Flat S comes both in newer and older models. Why did you change the tube, it has the same OEM specifics and fits perfectly a gen crown..

nice WM9

the only thing that reminds me of a rolex is the name "submariner"

post a pic of the PIMP bezel, I love it!

No no, you'll have to go 3900mtrs to receive the watch

no it's easier!

damn nice pics and sub You covered the "flat S"

@laz: I'm out of my town, as you know I'll take some pics on friday. @freddy: nice to hear it from you

Post edited: I used a 2836-2 simple movement. Yes, I followed your advise and I looked for a 3055 DW that fits perfectly, it was pretty expensive but it is definitely worth. @piratezeus: I cannot remember, as I started collecting parts 6 months ago, but more ore less: Case: 150 eur crown + tube: around 60 eur Dial: 120 eur Plexi crystal : 40 eur jubilee: 200 eur ETA mov: 80 eur hands: 15 eur DW: 40 eur!! everything is NOS, except the case, but it's almost perfect anyway.

After a 16610 tribally modded, this is another completed franken project. I know subs and dj are not so original This time kelster helped me, I sent him all the parts and he took care of my watch. There's no need to say that transaction was flawless, I'm so happy to have found such nice people on the forum. I spent almost 6 months to get all the parts, at the beginning because last year I was a noob , later because it's really hard to find these days a correct DW with open '6 and '9 date font wich turns in the same ETA direction. Here it is: Genuine dial Gen 16014 case Gen crown and tube Gen 62510H jubilee Gen plexy crystal Clark hands 3055 datewheel ETA 2836-2 Some pics: Thanks again to kelster Cheers

Cousinsuk is the way to go, for EU based members Ofrei also delivers, but it's soooo slow

well, at least you received your group buy watch.. I've not received mine and ttk is unreachable (by me)

Most of their watches are the same, Z-series Submariner, AP Royal Oak 2008, Yachtmaster (not released yet) are different. At the moment they are the only source. I'm pretty sure DJ and DD are the same, as well as Daytona.

It's the old TW best case with lugholes, really rare now. MBK sells the same. The crystal looks really good, nice to know that it could fit easily..

Crystal, bracelet and insert look gen to me. Beautiful GMT, compliments.

Until the factory makes profit, they don't need to fix it, they just sell them.

This should be mostly correct..

What about the dial? Are you going to leave the standard noob one? Btw looks really cool, I'm not sure I would do it on a gen, but for a noobmariner sounds good.

watchmaterial.com

A newbie who has only seen bad reps for years on globalreplicas.com or other scam sites priced 950$, could find a good deal an MBW used for 900$. Is not a case that all the scam sales like that often finish with a newbie that privately send a PM and grab it. edit: I mean it's correct to preserve members not allowing peple to scam them just because they're newbies.

So "ring lock system" and "original gas escape valve" is truly engraved

It's just the pic or they still have the same date font problem, with the 28 misaligned? Imho SD is not so terrible, and I like the maxi dial. I don't think I will be able to wear such a huge watch BTW. What I dislike is that Rolex is getting more and more "fashion" every year.. losing elegance.

Ubi's daytonas, no doubt.. First because the actual Daytona is a bad rep, second because I love frankens, third because it has a lot of rare parts inside. Almost everyone could just spend that money, but what he did is priceless.

With a custom crystal it will become the best out of the box rollie, better than noob, imho.. Compliments for the nice watch, but if I remember right also the old SSD has a gen like "snap in" bezel insert.

3135 has the same ETA progression, 3035 goes in the opposite way. A 16234 uses 3135, so it will work If you build a 160xx datejust (3035 mov), you'd need a dw overlay (not gen) with open 6 and 9 font, that runs in the same ETA direction
