Justasgood Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Thought I wouild post a family pic before the sell off:
Justasgood Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Posted May 6, 2011 Love that salmon dialed DJ! I like it too. It's a Mid sized I got for my wife......she didn't like the color so now she has a Silver dialed Air King. The Middy is going back to my watchmaker.
DemonSlayer Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Very nice, I love the gold DJ on croc, very classy
Justasgood Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks. It is actually a 15505 Gold shell Date model.
cib0rgman Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Probably stupid question, but are all of them Gens?
Justasgood Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Posted May 6, 2011 Probably stupid question, but are all of them Gens? No stupid questions here. The TT Datejust(Back left is 100% Gen. The Mid size Salmon dial is 100% Gen. The Gold Shell date HAs Gen dial, case, crown, tube and crystal with A Gen eta 2824 mov't. The Gold Day-Date is rep with Gen dial, Gen crown The Stainless Date-just with black dial is all Gen except the Movement (Swiss Bulova 11BLACD)
cib0rgman Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Love this one I will keep an eye on your sell. The Stainless Date-just with black dial is all Gen except the Movement (Swiss Bulova 11BLACD)
preacher62 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 @Just...how did that 11BLACD fit into the case and is it a 1601 case or a thicker case? I love that movement. It is easy to service and there are quite a few floating around. I have an 11ALACD in a Bulova Snorkel watch that I purchased on Okinawa in 1968. Runs strong and accurately.

I pulled the movement from a Bulova Oceanographer. The date position is just about dead on. The original Rolex spacer ring fit well. This case is a 6605 from 1957. The only problem is that this movement only uses a tap 8 stem and the Rolex crown is a tap 10. I ordered a few plus a tap 10 die and I am going to try to have them turned down on the threaded end. I too love this movement. Strong runner, and very accurate.

I am interested in other movements that can be used in our reps. Only problem is in finding hands for them. Doesn't this Bulova movement clock at about 17-19Kph. It should be very realistic in that watch. I didn't put mine on the timer. When I cleaned, oiled and reassembled it was keeping time just like before so I didn't fix it.
Ylfig Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Very nice family Kurt. Why the sell off...just replenishing the stock?
Justasgood Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Posted May 8, 2011 Very nice family Kurt. Why the sell off...just replenishing the stock? No, just build 'em to enjoy building 'em. I will probably hold onto the 6605 SS date-just and perhaps the gold shell. I haven't decided yet.
