  1. VSF is up to V3 on theirs. The bracelet is still stainless steel rather than titanium, so the metals don't match, and the bracelet mesh pattern isn't correct either. The watch head itself is titanium and is very light, and they've gotten most of the rest of the details correct. It's missing the tiny notch near the He valve.
  2. 2015 Lexus ES300h Luxury MINE MINE MINE 2017 Hyundai SantaFe Limited Ultimate FAMILY TAXI Lexus: great ride, relatively primitive electronics for a '15, WUS-friendly analog clock, 36mpg Hyundai: pedestrian ride, slick tech including 360-degree camera, RIP: 2005 MB E320CDI. Got into a fight with a doe running at full gallop. Ended in a draw. MB was driveable but cost of repairs exceeded Blue Book value, so it got traded for the Lexus. The deer bounced off the car and ended up off the other side of the road on her way to meet Bambi. I am pretty sure with a lesser car the doe would have died with her head in my lap.
  3. The seller's in Italy, so you know it's 100% genuine shinola. https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/gmt-master-6542-by-pan-am-radio-dial-bakelite-bezel--id9937328.htm
  4. Yeah the "wedge" shaped connector is supposed to give a better fit on the 501B endlink, vs. the round that was made for the 580. I found the Chrono24 listing at the top of your post - yikes $2008! Do you have the link for the other one, at the bottom of your post? Thanks!
  5. I'd just go with the components you like best. Here are some of the relevant production dates: rivet bracelet 1954-1967 applied-marker dial 1984-1989 MKIII fat font insert ~1966 - 197?
  6. I'd like to be able to put a MilSub/5517/"minute hashes all the way around" style insert in a 16610 genspec bezel. I found a couple of "No" answers on very old (2010/2012) threads and was hoping someone might have come up with one in the past seven years.
  7. With that dial, drilled lugs and open 6/9 dw you could stop and call it an '88 16610 😁.
  8. 1990 16610 had a closed 6/9 datewheel. Gen open 6/9s for 3135 are pretty hard to find.
  9. 1988 bracelet would have an M date code. K is 1986.
  10. 399 euros = a nice profit on a Viet insert. At least this one has the correct shape on the 4, which many of the 'Nam inserts don't.
  11. The 16800 came with 593s first, but then 501Bs. The 16610 came with 501Bs first. It stands to reason then that the 593 would fit the 16610.
  12. And what kind of beer I should drink when doing the fix.
  13. Reported. The "70216" on the link is a common fake indicator (and not a valid number for any Rolex part or product).
  14. PAMs are not dress watches. End of discussion.
  15. I got one of those for free from an eBay fraudster.
  16. '72 was 5 months after Nixon "closed the gold window" and unleashed the inflation beast at the Federal Reserve, who could now create money without any assets to back it.
  17. TC v6; add gen parts as you find them. v7 won't take a gen/rep 3135 without modding.
  18. Hmmm... you've shown that you're not aware that you don't conjugate the verb "to show" with an apostrophe. Everyone here is a blank slate. Up to YOU to fill in the blanks.
  19. Here's the most recent sale of this "same" watch: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192902550030?nordt=true And here is a link to the five identical listings from the same seller, which all sold in the $5,000-$5,500 range: https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&nordt=true&_ssn=mike375&item=192902550030&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_osacat=31387&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=president&_sacat=31387 Seller has 100% feedback with 17,000 transactions. Only one of the five Day-Date sales has feedback but it is positive. He also has + feedback on a $10K GMT. Note that these are OysterQUARTZ Day-Dates (ref 19018) with a croc strap, not a RLX bracelet.
  20. 20mm lug width only or 19mm (6xxx Daytona, Air King, OP, etc.) available as well?
  21. So does this explain the existence of "rwg.cc" and "rwg.bz" (the latter being the "original" that was later revived?). There's also something called "RWF" (Replica Watch Forum, www.rw-forum.com) that contains duplicates of a lot of rwg.cc's threads, but with dates and poster names all mangled.
  22. Misalignment of the date wheel and the fake diamonds (look at the baguette at 6) would be enough for me to pass. Plus, the gen President platinum goes for $$$$$$. Unless you laugh when you spill red sauce on your Brioni suit, you're not going to convince anyone that your Prez is real.
