preacher62 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 This might be the big deal of the day for someone. 3035 with gilted dial and hands and gold crown. $1800.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=200400557794&Category=31387&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think the dial is suspect? What model has a gilt dial and white gold surrounds on the indices? If this is supposed to be a "Bond" sub dial, it's not correct. I'm no Rolex expert, by a long shot, but I can't remember any late model Subs with gilt dials. Certainly stand to be corrected if I'm wrong. Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Not sure which one you are looking at. The surrounds are gold...not white. Most all the gold or TT subs have a gilted dial and have for a couple of decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Preacher, You are correct, i forgot completely about the TT and Gold subs, I was focused on vintage stainless steel subs. My bad. Movement would work with anything, dial would only work if you were building a Franken TT or Gold, correct? Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hey...not prob. It's SS for me, too. I have a TT rep that is really high end, but it stays in the watch box. Once in a while, on Sunday I wear it. It's a really great watch, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Nice. You gotta ask yourself; "The case, crystal and bracelet. What the hell?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm just saying... If the movement is serviced might be a good deal for a franken...for and orthopaedic surgeon. Could probably buy a gen for just a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce79 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Make an offer...you never know. But if you're buying just for the movement, you can buy a running datejust with the same movement for the same price or less...those sub hands are worth some coin though...even though the tritium is flaking. I would bet this movement needs a service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm just saying... If the movement is serviced might be a good deal for a franken... Oh yeah, definately. It's a good service you pointed it out. It's just that everytime I see a movement for sale with dial and stem, I just wonder what happened to the handsome carrying case they came in, erstwhile known as 'the rest of the watch'. It's odd, unless all three components came from three different scources. If there were such a thing as a true 1:1 replica Rolex cases out there, an aftermarket Italian TT Rolex style bracelet, gen bezel/insert and crystal? You'd come in well under the wire for a gen 16613 and have one hell of a Franken. But it would still cost you. Like Ubi's 116520's. Cheaper, but certainly not cheap. And he has 2X. The yin-yang twins? 'Cachinnnnng! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm spending on an MBK 16610 right now. It's looking good. I don't need more than one project at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
