  1. Long time trying to find very old tread( post) on all 3 Foras( RWG, RWI, RG) I belive, it was most provocative-funny post about replica watches. It was made in form of 30-40 questions, like " why rep makers producing see tru casebacks, to show crapy movement ?" or " Why ,after you got the Grail, four month later you started to think about another Grail ? etc.. I belive it was dated 2006-2007... Thanks.
  2. Hello guys, I had the opportunity to get a DJ (lookalike) case, crowns, ETA 2846 and an Explorer dial for cheap (was on ebay). It is my first 'real' project and so I have some questions. Here the things I got: 1 generic, 2 Rolex crowns (I don't know the 530/600 very well, so I can't say if they are gen, but I doubt it) The stem does not seem to be the right one for the 2846 The second hand is slightly bent, the minute hand is rubbish (bent and loosing its lume) but the hour hand is great because it is curved ! The case has some flaws; the hole for the tube is messed up and the sides are not curved. Lughole position looks good, enough space and meat to drill them. The caseback is very flat, but brushed. And the dial: I searched a while and it seems to be a MBK/MBW dial because of the 'SWISS MADE', the printing is crisp, and has a nice lume. I tried to find out if there were any SL service dials with that 'SWISS MADE' printing, but I couldn't find any. My To-Do list: - sand the case a bit to get that curved look - drill the lugholes - drill and retap the hole and fit a Clark's 24-6020 (?) tube - polish the caseback partly, the brushed area must be a bit smaller in diameter - fit a Clark crystal or a GS if I can find one in Europe (is there any source?) - clearcoat the dial - find a minute hand - find an ETA stem and hopefully one of the crowns fit the tube - find a 7836 or jubilee bracelet Can anyone help my with the crowns and tubes. Which tap do I need and can anyone tell me something about the crowns and stem I got? How does the dial looks like? It looks good to me but I'm no expert, the 'SWISS MADE' bothers me, but otherwise I don't want to spend much money on another one. So what do you think? I appreciate any advice! Thanks, 1680
