Nanuq Posted May 26, 2010 Report Posted May 26, 2010 ??? I must have been off ogling the PloProf thread. What'd I miss?
HauteHippie Posted May 26, 2010 Report Posted May 26, 2010 You're just full of mystery and intrigue, aren't you, B?!
alligoat Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 Reminds me of Stilty's 1680, luminova dial and hands, etc. Shoot, Jared says it still needs a service.
mjmj Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 Am I correct to say that the serial number of 3,42x,xxx means that it is meant to be a Red Submariner? I thought the white subs came in after or during 1974 (4,000,000+ Serials). So this is in fact a red sub? Also, is the 93150 bracelet a replacement bracelet? I thought that the 9315 bracelets was used up to after 1974.
mjmj Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 "...the serial number which begins with 3,42x,xxx has been re engraved." Upon closer inspection of the posted pics, it appears that it may be an aftermarket case. Nice franken I would presume that the re engraving would be to the same original serial. What are the tell tale signs that the case is aftermarket? Your knowledge is much appreciated.
alligoat Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 When I look at my gen 1680, 5.8 mil SN, and compare the lugs, the 3.4 mil has much thicker lugs. Then when I compare the side profiles, the 3.4 mil is still much thicker, the case has a greater depth than my gen, and very straight looking sides- no rounding over of the sides as in a 35 year old watch case.
vlydog Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 Maybe someone I know (hint hint) will post up a good close up of his gorgeous franken
ubiquitous Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 I'd like to see you post this over on the other forum where Jared would be able to at least speak on his own behalf for the watch.
southcoast68 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 Nice watch!! If someone is giving that away, I'd be glad to take it Cheers
