For anyone who remembers all the fuss over the Casio Royale, especially over on RWI
I was cruising around Chinese sites and found there is a rep out😂
€13.00
No this has been discussed before, the SH is a clone apart from the escapement the SA is just similar but with no interchangeable parts other than hands and dial. Then there is the S3135which is an ETA clone in fancy dress. I wish the makers/Dealers would use less confusing names
As far as I know parts are not available for the SA3135. Options would be to place a WTB advert for a movement. Some have swapped them for genuine or Yuki movements. Also replacing it with an SH/Yuki is an option
Hello and welcome to to our community. I can’t really help you with your question, I’m not US based. Most dealers accept the Customs risk, so although the first purchase is always a worry I recommend you just be patient and wait for it to turn up at your door.
Don’t forget to tell us about it and post pictures once it arrives
I thought so. I have pocket watches with dials by that method. In fact I know a girl who restores them or makes them from scratch and I have often wondered if she would be able to do a wristwatch dial. I can’t see why not, some ladies pocket watches were as small or smaller than a wristwatch.
Those pictures are very clear BTW and thanks again Ubi for sharing
@irate03 I think the penny has just dropped. You used to post a lot on HF and did some rather tasty Pam dials at one time. I well remember following that Tudor build. I would love to see you posting more here mate.
If I had I would gift it to you buddy.
Anyone seen one of these before? It’s really rather nicely done, though totally incorrect. It’s about the nicest part of the watch, which is my beautiful quartz Submariner that I like to wear to shovel shit in the rain (literally, I wear it around the farm yard, mucking out)
I have just seen this case back on a Yachtmaster from Da Gate posted on bz. How many million of these case backs did they produce? Didn’t RegMariners have this case back at one time?
Well I don’t have the Daytona, but I have a very similar case back and what makes it even more remarkable and unique is that it isn’t the usual screw fit. Sensible offers and I could be persuaded to part with it
Back story is it came off a Submariner and is clearly inscribed 004 so I presume it was originally purchased by Universal Exports
