  1. Totally not worth it - much too complicated and will be immediately recognized as fake in my opinion.
  2. I've been there for awhile reading and there's some real troglodytes over there that don't know their Rolex from their elbow.
  3. I wouldn't buy that if I were you...
  4. It was included in a package price, roughly $1k but it needs a bit of help. Master watchmaker doing rebuild for me.
  5. Zenith Striking 10th that is really high quality or some of the neater WG SS Patek's that are coming out also in high quality without the bogus transparent caseback nonsense movement
  6. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Vintage-Rolex-Bracelet-9315-380-Ends-Pateted-Extension-1680-1665-MINT-/291341162646?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d5495896
  7. Love that space dweller and does NDTrading still do business?
  8. Here's a Yuki I baked until I get a better one - probably from Big Dazza haha - and save up a little more $ to get it...
  9. Watch dealer on eBay willing to make a deal!
  10. Hello all! So very excited to be on my way to being a full-fledged member of the community by doing my first 5513 build. This is my first "franken" and first build, so I've taken some time to source the parts, talked to a LOT of members (thank you all) and hopefully sourced the right parts. I had a local member "TheMillerDave" help me with many things, including the movement and case, he's a terrific guy and a great resource. Many other members helped me source gen parts too, including Whoopy, Jerkstore, Cubeians, and I'm probably leaving someone out. What I've got here is Yuki (baked) 5513 2 liner underline, gilt with hands MillerDave PCG case and case-back. Probably will try to source gen case & back still from another friend genuine insert and bezel components genuine 1520 movement genuine twinlock 700 crown, rep tube rep plastic dome crystal, one period correct, one 1665 in case I like it better "BK" Rolex 78790 Bracelet, Clasp code AB9 until correct gen bracelet sourced genuine 2mm fat spring-bars I've found holding my loop up to the iPhone and taking pictures results in pretty good macro shots. I feel a little gilty about spending all this money, but hey, it's a hobby Be kind, it's my first try! More shots and macro-shots to come as build progresses but here's a few just to get us started
  11. Please let us know, that is something I would buy!
  12. Yuki's lume is like old-school Sony TV's out of the box. Everything is orange
  13. Yes to tank, Yes to arabic numerals, yes yes yes!
  14. I have a bridge to sell this gentleman. No way this guy can actually be that dumb. I chortled.
  15. Let's see them! The absolute best of the best! Your finest rep'd Rlx dials, where they came from and how they were done for added bonus.
  16. Archimede Flieger 42mm with blue-sunburst face, temp-blued hands, ETA 2824 on Hodinkee Horween Shell Cordovan Nato style strap.
  17. Oh wow, that's gorgeous - tell me more?
  18. Thought I'd share the awesome gift my wife got me for Christmas! Very happy with this beauty, thanks for the advice guys. AceTimer - 4 winding bays plus storage but only 2 slots left haha, soon only one, as I have a Sub-5513 nearing completion. Thanks for the advice on this one #Droptopman This is what I've got in the collection right now, as you can see. The Omega is a rep. Pics:
