    Check if you have some half links around, I did that on a two tone bracelet I had a while ago. You can pry the links apart and remove the center of the half mid link and do the same on the connecting piece and exchange them. 

     

    I have the hollow  link in excess!

    so do you mean that i have to cut in the middle of the rear side of this link and folded it like the final connection: recreate the bend in wich pass trough springbar   ? :g:

    But i need special tool and manual skill for this work ?

    Do you have same pics of your work?

  2. Hi,

    as do you know, the cartel bracelet 93150 have a flaws on final connecting link , the line engraved on it ( see pic.1) 

    where i can find a final connecting link without this line engraved ( see gen bracelet  pic.2 ) ? 

    Obviously i can't ask to AD because i have to show them an original 93150..otherwise they call :busted_cop:

    and if i polished it until it disappear ?

    maybe the steel came too mach thin and weak ? :g:

  3. Hi,

    yesterday i have check a Gen 1680 of my friend,

    i saw that the endlink are different from my cartel ,the general appearance of gen are more thin , strech out , they have more gracefulness

    (sorry i can't find the correct word for expalane it ..), the cartel are more short / stubby.

    And another thing , the gen show a little case part ( the space between the top of the end link and the bezel ,see pics below sample )

    the gen 1680 is near Nos so i don't think that the endlink was worn-out by time..

     maybe the WSO are Gen spec or are identical to the Cartel one ?:g:

  4. Hi ,

    I'm almost finished with my 1016 Explorer build and think I want to do a Tudor 7928. I think I'm going to start with a Cartel 5513. I figure I'll go with the cheaper version with the 2813 movement for $148. I have a Seagull TY2100 (2836) that I can use.  My thought is to use a dial from Yuki ot ND Trading. My question is which gen parts to use and where to have any case mods done.

    i'm not expert:( but maybe the cartel 2813 don't switch with 2836 (different hand pinion ? )  but  i have read that the 2813 can switch with myota 8215 ( see Interactive work..)

     

  6. ok tsk!

     i read the link ..i think that maybe the opener have a MBW , and if i correct understand :g:is Gen spec (Gen "dial widow "& Gen "date window") so the Clark plexy don't work ..

    but also my Cartel watch have a Clark plexi and don't work , so maybe the Cartell have Gen Spec ? :huh: but it have Eta movement so the "date window" position should be different..:crazy:

    the only solution should be buy 2 dial from Yuki ( one for gen 1570 movement and one for eta 2836 )  choose the better one and sell the other .

    but in this way i spend twice money  :cc_hang:

  7. Hi,

    i read a lot here and in other forum and i asked mp to some kindly member:blush:, but i have yet a doubt :confused:

    I want improve the dial of my 1680 Perfect Clones with a Yuki_Eta_2836 or Yuki_Spec_1570 ( or a RLX_GEN if i have budget..).

    I have read that the Cartel dial diameter is 26,2mm and the Yuki ( and Gen ) is 26,5, so i have to mill/shave the dial_seat_rehault for .3mm.

    Now my doubt is about the Date Window..

    My clark plexi ( that i think is for Gen-Spec ) il too far right ( see yellow arrow in the pics) so i think that a Yuki_Spec_1570 ( or RLX_GEN) will be too far right for my Cartel DWO.

    In other word , i not understand if the Yuki_Spec_1570 ( or RLX_GEN) have the Date Window too on the right so it cut the left of the font/Number and for example

    if today data is "25" i can se only the "5" , or if is the opposite and  the Date Window cut the font on the right so i read only "2". :( 

     

    Maybe i have to change the DWO with this Silver DWO cityweekender/peter park ? or i have to buy another DWO , but which one ? 

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/ETA-movement-part-date-disc-silver-2824-2836-2893-rolex-oyster-date-/121976006293?hash=item1c66562695:g:jSAAAOSwQItTy1X8

     

    Or best solution, is buy a Yuki_Dial_Eta_2836 so the Date Windows is on the correct position for my 2836 DWO ? 

    thanks for your support

    I guess I have some options:

    - Get a better case. But I don't have the funds for that atm.

    - Trim the case. But that would require access to a lathe.

    - Trim the dial. I can probably do that with tools I have, but that would make the dial unusable the day can afford a better case.

    - Build a 5513 instead and put the 1680 dial in a drawer for the time being.

    Desicions, desicions.

    @tanaris , i have also a 1680 perfect clones and I'm thinking to improve the dial with yuki or gen..:crazy:

    than do you have change the dial ? 

  9. Hi !

    here my little project  ..:bounce:

    watch rlx 1680 from josh (perfect clones) asian 2836 , than my watchsmith switched with Eta 2846 low beat

    i sent it to RolexAddict for the base mod (CG, dial lume, fade insert, springbar, clark plexi, yuki insert), but than i shipped to RA for mod crown & tube with athaya.

    in the pics we have also :

    - paper, bill ecc by Rolojack :wub:

    - only the garantie & calendar is my experiment..:blush:

    -gen service box from ebay

    -gen leather wallet from ebay

     

    maybe in the future i will improve the watch, but for the moment i will stop here ..:g:

     

    what do you think ?

  10. I have a old, broken, 2846. With a little luck I might have the 2846 parts you seek.  If you are still looking, please drop me a message. Else I will not bother going through all my parts. No charge (only for the shipping, if you want reg. shipping).

    Thank you blix !

    But i have finded in italy a 2846 for 60€ shipped..

    I forgot: and it is perfect compatibile with 2836 !

  11. Hi,

    than i have found a solution for the bezel that pop up easly ..

    I have put a very little drop of glue for steel inside the bezel assembly. I wait that the glue was dry and than i push it on his place.

    Now it is tight and don't pop up , and If i want i can rotate the bezel (but is better don't exceed and challenge the luky ...)
