Most of you that know me, know that I am very much a yuki fan. Misiekped does wonders with it. It can take a 1 to 1 part change with a gen 3135. I got yelled at by Misiekped because I keep upgrading my 16610LV myself. He did tons of work to my watch. I have just continued. He has a valid point because a price of a real 3135 is between 1700 to 2000 were the Yuki is $340 and with his service and parts he changes lets say around $700. I changed the winding bridge to a Gen winding bridge. Why because it saids 3135 on it in gold. LOL. I also got a deal and a half on the automatic winding bridge and assembly and rotor. So I brought that and replaced the Yuki one. So all in all those two upgrades were about $700. So now i'm in the $1400 price range in my yuki. No matter what. I am very happy and to look at it from the back, even though the back is covered by the case, if I ever open it, it looks like a Rolex 3135. Plus it winds better now or so I think. LOL. Here is a pic of it.

That was another weird thing. He has himself listed as being from California and all his paypal stuff is in England. Plus his story with the whole VAT tax. We don't have VAT tax here in the US. I'm still waiting for my automatic ceramic wheel. I have one. Can't do much with one. I've went out and brought two fill 3135 automatic bridge assembly because on the yuki they wear out. Just those two gears, but I'm nuts and brought the whole bridge and gears. He seemed nice enough just a little argumentative. I remember someone bringing something up about a hole not being aligned and he flipped out. I am the luckiest guy in the world to have got every penny that I ever spent with him refunded to me on paypal. I also had all his stuff too but I believe in karma and I am a christian person. I mailed it all back to him. Just things that I found shady. He never gave complete things. I brought a Phong case from him that wasn't a phong case. The kicker was that he didn't send the back. He said to me when I was buying the case that they go for 1200 to 1400 dollars. If you look those up they have backs. Then the bezel assembly. It was a complete gen bezel assembly. I got it, It was a TC and it didn't come with the crystal holder that the bezel goes in. When you contact him its, oh that is extra. Same with the gears. I ordered a set of ceramic reversing gears, I got one. He said to him the set was the ceramic and the small gear in it. He wanted another $50 for the other one. He said he understood the confusion and that he would mail it to me. I never got it. He was just a scammer. I feel bad for not saying anything. I know he sold those parts to other people and I ma sorry to tell them that the parts that got are not what they paid for. Thank God Drop you didn't, not real.

To screw each other over is just wrong. I'm not saying you can't make a buck but to lie about what you have to make more is just wrong! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I only dealt with Baleinedessable and God was on my side. I brought over $2000 in stuff from him, starting with a set of automatic winding gears from a 3135. After that I saw a phong case for a 16610 and I brought that for $800. I brought a band for my sub from him. I brought a Gen bezel assembly with insert. Bunch of other small things. When I got them, I thought he was the cats meow. I send everything to my watch maker, Mike (Misiekped) who I trust undoubtedly! He said to me that The case was not a phong case. The case didn't fit my gen 3135. He said that the bezel assembly also is not Gen. Then also with that stuff Baleinedessable didn't add the back of the case or did he add the crystal retaining ring with the bezel assembly, which both were to be included. When I called him, he said that he would mail it. Also the ceramic red gears for the auto bridge. He sent me one instead of two. Then he told me that as a set it only comes as one because there is a small gear inside of the other and that was what he meant as set. He told me he would send me that too. The band. Not even close to being real. Color of steal way off and the markings were not close. This shows you how good God is. I didn't have to do anything or notify anyone.After I got the news from Mike that the case wouldn't take real 3135, I get an email from paypal about my account. I log in and I have a crazy amount of money in my account. I also have like 4 emails from Baleinedessable. He is apologizing about something that is going on with his account. He then asks me to wire the money into his bank account or to wait a couple of days because he was setting up a new paypal. I asked him to call me. He did. I asked him what was going on. He explained to me that his account is set up personal and that they saw all the transactions with high amounts going in his account. He said they asked him to verify them as non business and he couldn't so they froze his account and reversed all the sells. He said they wanted a crazy amount of VAT tax or something like that. That was when I told him that the stuff he gave me was fake. He said that the case was a phong case and that he had a Yuki in it. I told him Mikes name and at that point, I guess he knew that Mike knows his stuff., he gave me another option. To return everything to him if I wanted. That was the option I did. So this week I had a dealing with Phong. His name came up. I thought phong was going to have a stroke. He called him a fraud and that the case in question was not one of his cases. All his 16610 cases take 3135 and 3035's. I'm glad someone did something with him. I didn't complain. I am new. I didn't think anyone would listen. I wanted to in the worst way. He kept posting the pics of the case. People kept commenting on the misaligns of stuff. His stories were never right. My intuition always was up with his stories. I don't like to judge and thought maybe he just didn't know any better but I see now that he is just a scammer and fraud. Thanks Mike on a Bike and RWG for having out back and investigating him. The other guy. Never dealt with him. Stay safe everyone. Robert

Good looking out for us board!

That is beautiful. Problem is that it would sit in my winder.

We spoke about this yesterday. It goes back and fourth. I am a modern guy with watches. Now modern to me is the 90's to right before the ceramic. That by far IMO was the best time rROlex prospered.

The food and drinks were great too. Personal pan pizza. Drinks were real not that fake crap. Next time we should have a nice sit down. It was worth every penny. Watches were beautiful.

That was a blast. Mike it was so nice to meet you after all this time. Great collection. \

Mike. This is still going on 26th correct? I'm psyche and can't wait.

It is lovely. Amazing too. This is just incredible. I remember and have my first rep from the 90's. It is funny but still works like a charm. The steel is turned orange like brass. Lol

I can tell you that I have had a few watches built by a watchmaker here who is incredible. Mike (Misiekped). He has repaired my mistakes, he has overhauled 5 watches for me. He has built 3 watches for me. The ones he has done are all keepers. 1) Was a 16610 that I sourced all the parts for. Everything was real Rolex but the case. I wanted to use a Phong case and ended up using a 1st generation TC case. That case came from my TC16610LV. So I had him gut that one then came the second watch. 2)TC 16610LV. Now that he took out all the guts from the LV and used the case for the real 3135 on the other watch, I had ordered another case from TC to use for that. I had ordered a Yuki 3135. Mike took that and put in some parts that fail in the Yuki. That with a Gen crystal, Gen Hands, Gen date wheel, Gen bezel insert, gen crown. The watch is incredible and is my daily watch. When I went to pick up my watches from Mike he was wearing his latest invention. He had taken a Noob GMTII 116710 and took a yuki 3135 and made it a 3185. I told him I wanted it. He told me to calm down. LOL. If you know me you would have found that funny. I started to source the parts which leads me to watch number 3. 3) Noob V2 116710 Yuki/Rolex hybrid 3185. Mike gave me a link to order the Noob GMT II. I ordered it. I got a gen dial blue lum, gen bezel assembly and insert. Gen crown, gen date wheel, gen hands blue lum, Gen crystal. OMG. this is a beautiful watch. I am so happy with everything that Mike has done. He is the best and yuki is the best movement out there right now for our watches. Only problem with them are a few part that need to be swapped out for gen parts and they are dirty as hell when you get them. So a cleaning and oiling will solve that. Any other questions read the whole story from start to now. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/215568-The-perfect-16610?highlight=occb2

It is beautiful and a great price. Wear it in great health brother.

I was just going to hang out and talk about watches. I do have the 5510 you made that I could bring to sell.

I have the same issue with a bond yuki dial. I used a ceramic Sub case. It fit. Looks weird but fit.

I'm psyched about it. It will be good to put faces with names. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm in.

If you find one let me know. Looking to do something else with another yuki. I would love to do a 16710 Pepsi just, like you have to find a case that can take that movement. Good luck brother.

You can get hands that are aged at Ken's store or yuki and I believe Phong sells them too. I agree on the low beat. You have gone this far. The build is beautiful. The low beat and a good set of hands will make that thing scream Gen. I actually like it with the bezel pearl missing. Looks like a 30 year old watch should. Good luck.

That will be a great watch. I don't have the answers for you. What I can tell you is that if you have a gen 16660 dial, I would not chop it up and put it on a 2824 or 2836. Have you looked into a yuki 3135? Are you in the US? If so, there is a member here Misiekped (mike). He does wonders with the Yuki movement. He has built me a 16610 with it and a 116710 where he took the yuki 3135 and built a hybrid Rolex/Yuki 3185 that works just as a GMT should. The issue will now be getting a case where it will fit a 3135. I believe Phong has one. If not reach out to him buy email at his site http://www.jewelryandwatch.com/contents/en-us/d77.html. That man does wonders with cases. It will cost a lot but in the long run, you will have a triple six that runs and performs and looks as well as a gen at 1/3 of the cost. Also if I remember correctly the movement in the triple six was the first one to sport a 3035. Don't quote me on that but the reason why I say that is because prior models that had the 1560, the hands would adjust like a ETA backwards to the 3035 and the 3135. Good luck. Look up Mike here. He is a wealth of knowledge and will lead you down the right path. Robert

What is the question?

Fedor33, Misiekped is the man when it comes to that. He did the exact thing you are asking for me. I had a 16610LV from TC and I used that case to put in a gen 3135. Then put the Yuki and the LV parts into a newer TC case. The older TC cases are better made. Rob

The feet are in a different spot. The watchmaker did it. I didn't ask him how but you can re-soder the feet or use dial dots to put it back on.

Here are the parts that the watchmaker had to change from the Yuki to make it run as well as a gen 3135. I know the hand pinions were two of the parts.
