Start with the thickest plexi you can find, and you'll still have plenty left to keep polishing out the scratches when you're retired.

I hate you. Nice work.

Hi. Read.

Used to get some nice egg rolls at a little stop in Champaign off 57. I wonder if it's still there. Welcome to the site Chris.

But he keeps hitting the "LUNCH" button by mistake...

Adolph Schild 5203, or 5206 with day removed. Can be found NOS in Zeno-Watch Explorer with day and date removed, which would actually make theirs 5202s. But who's gonna argue about a moment that hasn't been made since the mid 70s? They're all the same ébauche anyway.

Thin font is not off at all. It is just as correct as a worn out fat font. The thin font bezel was on my first Rolex and had exactly the same look.

All the dials are valuable... At least they will be shortly if they aren't mutilated.

Trivial. (And Nuqi still needs a spankin')

In your case I suppose I could take your sick 15xxs off your hands and send you a new nickel 2428-2. Or install, as the case may be. ;^)

The insert is good. Don't change it. The only thing glaringly wrong is the crown. Nice watch.

Ooh... The Roadkill KingFrog Widemouth Bile-spewer version. Nice find.

Genuine facsimile of a modified replication.

Confusion

Shhh! I'm not ready for the prices to go up just yet.

And for the record, anyone who doesn't like their crappy old A2xx, 4xx, 5xx, 6xx, 7xx, 10xx, 11xx, 15xx, 20xx, 21xx, 22xx, 30xx, 31xx, 40xx, 41xx & 65xx Aegler/RWC movements, I'll be glad to pay postage to get them out of your hair, in any condition, just to help put you at ease.

No. ETA is not a Rolex movement. Rolex Watch Co was not a Rolex movement either, until recent acquisition and consolidation. RWC was the renamed Aegler, which made movements for Rolex and Gruen until Wilsdorf invested a significant amount of money in them to convince them to produce movements exclusively for Rolex, hence the name change. Cases have not always been Rolex either. A L Dennison was an early supplier, and Borgel was the producer of water resistant cases prior to theirs being used in 1922 by Rolex. The first Oyster cases were made in 1926 by C R Spillman SA.

I miss my ugly sub...
