take this as a lesson and think about all the money you'll "save" on this forum in the future! keep this watch as your first rep ever, you will not get much for it anyway.

freddy, they are $200. i can gen jubilee in good shape for less than that.

did you have to remove the day wheel (not date wheel, which is covered by a new date disc) from the movement, since its not really needed? also, how do you cut off the dial feet? I have all the parts for 16014 franken that i need to put together. My other PAM project was consuming all the time...

i assume you have gen?

did you try playing with depth of fied to get more detail out of the wind mill? not sure if it would work though the watch could be too far from the bg. interesting idea though.

Fleed, thanks for the info and pics! do you know where we can get a replacement retainer spring ?

i like the BB finish!

sold the titanium, was not wearing it much.

when did you purchase the Helenarou

bezel is not 1:1 to gen as claimed on dealers web sites. great rep none the less.. if you can pull off this size watch

now all we need is a re-run of 1:1 Jimmy Fu's case sets at his original prices !!!

guys you got it all wrong! this is how it was assembled! lol and this is the ad from local news paper!

thanks for the link freddy, looks like he does not have any cases at this time

guys looks like im in trouble ... ! after seeing all these nice 6263's i want one too.

that UN is a beauty!

get a correct brown color dial from Davidsen if he still makes them (50 shipped) and you are all set! although your current dial does have a very good L Swiss made L spacing (from 6), the dial color itself is not correct. 232 is one of my favorites in the radiomir line.

i like it!

great work!

Rolli, another great piece you got there! thank you for sharing!

Im thinking that we should see the effect of the crisis on the rep world very soon. We could see: less new rep models come out ( due to "r&d" $$$ cuts), lower overall prices, may be even closing of factories (i hope not the ones who make super reps) etc. What are you thoughts about this ladies and gentlemen? ... hold on we don't have ladies here anymore...

i must say i like it! very is a high chance for it to be repped ... if rep factories survive this financial mess. lol

gen, i assume? great shot!

guys, i am sorry for going off topic, but since you mentioned XK8 ( i love this car) - way too many with engines failed under 100Kmiles. i was seriously looking into getting XK8 back in the days but reviews pushed me away. later when i have more funds set aside just for hobby cars i may get one. now back on topic - SD gets my vote. In general - vintage is the way to go in this hobby
