how bout this one?

thats y i kinda stayed away from the rb II eventho ive always wanted it.. actually its so not worth it thats y im building a 202/a which is a 90k watch.. more expensive than rbII rose gold and ill get more of an accurate watch for cheaper

double the price?? for a simple mod? man ur not kidding right? like hell even 800 range is a bit too much

i never went to the AD and tried to pass the rep as a gen...i told him it's a rep from begin with. i just needed someone resizing it, and the iwc AD was just the first one around the corner...i just needed to get it done and didn't have any tools on me.

no matter what u say i still think ur bsing.. ok i kinda agree with previous post.. the freakin datewheel on the ingy is too different to the gen.. its like day and night.. how the hell does the ad or anyone who looks at iwc everyday does not know this?? a bit weird if u ask me.. and iwc ingy is the easiest to resize.. why the hell would u need an ad??

ur story just doesnt make sense to me.. i dont get why other are [censored] off.. im not coz i think its a [censored] story that u made up

the gen is so sexy.. i never seen the rep.. but if its remotely close then well done.. coz gen is so [censored]ing sexy

So you think it is a very cool story about your trip to the AD???

Nobody is interested hearing or reading about it...

especially made up fake stories.. who the hell would wanna hear that?

so how did it save ur wrist?

ban him?

yes iwc ad is just as good as the rwg members.. /me rolls eyes.. so good that last time i posted 2 pics of gen breitling skyland and rolex daydate 60% of the ppl in here thought it was franken and 40% thought it was rep coz it had gold oxidation on the bracelet.. ok i dont freakin recommend taking watches to an ad.. but saying "ITS EASY TO TELL WITH A BLINK OF THE EYE???" pftt.. so much for being experts and all.. i still need to be convinced at how good we as rwg and those ADs are.. coz seriously i doubt we're that good.

1.5k?? mike said the gear mod is easy.. certainly not worth 1000

thats a gen bezel.. lol ye gen bezel is much more shinier.. its kinda like a mirror.. its got that "bakelite" effect to it

With regard to coating bracelets, I still prefer not to...

I urge people to read my earlier thread: http://www.rwg.cc/members/DLC-Coating-Bracelets-t94400.html

For a while, I was not coating bracelets at all. Now, I will coat them on request, as long as the customer acknowledges the possible shortcomings, and is willing to accept the risks.

With regard to the PAM bracelet, the finish becomes something to think about...Most PAM cases that I coat are bead-blasted first, so that the coating has a nice, matte appearance. If the case is left polished, then it will have a shiny, ceramic-like appearance when coated.

The bracelets typically have alternating brushed and polished links.

In my opinion, brushed and polished sections look good together, but I would not mix brushed, polished, and blasted textures. This means that you would really have the choice of leaving the case and bracelet as is, or bead-blasting everything.

cool man.. have u ever had a 1950 project? coz i really wanna see a dlc'd fiddy.. never seen one b4

that just gave me an idea.. since i got this fiddy.. i should get it ar'd by chief or ajoe.. then get it dlc'd.. and superlumed with blue lume.. i reckon it should be the sexiest fiddy in the world.. wat do u all think?

show me the finish product man.. cant wait.. this'll be sexy

Cheers T!

I think this is the one by the looks of it....

Currently in discussions for an order

how much are they? i thought theyre in the 500 bux range

400? i thought they're close to 500 but meh.. yes i prefer the topgun ceramic.. eventho last time i heard this wont even be considered as a 'super rep' by the senior members here.. so i never really talk about it here

thx for your input Armin. Can you also let me know how to contact T and what what this abbreviation stands for. Moreover, in regards to the crown and crown guard how much do i need to expect to spend and which product number do i need to quote to T when asking for a price?

cheers

not sure about correct crownguards.. i mean it ranges from fu cg to little hero cg.. so if u want a really accurate ones ud be spending about $200-300.. crowns are about $100 im guessing.. but ye after these mods ull have a pretty accurate watch tho.. well im not much the panerai expert but this is wat i think anyway.. u may want to ask the board more..

but i dunno if its worth it considering ur base is a dsn (or just get a t crown.. dw about the cg i think if it gets too expensive.. but i was thnking if u want to dlc it then might as well get the best parts ).. if it was me id go with the dsn 127 and dlc that.. i mean 127 out of the box is fine ..

is this a good prev case?

well $900 sounds hard.. considering the dlc itself will cost 400.. but as for mods.. i suggest u get a new crown from t i dunno if he still has this or not.. but if not then get his t-60.. and installed into dsn's case.. in addition u might want to get a new crownguard..

i was wondering tho.. wat would polished ss look like with dlc?

oh well i dont know but this is mine ey

its not paperweight!! :@.. they should do this in tungsten.. ohh and u know wats the best.. if someone can do the gear mod .. weeeeeee

ok if he said "theres trouble with chief's ar and needs to be recoated in UK" then hes bsing.. coz i know chief, he checks out crystals before he sends them out.. and if there is trouble he offers recoating for free as what happened to mine last time.. so i dunno just my 0.02

+1 agree

oh trust me i have about 4 diff ones here in adelaide.. and theyre all the same.. slow, grumpy and have no skills.. seriously we're lucky to have The Zigmeister here.. just overall nice person and his work is just outstanding.. too bad hes all the way in canada.. but for simple mods sometimes its just not worth of sending it to him.. but then again these days i just think its so worth it..

He said rocketeer has had his stuff since February.

Mine since January.

I think the two weeks issue is just one of the many drops in an ocean of BS...

ohh ok i get it now.. but last time i went through chief's ar run.. he gave an update in every step of the way (good bloke).. u coulda seen the progress there of when he accepted crystals from rocketeer and when he dispatched it.. then ud know whether or not hes lying..

i mean just to make u feel better.. i had some problem with my crystal when i did a work with chief.. after the1st run my crystal had problems.. and chief did a rerun for me for free (again good bloke).. the whole process for me took about 6-8 months.. but at the end of it.. its worth it coz his ar is just the best.. so hang in there man.. hopefully this'll put u with more ease

2 weeks and ur this [censored] off? man watchsmith in australia takes longer to do something simpler than that.. i told them to do water pressurize test for waterresistant and regulation of movement.. takes them a week.. told them to change datewheels for me.. took them freaking a month.. servicing took them 3 weeks.. 2 weeks for 20 works isnt bad if u ask me
