Yes vlydog that is the original bracelet. I considered a gen but I see no need at this time

Here we go-

It's a Bk/Wm9 V2 with gen crown/tube, gen insert and gen crystal. The gen crystal really sets this already incredible watch on fire!

I'd say V3 with gen insert

No sir.

Keep em coming...answer in a few hours- unless someone gets it first!

any other takers?

Care to guess the specs?

I've been after this one for a long time! Well the time has come and it has finally arrived:D

Comments/crtiques are welcome:D

Without further delay:

I thought about getting an NDT trading dial but Pbdad did such an incredible job with the lume- I see no need now.

A gen dial would be around 5k

There is a set on VRF

Beautiful job on the watch!

Thank you fellas!

So is this the vintage Rollie club you speak of?

Not sure about the bracelet clasp (are you sure it is gen) or the size of the lug holes (may be a bit too large), but other than that it looks great.

All you need now is a freshly serviced 1575 & working Hev (yes, it never ends).

The bracelet is gen. The 580 endlinks are rep..I'm on the hunt for some gen 585 endlinks:)

Well fellas this one has been a while in the making but I finally got it back yesterday and I can say it is now complete. I may be wrong but I haven't seen a DRSD at this franken level ever:D

Specs:

- Original MBW DRSD 1665 case (accepts all gen parts 1:1)

- MBW dial with vintage lume done by the master, PBdad.

- GEN Original Tropic 39 Acrylic Superdome Crystal (as used by Rolex on the original 1665's)

- GEN Bezel Insert & Recessed Pearl- gen vintage service insert from Rolex

- GEN Rolex crown and tube with case drilled to accept the gen tube

- GEN 93150 vintage Rolex bracelet- OEM 1665 Rolex bracelet!

- GEN thick rolex spring bars

- Case was Completely Refinished, Aged & Rounded and has shaved Crown Guards

- Upgraded Date wheel w/ Correct Font (6/9)

Sorry for the quick and dirty pics- this one deserves a proper photo shoot which I should be able to do this weekend.

Of course I've never held a gen DRSD but I can't imagine it feeling/looking any different than this!

Pics for your enjoyment:

Thanks guys. Camera is a nikon D40 with a combination of the 35mm F1.8 prime lens and the kit 18-55 lens.

I'm still not fully weight bearing on my fractured ankle hence the slight camera shake in some pics. I was too lazy to get the tripod:D

Well guys i've been through my fair share of reps (the majority being panerai) but this has got to be my all time favorite until something tops it!

Started off with Davidsen's incredible 027A with vintage lume and ETA Soprod movt. Added a completely reshaped and polished ultimate CG and a spot on T48 crown (thanks S for all the help!). The watch by itself is fantastic but suffer from the typical thin crown and cg.

I still have a broken ankle and can't really move around a lot so my pictures aren't the greatest and this watch definitely deserves it's own photo shoot soon.

I'm in love:p :p

Thanks FGD. Your dial is what makes this watch!

Here are pics of my pre-v 203a in a DSN pvd case that has been refinished with a cape cod cloth.

Well guys i've been after a pre-v for quite some time. Needless to say i'm absolutely thrilled with this piece!

Specs:

DSN Pre-V case

PVD treatment completely refinished with cape cod cloth for gen like matte finish (the finish on this is unreal)

T-48 PVD crown

CG refinished with tightened lever and torched lever pin (non coated)

AR-less sapphire.

FGD 203a dial lumed and finished.

I have a light tan strap coming for this baby and I can't wait to get it on. Although the current strap is quite nice to.

Pics for your enjoyment:D

plexi is from dsn

Ok guys..key to the plexi is this.

You need to use turmeric. It's an indian/pakistani spice that's used in a lot of the ethnic cooking.

I took 1 teaspoon turmeric and mixed it with two teaspoons of warm water to make a thin paste.

Then I put the crystal face down in it and left it for about 15-20 minutes.

When I took it off and wiped it clean it had left a nice yellowish hue.

Ok guys..

Here are my results of aging/yellowing the plexi..

needless to say I'm very happy with how it came out!

It's qutie hard to pick up the beauty without sunlight shining on it and it's night here now in Miami so better pics to come tomorrow.

But I think you can see the effect it's created on the plexi. Looks perfectly aged to me now!

It looks too yellow in the second picture but that's not how it appears in person..hard to capture the subtle hue on it without daylight.

doc? is that you?

i thought i saw this in RG yesterday...

still amazing! i love this watch

Hey astro- yes it's me!

Nice watch!!

Curious about the Molinja too~

I believe the hands are from Davidsen

Big thanks goes out to Islandshawaii for this..

just arrived today and i'm in vintage love!

The 3601 molinja movt in this looks gorgeous in person....I know it's not a cortebert but it's works for me! And look at that profile shot of the plexi

Hopefully this will be the first of a few pieces for me.

I know the CG is upside down for this model but I like the engraving to be visible:D

Onto the pics!

Yup- just heard from them as well..- 800 for the 6154..and only bank transfer.

Unfortunately I do not want to risk sending some randoms money for a watch that may or may not even exist.

$820!

Hope he upgrades his casebacks like he did with the SS models.

So with the new CG the t crown needs no stem mods or mods itself to get a tight fit?

Hmm..I wish we could trace the exact source of the CG you are using because i've had bad luck in the past finding a CG that fits nicely with DSN's cases.

Looks beautiful with that t48 crown!

Davidsen sent me an email saying that the 057 is ready but I didn't see him post it up here yet!

Let me put up the photos he sent me..
