Not too crazy about the gen, but the green sapphire model has always intrigued me. Just something different, I suppose. The watch would be better without the orange, IMO, but whatever. Here's a like to Josh's site, I see some green going on, and the case looks a little thicker than DJ cases also. http://www.pc-80108.com/0264-p-4664.html

I see how it goes in, there is a jewel that attatches to the pallet fork, but do I need to rotate the wheel around to add tension to the spring, or just put it in at its natural orientation?

Do I have to do anything, like wind the spring or anything? or just line it all up and there you go?

Kinda scary if that really works. Maybe I'll try it later.

Ordered....paid.....out of stock.....wait 10 days for restock and then ship. I'm freaking out now

Don't know anyone who does, and registration is closed....Anyone who can help out PM me and THANKS

Man, you guys should start an authentication service. Sell it on eBay.

I just read the description on the Rolex site......The watch is self is very impressive, especially if you don't look at it:p I like that new extension clasp. Titanium/steel back.....synthetic domed sapphire....very cool. Looks like they would have quite a tough time replicating this one. Maybe they should try to look at the patent drawings and rep it off of that and we could see one before the AD's do. Now that would be cool.

I ordered an asian 2836 version. What I don't understand about this is, since the watch doesn't function as a true GMT anyway, why couldn't they stack the hands correctly, giving it a better appearence? They would need an HR hand with a larger hole and a GMT hand with a smaller hole, switch it around, and there you go......or am I missing something? The CHS version may change the time/gmt time like the gen, but the date changes at the GMT hand's midnight, so is it worth it to spend +/-$200 more? But seriously, why cant they just source different hands for the 2836 IHS version and stack them correctly?

youpmelone is correct, Rolex24h.com is a scam..... There was something about this in another GMTII thread. I suspect that the guy may also try to steal your banking info. Shoot him some emails from different addy's and see how many US account #'s he gives you with different names, probably stolen accounts that he's adding some $$ to before he pulls it all out. BAD NEWS

I'm now thinking of picking up the asian 2836 version. I guess it's 213 shipped. Lot better for me than going for the gen eta for 100 more, especially with all the old eta's running around.

55/100 huh? Ya ok. I got this off of facebook BTW, not exactly a reliable source for info...... Kind of reminds me of the 17% of all statistics are made up on the spot thing...

Ouch, you should have asked that before you took the bezel off. The noob factory watches are basically one way.....you can take it off, and thats it. I assume the original bezel was destroyed when you removed it? Actually, looks like it has been done.....check this: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=75311

I just hate paypal. They're so full of BS and I don't trust a thing they say. They will never help you unless they also benefit. nopaypal.com and paypalsucks.com check it out

bump

maybe your reps are just really good........

I should have bought one on the 1st batch. 388 and shipping was a little over my threshold for an unknown/unreviewed watch. Now 398? For a possible timebomb? Thats nuts. It is a great rep, any observer would be hard pressed to call it out.

Ok, I am about to leave for work right now, I'll have to go back and read the entire thread later when I have time. I left off around where people were talking of the dislike towards automatic billing/recurring payments. How about if the "RWG 300" all PLEDGE to pay on say, the 20th or whenever, to a separate payment location than regular supporters and donors, and then on the 21st or 22nd, Admin or someone can look at whatever it is they look at, and see if 300 people paid? If not, they may have to work a little, but if everyone pays, it can be almost as automatic as recurring automatic payments. I would pay $5 a month no problem for this site. It is the best site of its kind out there.

No problem, now, can we see the dial you're using on that? It looks like a 16030 SS bezel right? I'm thinking of going that route in the near future

Doesn't seem like this should be "rare." Maybe on the bay, but I imagine buying brand new at an AD would get you the same thing, unless they all take the watch out of the shipping material. "WE ARE OFFERING THE FIRST FACTORY SEALED ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA." (on ebay?) Ebay # 260245396618

Now that I think of it, I did use 220 first. But the 220 is very rough, and I stepped it up with higher grain paper to smooth it out. 220 left lines. A cape cod should work, the wheel I used was just faster, like done in 15 seconds fast Hand polishing is measured in minutes.

Freddy, the monarch Polfy doesn't fit the 160xx. But there's a buy it now case on ebay right now for $140 with no bezel or crystal, you can probably re-list the bare case and get at least 50-75 for it. So you'd be paying 70-90 for the back, still less than a whole rep: Item 270239848149 http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Rolex-16014-S...1QQcmdZViewItem
