Hello mate, I would recommend going with the Tc ym elabore, absolutely brilliant, only downfall is the 60-80 day waiting list!

The new 23j looks sharp, is this also a ticking time bomb like the 21j?

recommend waiting till you have funds for the TC LV2

Orange!!!

"Cartier santos mid size on a bracelet?"

I owned a genuine quartz Cartier Santos quartz many years back and traded it away. About 10 years ago I wanted another one and bought a replica stainless steel quartz model that is super accurate to the genuine. The case back has 987901 over 27953 and has the modern style bracelet with a hidden clasp. It has screws in the bezel like genuine and all the screw heads are applied to the outside of the bracelet, not stamped. The watch would be hard to spot as a replica. The only thing I changed was to replace the Phillips head case back screws with slotted pan head screws like the genuine watch has. The movement is a Hattori (Seiko) and has been running reliably for 10 years with a few new batts. The main drawback is it has the 'knuckle link' bracelet exactly like genuine and they will not tolerate bending past where it develops resistance. The case is 30mm wide across 3 to 9 not counting the crown guards. My guess is they still make this exact same watch today.

Sounds great but I don't like the idea of a Quartz mvt for some reason! ive been looking at Matts DJ builds so think I may go down that route instead.

Anyone point me in the direction of a good quality Cartier santos mid size on a bracelet? Just sold my Tc lv2 so currently have no watch on!

gen?

What you guys think? Surely if this if authentic the fix would be quite minor £500 is a steal?

My birthday today so something new and a fresh change a little gold !

what 16613 editions this?

lovely piece

Currently winning this 16613 Rolex Submariner on the bay, theres no paperwork with the watch though, can anyone confirm authenticity just from the pictures?

Is your watch a recent purchase, or have you owned it long term (i.e. several months/years)?

The crown coming loose is a small and trivial issue; it can be threaded/tightened to the stem, however the stem itself would need to come out to do so.

The movement stopping overnight is obviously the bigger issue; you mention that it is a problem that has only recently surfaced, so I presume you've owned the watch for some period of time (long enough to notice it as a new problem). It might be a good idea to get the movement serviced as in general there's no telling what kind of condition or age the movement was in when it was cased up during assembly. An overhaul should remedy whatever the problem may be (which could be a number of things, ranging from something as simple as hands coming into contact with one another or a dial marker to a worn out mainspring, etc).

If the watch is a recent purchase, maybe contact your TD to see about getting the issue resolved in that manner? Most are receptive to helping when troubles arise...

thanks for your time mate, I purchased the watch about 4 months ago, after a manual wind and shake it runs fine, this week it was running for about 60 hours without taking it off my wrist but did stop this morning, currently keeping time fine. I will probably just order another one this week and count my losses as its served me well enough for nearly half a year.

Which movement?

Asian ETA mate

NO

Im looking for a Blue Two-tone Submariner Pre-2007 as I prefer the older bracelet & older blue dial, as these are old models does it mean they would be very old reps meaning they wouldn't be at a greater level of quality of the newer built reps or are they still being built in the factory's to this day? also would anyone recommend a TD for this watch or have one for sale? Many thanks.

Hi recently my datejust 36mm has been giving my problems, movement would often stop overnight ( like the power reserve is going out ) even though its getting worn more or less 24hours a day.

this morning when adjusting the time as it has died overnight I went to change the time and whilst spinning the crown it was turning and the hands were not moving, then the crown screw literally pulled out.

I managed to put it back in and screw it clockwise and it went back in smoothly and sometimes whilst spinning I could adjust the time again, anyone have an idea of whats going on?

anyone know case size on this aswell ? 38.5? 33?

$5500, but that with GEN pretty much everything including the 4030 bridges. 

You can get one for about 4500.

and is the movement @6 still unreliable ?

how much did this cost before changing bezel/strap?

Really want to pull the trigger on an AP, however I have very small wrists so my questions is, are there any models released that are around 40mm or even smaller?

well how much is he offering it for?

What movement are the daytonas?

I received a recommendation from a fellow board member and currently have my rep in for service with a watch smith near Chancery Lane.  If you IM me in a couple of weeks, I'll give you some feedback.

thanks mate let me know how that goes.
