whole bunch of vintage Rolex with nice movements

[JamesThailand]

I went to Weekend market in downtown Bangkok last week and I spotted some of these nice replicas on sale. The movements are real cal 72 and real rolex movements.

[JamesThailand]

That's odd... I never thought they'd sell something like that on a market in Thailand... what about the prices?

the seller asks for quite expensive prices for each of these rep, i would suggest everyone to forget about them

[slickdick]

I need one of those gold daytonas

In fact i think i need two!

[StormTooper4]

I'm salivating at those cosmographs those are really nice

[lhooq]

Oh, you tease! Negotiate a good price on a group buy (i.e. 2 of them) and I'll fly over to Bangkok this weekend!

A lot of us here have these level of replicas with gen movements or the Valjoux 72 or Val 23 movement conversions (old daytonas). They can cost upwards of $5000 or more to build. Are those solid gold daytona cases? How much for the daytonas? How much for something like GMT or EXP II? These watches are built by a lot members here and pop up in the for sale section regularly, and usually sell quite fast.

I see that the vendor used the same crappy dial on the 1655 that the Josh and Andrew uses on their new 1655...or is it the other way around...hhhmmm...very interesting....

Love the gold cosmos though!!!

I just noticed that Phongy-looking Milgauss. A minor furore occurred in the sales section of RWI when someone tried to sell a silver-dialed, 1560-powered version for $1800.

[Dizzy]

Yeah i dont know what that was... Too many questions and no answers on that one lol

I looked through about 100 gen movement pics, and none of them had engraving that poor.

that GMT doesn't look good at all. I suppose I could take it off your hands.

[freddy333]

The Cosmos look like what Phong is selling (nice, but alot of mistakes - search TZ or google for gold gen dial pics & see for yourself). The Valjoux's are frankens. If pricing is under a grand, then they may be a good deal for the movements alone.

[mjmj]

Wow! these were selling in the markets!? How much were they going for? I wouldn't mind the GMT or the milgauss.

[MyNameIsPeterAndImOld]

Who's selling those?

[flex]

If the price is around 2-3 grand, I will personally fly to bkk this weekend and organise a group buy or something. When I m there, I can probably post pic of the actual watch live with the Iphone.

Any chance you could share the vendor info to me?

I would stay away from any GMT-powered rep. From my experience, the GMT movement is only a basic 1570 altered by the street vendor by adding a couple of gears. I saw these items in Vietnam (MQ vintage watch shop) and there were problems with datewheel.

ok Thanks, I will steer away from the GMTs. And yes if you happen to fly to bkk, I will put my hand up for one of these items.
