Ephry73 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Cool. I purchased an Ofrei replacement T-19 for the 1665 case and because of the case that I could not use the gasket setup, but the GS, retainer ring and she's tighter than a mule(don't ask ) I wonder(Ronin) since you have been great at providing my inquiring brain with loads of great information, where I can get the correct retainer ring, friction ring and bezel setup, or how can I dup it? So far I'm pretty happy with the setup I got from Trevor, and though I had to modify a few things, it's not bad for the money at all. Thanks E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 The take-away here is that each replica can be waterproof or it can leak and fail. You should always check. Your $500 super wonder modded watch could have a missing gasket, thru a freak forgetful accident. You can't know until you check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 in practice it is taught by Rolex to use the green loctite on the tubes, i personally use the blue as does many watchmakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I use GS hypo cement on my tubes. Seals it and keeps it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 No need for epoxy or glue... After a cool down in the ice box... No condensation under the crystal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanshogun Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 i think the problem with these mbw/k cases and copies thereof are the hev valve that needs to be marine epoxied shut. at least this is the problem on my 1665. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 the mbk one is engrave, so it has no opening to the outside world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 No need for epoxy in the valve either... Just well lubricated seals, and proper tension on the spring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Speaking of water proof, what is the 6263's WR rating? E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Speaking of water proof, what is the 6263's WR rating? Depends on which crown is fitted & the condition of the crystal & seals, but I believe Rolex sports watches, unless otherwise specified, are spec'd to 100m.
