    Unfortunately I've seen that puretime makes new warranty cards. I don't condone it.

    There's just 1 use for that kind of stuff, and its effects will hurt someone in the end.

    na man dw, i got a gen with everything cept that and it triggers my OCD having the plastic thing without nothing inside

  2. Good evening as per title i am looking for a fat (flat) 4 green bezel insert,

    does anyone know a good source for one of it?

    either gen o rep it doesnt matter (as long as rep insert fits the gen)

    why? my gen fat four came back from service with a slim 4 insert as a replaced part 😓

     

    picture for reference, i already searched ebay and the fat fours they got there are really far from gen (4 is rounded and not pointy)

    please somebody tell me someone in vietnam or idk can fix this thank you

    i've just realized these dealers only provide the dial, do you know anyone that could sell an entire watch with such dials?

    Not sure about the parts, but if you look hard enough with enough £, it's always possible. 

     

    About assembling, I'm sure mickey (STEEL) would handle it, he's based in Finland and always does great work. ;)

    thank you very much for the hint,

    which platform should i search for the dial? ebay?

  5. Hi all, i've just received  my v7 noob hulk from pt (on SA3135),

    i want to start my very first franken project so i have some questions: (yes i've already tried search function)

    - does it fit a gen ceramic insert? (how much does it cost, where can i source one)

    - does a gen dial fit an SA3135 ? (where can i source one (yea i know good luck with this))

    - which bracelet is more accurate than the noob one?

    - any other mods i would really need on my noob? (cgs? bezel? crown\tube?)

    - is there a watchsmith in EU able to do this sort of frankenizement?

    thank you all boys

    I have not purchased a v7 yet.  I was thinking about selling this v6s for $350 or thereabout and getting the v7.  Let me know if you are interested.  Happy to do an M2M sale conus.

    I don't think there is a mixing issue with the v7's either.  Andrew @trustywatchguy TrustyTime can help you.  Look for the v7 stock number and he'll set you up.  

    My 3135 problem was likely an outlier. Did you see the mainspring pic above?  It simply was mangled by the rotor.  I have never seen this happen on any reps that I have owned.  A fluke. 

    What to look for:  Centered pearl/triangle on the 12 with the engraved crown on the rehaut/ look carefully over the bezel numbers...make sure they are even and smooth engravings/solid end link...make sure it's tight against the case/lume supernova paint...make sure it's within the rectangles/circles...no overpaint/date wheel...ask for photos of single and double digits to see how the sit in the cyclops window for centering and alignment.

    Those are 5-6 things are the top items I'd scan for.  Others may chime in for additional checks.

    thanks for the hints,

    also thanks for the deal but i've already placed the order at @PureTime (http://puretime02.com/submariner-116610-lv-green-ceramic-v7-1-1-noob-best-edition-sa3135.html#) cause i am also not conus 

    well only issue i've ever had with rep mvmnts was a swiss eta from eurotimez, rotor unscrew and fell off, all the asians had poor reserve but run solid for years even a 7750 which i abused the chrono function, guess i got lucky.

    are there wokky rehauts still around? cause that had been an issue for subs, when i ll get the QC i guess i'll post pics in this thread so you guys can sort me out :inverted:

    i just hope the green bezel ceramic is gen-"tone" as well as the dial colour
