    Movement examined by Rolex expert / watchmaker for a purchase that significant is a must. Authenticator must be experienced with Rolex V72 movement, and what replica bridges and parts look for, and be prepared to dissasemble watch and look at base-plate and corresponding serials I think. Don't get John Mayer'd

    I honestly tried one of these on in the Torneau store awhile back when I was buying the Rolex LV Sub-C hulk. I didn't like it then, thought it was too big. Kind of wish I'd purchased the gen IWC over the gen Rolex, but I'm reasonably happy with the rep...my doesn't have much of a power-reserve though. How much was the gen movement?

    "recently serviced" - it runs and there was some oil shot into it.

    Fantastic! I will order one then. They are much nicer than the rep. No way I can compete with your build, but there will be a beautiful strap on my 5002 and gen crown, double-AR gorgeous sapphire and I'll have my watchsmith peg the power reserve at 5 days, look a bit more authentic....

    I think you'd have to fill the hole and if it's just glued down, it might be a problem.

    Wow thank you for that great resource - would a genuine crown fit on a rep movement?
  11. 508-Fanatic
    Can I ask how you sourced the parts? The movement in particular? I would love to do one of these, but IWC parts seem way more scarce than Rolex.
  12. 508-Fanatic
    Yeah I'm curious about that too - they run $10k to $12k on eBay

    Dude....

    You know what's f'd up? My miyota powered Seamaster 300 keeps impeccable time but yes, when the movement is jiggled it stutters, and sometimes the second hand gets jittery but oddly enough the thing keeps really great time. I've not had a problem with it at all.

    I don't mind paying for the gen crown, but if the tube doesn't fit the case properly it wouldn't be worth it unfortunately. I guess that's my predicament. I'll try to turn the tube into the case more and if not, cut it down a bit with my watchmaker. Stay tuned. Might go Athaya regardless.

    He's not accepting new business. The website still stands but nobody has been able to contact him via conventional sources.

    Wow.... That is unbelievable. Seriously, unbelievable. Amazing. Can I ask what you are into it for $?
  18. 508-Fanatic
    That is awesome info Nanuq, I really appreciate it. I will see if the tube is all the way in. If not, maybe I'll replace it with Athaya

    Hi all, Have a question here regarding the HR (helenarou) 6538 Big Crown from the raffle. The tube protrudes from the case, not complaining, just looks a little odd. It's an ETA movement. Looks like if it didn't protrude the bezel would smack the crown. Is there a fix for this? Better case option?
  20. 508-Fanatic
    Agreed
  21. 508-Fanatic
    Oh now I can read it... wow that is a lot of drama.
