.
-
Here is case with lugs drilled and gen-bars in place. This is pre-bevels.
-
dial is finished by Dazza - on it's way back to me. Case is with DBane.

10000% At our local Rolex Dealer they don't know their behind from their elbows on anything but the absolute newest watches, and only people that have been there multiple years could spot only a crude fake. That said, you can bring in *any* decent franken build and they'll "ooh and ahh" all over it. If I wanted to be a real SOB I could take the 5513 in there once it's complete and trade it for a new Daytona. I swear to god they'd probably do it. I'll tell them I bought it from Robert Maron hahaha

It's a crone. ;-)

6538 Build Progress: Movement Discussion

That dial just gave me a chubby. -
Doesn't TC have a great article on pinion height? I think the said an H4 from O-Frei works the best for Rolex stack
-
Looks like a fake rolex.. not a horrible one, but yeah.

someone opened a Pay Pal case on a watch

I second this, Matt I'd like to buy you a raffle ticket -
These watches give me a serious hard-on.
-
Really quite elegant and simple, beautiful strap my man.
-
Since the 5513 is getting relumed and new bevels, it's all apart. So here's 6538!
-
Would a 1601/1603 DateJust coronet do the trick?

Pardon me while I pickup my tongue.
