Hi, I happen to make jewelry as a hobby so I used my buffing wheel . But you could also do it with any buffing pad and use cheap polishing compound from hardware store. Just pick a fine compound, not a rough cutting compound. They make compounds for stainless steel. You could try using a Dremel, with small buffing wheel, and add the compound. But a large wheel is easier .

I'm not an expert, but what I believe is that which ever one is the matte finish, that you have to polish.....That is a Swiss made one. So it has a great fit. So Clark's and a few others sell it I believe. I bought one and the retaining ring it comes with fits the bezel perfectly. Polishing it easy enough.

The sellita 2836-2 costs 236 dollars according to Ofrei site. That's not cheap at all for old technology. That is more expensive than an ETA 2846. Sellita is jerking us around too. They should be 99 dollars I think.

Yeah, Josh always delivers. Everything should be fine.

Yeah, you have more control with hand controlled pads. I just noticed your custom endlinks. Pretty neat. Did you do that out of necessity or is that a "thing" to do now?

Ahhh, I see. Your brushing is perfect. Can you tell me what you used to make that brush work please? Brass wire wheel like so.....? https://www.riogrande.com/Product/Brass-Wire-Wheel-Brush/338224

Wow, nice! What bracelet source is this? Gen?

Oh, thanks.

I'm so confused. What are "baps" ?

I think I need to explain more. What I mean is why is there no sterile but highly accurate one being made kind of like the Star Time case that is for 3135 caliber for 180 bucks. If it's sterile then there is no infringement.

Yeah, this looks excellent ! If I saw you walking by me I would 100% think it's gen. It looks great. Like someone else said.....I could never wear one. The 4 or 5 wealthy people I know don't even wear one. 2 of them wear stainless rollies. I'm broke so no way for me. :).

I think it depends on what you want. I'm sure it matters what model you want but generally speaking.... I see nothing wrong with using Cartel cases and paying gifted and experienced people to hand shape them. It's way more economical to me. But someone has a lot of cash and want a case that takes gen. Specific movements then I can see why the Phongs and other crazy expensive cases are worth it too. I'm still amazed that the outdated or patent ended old Rolex or Tudor cases are not officially made by third parties. It sure would simplify things.

Nice. What camera did you use? Nice macro photos.

But isn't a gen 93150 bracelet about 800 bucks alone? So more like 2k for total cost of the nice above example.

Well their level of attention to detail is uncanny. Can someone who speaks German ask them to make some 5513 cases or something else? :).

They provide a case or serial number. Too bad that does not make it easier to check for being gen.

Wow, crazy.

The mere fact that whoever gets to order from them first is going to be ordering 2 dozen or more should prove that "we are in the industry". That's probably how they will accept someone is if they order so many. I make jewelry as a hobby, and from what I've learned is that some of the jewelry supply companies have to fill out a lot of paperwork because some people launder money by turning in scrap gold. But of course, other jewelry supply companies are simply not selling to the public for normal reasons.

I don't know which one but maybe a fat font? Either way...... I assume you guys just can tell if the age looks right?

So are they trying to get our emails or could this be a ddos attack?

2 to 5 months! Wow, interesting way they do business. As long as they would tell customers of a long wait then that is OK.

Oh my god, rolexes for 500 dollars? And gold was only 300 an ounce then.... What happened to our economy and prices?

Ah, crap that sucks! Hope you get better.

Sorry you got hurt. You ran into a tree in a car or running....Biking? I've been know to catch a concrete pole with my shoulders when running during the heat of the day on endless pavement.

If I was Rolex ....I would say "we make the finest watches and the numerous attempts to replicate them is flattering evidence of that fact. We sell all of our watches and will continue to do so for generations to come"... Perhaps you heard of HBO? When it was shown that Game of Thrones was the most illegally downloaded show in history..... Instead of making a negative headline over it.....They released a statement that overall said they were flattered and proud. It was brilliant. They still make tons of money from HBO subscriptions, so who cares that people download it. If Rolex had any balls...They would do the same thing and admit that replicas don't harm their profits. Maybe it's because I'm American and now have to deal with liars like Trump...So I'm jaded by lying.
