  1. I have a 100% gen except for the case 1680, and the case is GREAT, however, once a Rolex guru (The 3rd who opened the case) saw the inside of the case, they said it was "too perfect" and that the tolerances around the movement were too tight, or that the case was too "thick". It is a Vietnam case. Who here knows of or can take this case and make it as perfect as possible inside,with some proper "aging" on the outside? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  2. Quick question: It is time to start playing in the water and I don't like to swim in gens and don't want to trash my Pelagos. Of all of my reps, this seems to be the highest rating from what I read somewhere, but was wondering what you guys think about the water resistance of the 2 line ZF Tudor Pelagos? Thanks in advance for the wealth of info on this board! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  3. I would like to know this as well. Has anyone done a Franken of a 389? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  4. I am in love with this watch. Who do I contact? Domi? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. Who has a Franken of this thing of beauty or are there some good AP builders out there? I have never wanted an AP until I saw this magnificent thing......... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Update: They sent QC pics now and said they are shipping the watch. The Daytona does look great through! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  7. Now, after SEVERAL days, I was just informed that my watch wasn't in stock, even though they charged my card SEVERAL days ago. So..... I have paid, have no watch, and nothing on the way. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  8. I will let you know on my experience. I paid for an item a few days ago and haven't heard back after a couple of emails. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  9. Oh wow! So, this should be a direct replacement for my gen case and crystal? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  10. Sweet! I just need a bezel myself! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  11. Hello everyone. I just picked up a nice little Tudor 79260 and it was sold to me with the understanding that it had a crystal and insert replacment. Well, as you can see, the bezel is totally incorrect. I have found the correct insert, but the bezel confuses me. It appears to NOT have the bezel at all. I am sure there are other compatible bezels for other Tudors and Rolexes, but need some help in sourcing or knowing WHICH bezel to get. ??? Sorry for the pic quality. I am multitasking. Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  12. I might have you that "practice " bridge! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  13. He has done a few things for me in the past, does great work, but doesn't do bridges... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  14. I need a Valjoux movement bridge engraved. Who would you recommend? Many thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  15. Mike on a Bike? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  16. Who would YOU use CONUS to finish a rolex Franken that you have accumulated parts for? All responses appreciated as well as PM's...... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  17. Honestly, I would rather have 6 Franken PAM vintage pieces from good builders than 1 of any watch.. They are addictive. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  18. My current favorite. Just came in last week from Pratt.... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  19. Ok, I want to see who shares in this thought process? I don't like to own Rolex, Breitling, and Omega reps, rather prefer gens. I have a few, but once again, I just prefer gens on these brands. But with PAMS, it's different for me. With so many incredibly nice reps/Frankens of PAMS, I almost PREFER the idea of having frankens. I own about 12 Franken PAMS right now, and one gen, and really could take it or leave it. A beautiful Pratt made vintage PAM or a vintage PAM with a nice Cortebert movement just makes me drool with a nice strap. The idea of what a piece of the same caliber of one of these as a gen costs is not only insane, but most would never consider wearing it. Where, as it is, I can choose a different PAM framken to match wardrobe with ease and not regret wearing them wherever. I am just wondering how many others share in this thought process? Rep Rolex = a little Cheesy, yet Franken PAM = cool custom watch? Is this an indicator of our perceived quality of the brand itself? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  20. I really need to have an expert look at my current dial and figure this thing out. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  21. Ok, that's what I was thinking. Thanks for the confirmation. Sigh... There goes a few more bucks :-) Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  22. I have seen some conflicting things, so I figured that I would ask a dumb question that I should probably know: Were the there any 1969 Rolex 1860 Submariners made WITHOUT red writing on the dial (all white?)? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  23. Riding the bike to a Bluegrass festival in Alabama.. Not the typical scenario for a PAM, but it was perfect none the less.. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  24. Just came in the mail today back from the great Pratt.. VERY pleased... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  25. Getting a Tudor 94010 Sub with a Gen dial and am wondering if a 2783 ETA movement will work? Thanks in advance! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
