Headed out for dinner. Love this strap.

Maybe this is a silly question but I have the opportunity to buy a nice gen oyster or jubilee for a vintage sub project but its a 19mm bracelet. Is this actually a smaller bracelt or just the endlinks are smaller? Is the clasp from a 19mm bracelet interchangeable with a 20mm?

Wow! Thanks everyone! I just ordered a service dome crystal. I can't wait to get it. Thx!

I bought a modded 1665 drsd mbw but I really don't like the superdome. What are my options? I love the flattop look in my 1680. Any help would be appreciated.

I agree. No need to change the bezel on the v1 models. Top 2 in the pic. Neither one works like the gen so probably not interchangeable. The screws on both are non functional. On the v2 they aren't even real screws, just pressed in rivets.

If its the rubber strap I can swap you a brown rep hornback stap with deployant for it since its too short for me and I need a rubber one. Pm me if you want.

I need to order a new crystal for a franken 16000 datejust. Can anyone tell me which one to order from clarks? I didn't have time to measure it or do research, and figured someone might know off the top of their head. Thanks!

Just realized that this is the same pic someone used earlier on in the thread, sorry. I don't have the better version. Anyone have it?

I have a scan of it that someone posted a while back. Problem is that the lello has a raised font, so the scan isn't great. it's a little blurry at the edges. If someone with the proper skills can clean up the font, printing it out with a good printer can make a useable overlay. It won't be great, but better than the factory overlay.

Double post. Sorry.

Thanks, I'm liking it so much I almost bought the gen, but it's not worth it since this one is so good. Let me know if you got anything else special you want to let go.

Picked this up from a forum member. It had a couple of problems when I got it. Old school case Gen dial Gen hands Double AR crystal from PO v5 Clone mvt with slow date change. Since I've gotten it I've given it a Swiss heart transplant, cleaned the dial, polished the case up a bit and added a gen bracelet. I just need to touch up the lume at 3 and 7 oclock and repaint the bezel numbers. I am loving it. Gen bracelet is worn but makes the watch feel awesome on the wrist. Dial is simply amazing. It's hard to capture in pics. I guess I could add a gen crown and bezel but I'm not that anal right now.

I got this jubilee bracelet in a group of parts to build a franken datejust. The seller states it is a definately a gen bracelet. Can anyone tell me what these grind marks are on the back? What would have caused this? Some type of repair or refinishing?

If the dealers could take pics like this I would be BROKE! Nice work!

Looks like a cheapy from a Slevin or similar.

Stilty, I need some movement holders for putting a 2824 into a 16000 case. Your PM box is full. Can you shoot me a PM? Thanks!

Looks like there may be quite a few MD members. Perhaps a GTG is in order.

How would I provide them with a value? Will they contact me? The seller just labelled it as watch parts for repair. The watch is in pieces BTW. No value was listed.

Anyone ever get this? I have a watch incoming to the USA from UAE via EMS. tracking says it's retained by customs for reason number 99. According to google that means waiting for declared value from sender? The packing slip contains no value. I have seen a scan of it. Any suggestions?

Let me know if you want to sell it

Bump for a 253

Merry Xmas all!
