I'm in, please let me know :-)

Happy to help you :)

I believe you need a tropic 19 (need to be glued if is the usually silix case) you can get one from clark or cousinuk for cheaper.

No i used the standard dwo from rep and i just replace the dial.

Unfortunatelly i no longer have watch and i do not take picture.

The cartel subs (1680 & 1665) have the standard eta dwo and then glued on top the rolex rep font DWO you see but the position is not the standard ETA.

(i have try whit yuki 1680 eta dial and i have to sent it back and get the one for rlx movement that have dwo position like the rep one)

Choose the dial you prefer, i found personally the MQ dial the best.

The new cartel case are finally good enough for the new long cg's, you just need a bit of moddding in terms of reshape, drill lug holes, replace plexy whit gen t19 or gen spec, gen 703 long crown and gen or gen spec tube, fat springbars and caseback and case engraving by Jmb or Neckyzips. ;)

If you want a Datejust, similar to this, Ryan on Intime have a similar DJ already done whit engravings for 198$ plus shipping for 2813 and 268$ plus shipping for eta clone 2824, here the link and some pictures, is also avaible in pvd version but the SS look great for me

SS one:

Thank you for thre great link Automatico.

Pulled the trigger 

I will post more pic's when is here 

Thank you for the comments guys, he ask 2000$.

I think about go for a gen one, but locally the most reasonable price i found atm is around 6000$ for a good piece, but whit patience probably i could score a good one whit the right price.

I'm still uncertain, i'm more a sub guy, so probably if i could go gen i will buy a submariner.

Hello Guys,

What you think about this Phong 1675 that i have the opportonuty to buy?

It has the following parts  stated by the seller

- Phong Case, CB and Bezel
- GEN 1675 Insert "natural faded"
- GEN 5,3mmCrown and GEN Tube
- GEN Dial (rare Dial with NO lume colour; it was a small serial production)
- GEN GMT Hand
- GEN Plexy Tropic 116
- GEN Spring Bars
- GEN ETA 2893-2 GMT Movement
- Hands Vintage Look from CWP

What you think about it? I'm try to identify the dial MK (should be a MKIV or MKV) and i'm not sure about the gen gmt hands. Waiting for some of ours opinion

Thank you GenTLe, i will contact Walter :-)

I was thinking to use a swiss 7753.

I read someone did this before, but i believe need additional modification.

The one from the bay seems the best solution, but i only found the version whit second@6. I need one whit secons sub@9.

Thank you so much for help about the pushers Alligoat, i will order the PD61-701 type whit the 2.5 x .25 tap for fix the pushers

If i will not have lucky whitin the A7750 i will probably swap for a Swiss one.

I like some of his dial, and the SCG case look good from back.

Obviously as Beachcomber says, and whit the Slay not too good experience, i'm not too confortable to pay his price not too cheap for uncertain item that not match is QC pic.

The last price i see on VRM and the bay for 1520 movements are usually in 1400$ -2000$ range. If you are lucky you could found a better price but consider also the cost of service.

Tritium hands starts from 300$.  the complete phong case is 1450$ if you get only the midcase and caseback you could pay 1000$ and get a  gen bezel and insert for 600$ you still need a gen retaining ring. Add gen plexy and gen crown & tube.

at this point i will use gen dial (ft first pre comex) or costum minh qui comex dial.

If you use comex dial whoopy for eta 2824/2846 i reccomended eta 2824-2 converted to slow beat and whit h4 hands  pinion. Keep phong bezel  assembly and add gen insert. Yuki movement ring  and tc hands.

Great piece, i'm in love whit PCG!

Benvenuto,

Hi, from Italy too, and newbie too!

This is an outstanding place

Hello Guys,

I have got a DW 6239 whitin A7750 converted to manual wind.

Unfortunatelly the watch is not in great condition and missing both pushers, and i will see if Ofrei/Cousin would work, as i read DW not accept gen spec pusher (2.50mm threads).

Anyone know the right size for tap and re-threads the hole?

The subdial at 3 o'clock have the small pinion for attach the subdial hands that is broken, i will replace this parts, but honestly i'm not sure which parts i have to order from Ofrei/Cousin, anyone have had similar problem and could help me identifing the right parts?

I hope a gen 7750 parts replacement would work on my A7750.

Thank you :-)

I would love to see his cases, this could be a great start for a new build

Thank you Whoopy
