As @Nanuq says, that is rather too close for comfort. I'm glad to hear your are safe, stay that way my friend

Looks very good on the wrist. Unfortunately I could see myself wanting all three dial colours

Could be all sorts of reasons and it's hard to judge. Some say the big watch craze is burning itself out, but Panerai has always made big watches. Maybe they are hoping to appeal to men with wrists my size, maybe they are just trying to cover all bases, maybe they hope women will buy it, maybe all of these.

Looks very good to me.

Adrian is in Indonesia my friend. He is also a member here so you could PM him of visit his website https://rwg.cc/forum/335-athaya-watch-parts/

Did you send him a PM? @rolli just catching your attention

Lord, I was born a ramblin' manAnd when it's time for leavin'I hope you'll understand Thanks for the music Rest in peace

I know them, in fact I'm a paid member there. There are four English language rep forums. www.rwg.cc www.rwg.bz www.repgeek.com www.rwi.com Each has a slightly different flavour and it is unlikely anyone would like them all equally. One soon finds a favourite, even if like me, one visits them all. KB wrote an interesting history if you are interested

With those pictures you should have not issues with an eBay dispute if the seller won't play nice.

That is disappointing, what does the seller say?

I will share once it is done, but don't hold your breath, it will probably be autumn. BTW, I would recommend buying just the case from Phong and getting the watch built by someone else. Also since you are in Italy, triangle shipping may be wise. I believe they take a hard like on counterfeit goods in your country

The dial that is currently in it is frankly rubbish my friend. I am happy to show pictures. The Vietnamese dial that will go in it is stored away in my house in Poland so I can't share pictures at the moment. I believe that a little visit to one of our really clever guys and this watch will look as convincing as can be. I never for a second regretted my purchase

Not too sure why the first image loaded twice

Well it has been on my wrist for pretty much the last eighteen months gaining some artificial natural patina as we recently named it. It does not look either clean or cared for at the moment. Anything in particular you would like to see?

I love the shape of this case. In my opinion it would look great on a bi-compax. I have the pictures saved from on eyou showcased before.

I understand perfectly it is something the Mods have talked about before. I'm sure all our members will understand as well, we are very happy that you share and give so much to our community. Also good to know about the genuine Rolex side to you, that information will be stored away for future use?

Ten PM in Ireland today. Not as spectaklear as Alaska, but impressive for these parts

Well that was a blast from the past. I wear this watch more than any other. I have a small hoard of parts waiting to go into it once I finally retire. Anyway on to dimensions. I found this on Bob Maron's site https://rwg.cc/forum/230-watches-clothing-parts-accessories/ Intestingly it is where the picture of the gen above came from, but anyway going on the dimensions he gives, mine is pretty accurate. 38mm but I guess it figures that after all these years and service polishes most will now be a little less. His gen is 0.5mm undersize, my rep is 0.4mm according to my calibrated digital calipers. Height I think will depend on exactly what crystal is fitted, but he states 12.8mm mine is 13.7mm but I know the crystal isn't too hot and is due to be replaced. Overall I think Phong cases are very, very good and I've heard stories, including one posted here of the unscrupulous passing them off as genuine.

These are counterfeit goods. I can't guarantee no problems. Customs is always a risk for example. They won't just take your money though, and if they did, we would back you. Puretime has been with us a long time and I have bought from them several times. As to which one, I'll have a look and see, unless any of you other gentlemen have a suggestion? Do you want to wear it as is, or do you intend to modify it either now or in future? Okay had a quick look. A2813 is a Chinese copy of a Miyota movement, it's a workhorse, but sometimes the rotor can be noisy $148 what is not to like for a beater 2836 is a Chinese copy of an ETA movement. A wear as is watch, good Noob SA3135 is the movement that is the same shape as the genuine Rolex, but won't take genuine parts. I heard reliability improved recently. It's the modders choice and when the movement dies, a simple swap to the JF/Yuki movement, which is a clone of the Rolex one. like much in life, there is no simple answer. Any thoughts guys?

Our TDs are here https://rwg.cc/forum/230-watches-clothing-parts-accessories/ Also www.puretime03.com www.pf-818.com The dealer quoted above is a TD on at least one of the other fora, so legitimate, but not a dealer here, so we would not be in a position to help if there is a dispute or problem. If you are a member of other fora, they would help.

That SA unit isn't the same as the JF/Yuki I think and only dimensionally the same as the gen movement, no gen parts fit and I think still not replacement parts available. Is that correct? Mechanism parts that is, I believe dial and hands fit no problem

While you knowledgeable gentlemen are about, is the 114060 dimensionally the same as the 116610 on the gen? I seem to recall that was not the case with 14060 and 16610. I remember reading the no date case was a little slimmer

No I don't think so. There are several warning signs. They are not the manufacturer Noob, I can be sure of that, yet their pictures are intended to make one think they are. The prices are rather higher than you would pay from a know Trusted Dealer. Pretty much every week we hear people new to the hobby say they ordered from a site they found on the web and got scammed. It is far safer to buy from a TD on the forums Welcome to the community by the way?

Well as a new seller you are fully entitled to sell at $199 or less, so it is not that. If you click this link and then click Create New Ad in the top right, it should lead you through the process step by step https://rwg.cc/classifieds/ If you have any further difficulties, please come back to us and we will try to resolve them Okay, I just found something. You listed a Noob DSSD. My colleague has remarked that "Please read the rules. A tagged photo and a price is required. Also, how are you accepting payment. Sale on hold." You can accept offers, but please give a price to negotiate from. A tagged picture involves putting a handwritten note in a photograph with the watch, it must have your username, the date and RWG.cc It is best if the picture shows clearly that it is a scrap of paper or back of a business card and not something that was digitally edited. This is to show you have physical possession of the watch and is a measure to counter scamming that we insist on from all sellers.

Thank you. Eagerly waiting build thread on the solid gold sub
