anyone know where i can get a bezel insert that lines up better.. i cant stand how the 30 is so off at the bottom. just picked this watch up.. love it, but the inserts gotta go. oops in this pic it shows the arrow off at the top

if i were to buy a rep omega with an asian 2824, would i be able to swap in a swiss 2893 that iv got? i read that the 2893 is thinner. what all would need to be done for it to work? would the case accept it?

thank you, thats great advice..

Just an update, funding for my project has run a bit short.. I need a case thatll accept a gen 18k bezel which I have my eye on one that's on Ebay for $500 but I was kinda looking for something a bit cheaper

How did my post turn into this

Here are a couple pics I took with my phone and a loop

So I got the dial delivered today and it looks WAY better then the pictures and you can hardly really tell the scratches are there unless your real close on an angle, so I think under a crystal youd never notice.. and I also found all the gears to convert me 2834 to a gmt

Well hey if I have to, I'll make my own case.. just gotta find someone that has a mid case laying around so I can make a mold.. iv got almost on ounce 18k I can melt down

Haha yeah I kinda figured r stood for rolex... lol

Can anyone give me a link to the R factory? Or a link to that specific watch if you dont mind?

Boy I wish I had the chance to mess with real rolexes kn my, but then I wouldnt have to build what I want if I could have a real one... so question.. where there 2 types of bezels used for the 1675? I'm gonna have to google the dimensions on the 16753 case so I get the right one too.. I feel like I'm going into this blind, for it's pretty fun haha

I'm also going to order a 2836 asian gmt when I have a bit more more money. I went on a crazy spending spree this weekend, got a bunch of rolex parts.. gonna have to let some of them go now that iv finally decided what I'd like the build, which finding that dial helped lol

I'll post some pics after I get it and its cleaned up. Also does anyone make a rolex dial adapter for an eta movement?

Just ordered some rodico.. thanks alligoat

I'm actually suprised you said that, cause I actually like the scratches too.. and I wouldnt want to ruin it by trying to get them out.. I got this dail for pretty cheap so I'm gonna build a watch around the it

Awesome, thank you aligoat.. so I want to try an build a gmt with the movement and have heard of the 2834s being converted.. any suggestions on where to get a rep case that wont break the bank?

Awesome thanks, I'm wondering the same thing about the scratches

Was wondering if this this a gen dial or rep/refinished.. looks pretty good to me, going to save it for my build

I was wondering if the top plate of a gen rolex 3135 would interchange with yuki 3135, or an A3135?

So this is what iv got to start with, first I was wondering if someone could tell me what ref case I have its 40mm not including the crown, and 47mm lug to lug with 19mm strap. The bezel I have for it pushes on, I think it's missing the click spring of some sort because all it does is turn and no click. Also the movement iv got is an eta 2834 that runs pretty good for now.

I'm new here too but welcome to the forum, been here for a couple days now and love it. Enjoy

I dont really have any builds, mostly just alot of parts. I do have a nice rep sub that I got off the street but theres alot of things that bother me about it, not sure whether to make this one the way I want, or start from something else. I hate how the date window isnt square, the auto movement in it only winds one way and not both, the bezel only turns counter clockwise and is very loose, the lume sucks.. I'm just not sure where to start or even how I should start. Iv got 2 eta movements one is a 25 jewel 2824-2 in a mido and the other is a 17 jewel 2834-2 out of another rep. Also have other parts and peices

Hello to everyone, my name is matt and iv been into watches for a while now, I'm getting into trying to build the things I truly want since I cant afford alot of the gen stuff, kinda picky about details. Anyway, just saying hi
