  1. Hi fellas, Would you have any inputs for me.. I need to get my 116710 SuperFranken with converted Y3135 to get waterproofed, dial alignment checked, some light stuff.. Who could I send it to in Europe to perform the job ? Thank you guys !
  2. Hey guys, This case has been offered to me.. Would love to know your input about its authenticity, thinking about it for my GMT SuperFranken... Thank you by advance for the time taken into it. Cheers
  3. Interested too. They are some options but Phong is really the guy..
  4. Why did you post everywhere on the forum and digging into post from 2007 and not happy posts ? What the point ? Building some message count ?
  5. My passport is a long phrase, always the same, but with one variation to each site : the name of the site ! It's easy to remember, hard to crack, long enough with numbers and special character .. Everyone should do that.
  6. Some guys on the board (watch makers and watch smith ) have ST account, just ask And rrtvn is a well know fake seller for a long time on eB but one can say where does he source the parts, probably the initial material are imported from Vietnam and they are engraved in Italy. It's a shame that he passes those parts as genuine for almost ten years. And people are still buying and no one is complaining . Knowing eBay's feedback system, believe me he's a talented seller and he has a SUPER after sale and customer service to avoid at maximum any negative feedback ...
  7. Hi guys Just some pictures and words now my project is complete .. I just LOVE it. The road has been hard but it's rewarding to have such a great piece on my wrist. Now the next step... A gem of course. It will come. It's too damn good. I wanted a Franken GMT 116710 at maximum half the price of the gen.. It's done. Here are the specs : - Noob V3 correct case set & random serial : 350$ - genuine full bezel set, insert, hyrtel ring etc .. 650$ - genuine AR crystal and gasket : 350$ - genuine 704 crown & tube : 150$ - genuine dial : 350$ - genuine hand set : 250$ - Yuki 3135 : 350$ - Misiekped Magic work to convert it to 3185 : 700$ - LF band links w correct SEL stampings + Noob V3 perfect clasp : 100$ Total cost around 3200$. A little bit more than half the gen... But almost gen... And serviced, regulated, wonderful work from Mike... Really THE man. Some pics ... I'm very happy.
  8. Hi guys, Thanks to Ryan, I have the opportunity today to give you a pictorial comparaison of three famous bracelets. We hear a lot about those, the best combo being "NOOB CLASP + LF BAND" for great franked 116710 projets, which Im deep into it. I Then bought - Noob 78200 - LF 78200 - LF YachtMaster 78200, known as one of the best. I took some pictures, make some trys, I went for the classic combo Noob clasp + LF Band, its the best fit for my Noob V2 116710 Case. Engravings are not quite good but 78200 correct, coronet is superb, SEL fitment is almost very very good, quality of every links has been checked, noob clasp working perfectly, bracelet has been oiled.. Here are the pictures - NOOB on the LEFT and TOP - LF at the middle - YachtMaster LF at the right, and bottom. Please share your thoughts ! Cheers
  9. Lol Phong never exactly cared about patent, copyright, etc... As all other dealer's, maker's .. He's more talented, has a better reputation, but let's face it, this business is illegal, producing those parts is highly illegal, selling those parts is a felony and buying those parts is a felony too depending of the country... But that is the game... Sometimes I feel that some guys forget it but that's the true. You can debate and argue as much as you want about the margins of the GEN industry etc.. There are some arguments.. But our hobby is illegal, make some western company loose money, loose jobs etc.. Without being catastrophic, this hobby is at least unethical but so much fun.
  10. Prices of ETAs are going to increase incredibly.
  11. Those parts are great but slightly overpriced. But thats the price for quality stuff and good customer service if you know exactly what you need and want..
  12. Amazing. Glad he made it though. Those are crazy mother******* animals.
  13. Thank you guys ! I'm in Deauville ! Come on see the sea !
  14. Nomos is a good brand, classical, a lot of military guys love to wear Nomos in external operations. I always saw that. Its good technical products, german quality. And no tricky software involved
  15. Hi friends, I decided to stop lurking and start involving I live in France, in the country, 2 kids I love, 1 wife I love even more,and.. I always loved watches and horlogery.. First AP, back in the days, then Panerai and since 4 years Im a Rollie guy. Im a member on RG for a long time but those days, the forum is too much about modern watches..Not very serious.. Whereas I always loved vintage watches,, I did conduct great projects, I had my own watch company back in the 90's (custom dial), I love to repair, try new things.. I dont have any watch left but a lof of parts so maybe for a new project, I dont know .. I am in good contact with some modern here and around to make great project.
