  1. The dial is actually quite good. Nice bright white raised print with clean crisp serif fonts. The quality is comparable to gen...better than TC PA dial. More information on the JJS 16610 Submariner has bee added.. it is called "The JJS Experience"... Here is the link...https://www.horologyboard.com/categories/supporting-vendors-and-modders-area.57/
  2. You have to register as a member on Horologyboard.com to view the pics.. I am doing great bro...:)
  3. There is a new premium 5 digit sub builder in town. It is called the JJS 16610LN Submariner. Has anyone heard of it yet? Check out the link and decide for yourselves what you think of it.One of our members got one and did a review vs. a TC sub. Here is the link to it. https://www.horologyboard.com/threads/tc-v7x-vs-jjs-16610ln-review.443/
  4. Yes..that is the problem. It just wont close and stay closed. It pops open too easy..even on its own most times...lol.
  5. Blackholejim over on www.Horologyboard.com has a bunch..
  6. Gen clasp..gen datewheel..gen insert...gen crown..gen tube...and a good service ate a must....pm me if anyone want gen dw's and clasps...i kniw a great source of any gen parts...
  7. yep..it's a piece of [censored]...but it is the best case that came out of the WM9 factory, when TC took over.
  8. Yep, that is a TC case from the very first batch of 100 ever made.
  9. Sigmas appeared in late 1970....there were three versions.... up to 1975.
  10. Sigma's are even more expensive...the batons are 18K white gold and there is speculation that the coronet is as well...... If you have a sigma dial in like condition...70-72....$5500-$6500.00 USD, 73-74........$5800-$6800.00 USD, 75.....$8500-$10,000.00 USD
  11. In this shape...$3800-$4500.00 USD....maybe more.. Vintage 1972-1974.
  12. if you can send a few more pics(closeup) of the font....I can give you a more definite answer..however...I stand by what I say. The aftermarket ones that I have seen have a vintage look to them, and show just a little wear...I have seen it all; but at this point I will not sway my opinion until I get a better look at the font.Two key areas would be the numbers 50, 140, . 4 in 140 kisses the 0. 5 in 50 almost touches the dot. As well, the font has a wing or pointed tip on several of the letters and numbers; but not all of them on the gens....need to take a closer look. If I can see what makes me happy...i would change my mind; but i do not want to see you get ripped off.
  13. I doubt the seller has any idea.I've seen this specific aftermarket bezel ring before.I have no idea where they are made; but they are "scary good".
  14. bezel ring is too thick....font is not correct....machining is not correct.
  15. the vintage seller may not be aware him/herself either that this bezel is not gen.
  16. I have seen enough gen Daytona's, have easy access to NOS vintage Daytona parts, many reference books, and know exactly what to look for when it comes to gen parts. I wish I could tell you this is gen; but unfortunately it is not.
  17. hey everyone...just wanted to chime in. Bezel is a very accurate aftermarket piece representing an MK1.
  18. yes..100% correct including coronet....
  19. 100% gen...value...$300.00..no more.
  20. ......maybe some day..but for now..i was able to give the wifey a wonderful anniversary..
