Any opinions to the Noob 116600 1:1? Advice very welcome.

I would need some advice where to buy the best out of the box Newman Daytona or 6265 with black dial. Im located inside the EU so please consider this when giving me advice. Regards Chris

Looking for the best available 93150 rep bracelet, with correct hollow mid links, good clasp and taking the 2mm Rolex springbars. Any hints? Regards

Hello everybody, I've seen some of these Super Seadwellers (Ultimate edition??) in the Trade Zone and now I'm interested where to get one of these and if there are different editions of this rep. Are these built with asian movements and ETA's? Or only asian movments? Which dealer is selling these Seadwellers? Help would be highly appreciated. Regards

Hello, I have a question about those NDTrading or other cases like this one. Do you know if the bezel is better than the one on the MBW cases? Regards Chris

Difficult for me to work it out. If someone inside the EU could help me in any way, please let me know!

Have one lying around. Don't know how to mod it. Any ideas? Already have all the parts, but lost interest...So what shall I do with it?

Look at this auction. Genuine rare watch or good rep? ebay Regards

I asked him yesterday, but thought someone here could give me some hints. I don't know which one is accurate, if somebody bought one form Precious Time perhaps he could tell me...

Hello, I'm new to the Pannie world, and I'm now looking for my first one. I would buy from precious time, but I do not now if they have genuine Unitas in it or not? If someone could tell me which ones have a genuine Unitas and are good, that would be great! Regards Chris

Def a Gen.

Looks great!! May I ask what I would have to pay for, and if it's also available with save shipping to the EU?? Regards

There is a well know collector of gen vintage rollies, and that is his own "collection". These are genuine Rolex Sport models with a coating, and they are sold for round about 12000 dollar.

Perhaps shiny is a little bit misunderstanding... The have a little glossy aspect. Not very strong, but noticable. Regards Chris

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you very much! Did you do some modding at the indices first, or did you only spray the matte varnish over it, and now every shiny effect anything had has gone? Kind regards Chris

Hello, I bought a nice 1665 from Paso recently, and now I have a problem. The lume dots are shiny, and I do not know any vintage rolex that has shiny lume dots... So I thought I could relume it with a matte color, that they are not shiny any more. Do you have any hints, tricks for me? I thought I could perhaps make some templates I could lay over the dial, but I don't think that would be so easy. But free handed is also not so easy, because you would need a very calm hand.... So if you can help me, or are located in Germany or in the EU and would do that for me, please contact me soon. Kind regards Chris

Another great collection shown on the VRF is the one of Mike. Look at page 9, the thread is called: Mike Wood hits the big five.... He has 7 Comex, some Explorer dial Submariner, it's an incredible collection!! Regards Chris

Thats philips collection. He's a well known collector, and the picture shows not everything he has, there are even some more watches....

False.

You are totally right! Sorry for my mistake!! But a working HE valve is a nice extra I think! Thank you guys very much! Kind regards Chris

Hello, thank you guys! I got offered the 1665 case with the working HE valve from a guy who collects some reps. I do not know where he got it, but I think it's also an MBW, because it takes gen parts and I've seen some MBW cases with a working HE. Look at the threat where "Verbal Kint" is modding his 1665. I think thats also a MBW case, and it's a working HE when my eyes are not fooling me! Kind regards Chris

Hello, I bought a MBW DRSD 1665 with slow beat movement, hollow mid link bracelet, but a non working gas escape and no crease at the back. I also have a gen tube/crown, crystal, and some gen bezel inlays. Now I have the possibility to buy another MBW with working HE, crease at the back but a non slow beat ETA, bracelet without hollow mid links... What would you guys do? Built one out of two, the case with working gas escape valve, crease at the back, slow beat movement and the better bracelet, some gen parts to add and making a great watch out of it. The problem is the higher price, because the second MBW I would have to buy and having some parts lying around after that which would be a hole watch if put together. Or would you give the one with working HE valve and crease a pass? Would be great to hear from you and get some support!! Kind regards Chris

What about the UN Freak??

Could you tell us if the laser crown at 6 o'clock is etched or not? It looks so big in the pics.
