Yup I go on there for the laughs as well. My favorite is when someone buys a watch and then asks " what does everyone think?" its too late now dude you bought it and if it was a total franken junker hes gone and you never gonna see him again.. ask BEFORE you buy The vintage rolex marketplace is a minefield and those that dont know will get fleeced! I found that being interested and building reps , you learn soo much more about the details of the watch and what to look for because we OBSESS over the details. I developed OCD because of this damn hobby lol

Thank you [emoji1317] On jubilee. Don’t remember if I posted this pic here. [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The new one will be an improvement. If that is a gen insert it is from a 16750 I am still a bit rusty on IDing inserts I buy my rep inserts onl eBay and age them myself. I could help you out with that If you need one and have a specific fade in mind. A selection of a couple of my favourites Sky blue / cherry red.

I think I may have found the watch on IG that was the inspiration of your dial. [emoji7][emoji7] AFAIK this is gen with natural patina. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

VERY NICE WORK

Looks good on a strap. [emoji1303] I’ve started making single pass straps out of super soft upholstery grade leather. Feather optional but thought I would try it out. Also got some case-backs laser engraved for my explorers. Inspired by the 60’s 1016 brochure with the nautical star and Milky Way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Nanuq is correct I did apply a light coat of coffee on the hands with a fine brush...I also apply it to the metal portions as it does make it look aged. Sorry I thought you were asking if I had lumed the hands

Thank you brother [emoji1317]. Your dial is stunning and as luck would have it, the hands are from the original build and are a very close match to your dial lume. [emoji1316][emoji7] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
