We have a smart [censored] newbie who knows everything afetr 3 posts Suggest you read up first on reps before making stupid comments having owned several genuine rolex since 1990 I think I know about the brand, as for stupid comments I suggest you think about your own maybe... smartarse probably... and i can understand the skills needed to create something of quality from possibly inferior components but to then buy genuine parts and fit them to a copy I find the concept hard to grasp, why not buy a genuine watch...? bye its been interesting gadget Edited September 3, 2006 by Inspector Gadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Palpatine is absolute genius when it comes to dial aging. What a lovely watch it is!!! Here's a few fun shots of my already departed (sniff) 1680. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 but to then buy genuine parts and fit them to a copy I find the concept hard to grasp, why not buy a genuine watch...? Watch modding is not to everyone's taste. But neither is buying genuines. I started with genuines, and quickly got bored of them. But, there's not much to them. After all, anyone can walk into an AD, throw down ridiculous amounts of money, and have a nice gen, but where's the fun in that? Modding and building is far more interesting to me, and makes the hobby much more enjoyable. But, I can't expect everyone to understand that.

Order a 1665 DRSD from george a few days ago. i am going to get mine in a week or 2 but i would like to know how much would it cost to make them as nice as yours are? and who would do such a job? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 By-tor, why is it departed? how could you get rid of this puppy. I loved it... but I never wore it. I sold it to a fellow member who takes good care of it I'm sure. And you know...the usual...I needed the cash to justify new purchases. I only have the GMT now... but I might get a modern Sub or SeaDweller eventually. Perhaps the vintage wasn't my style afterall? I don't know... sometimes it's difficult to say why you choose to "bond" with some watches... and not with some others. Nothing bad to say about the MBW experience though. Great watches.
