Rolexaddict Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I just finished to build and shipped to its owner a new 1675 I have made, using the cartel 1655 case and aftermarket parts - 1655 case with DG3804 Asian movement - VSO classic 1675 complete bezel assembly - Clark 25-116 crystal - Andrew Shear dial - Gen tube (Akira is waiting for a gen crown, right now the rep crown is matching) As usual lug holes are drilled and gen Rolex springbars are used, Akira will give you himself more details, The dial is exceptional, never seen a so sharp dial, pics are not really good, this is the best one I have seen, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacher62 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I've been around here for awhile, so pardon my ignorance, but what is the "cartel case" and are they all the same from the trusted dealers, or from which did this one come? How's that for a run-on sentence? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bones Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Andrew shear is not a name I've come accross before, any more information on that? Also, lovely build mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Andrew shear is not a name I've come accross before, any more information on that? Andrew Shear is proprietor of ShearTime, and a very reliable source of genuine Rolex parts. I don't think he has anything to do with the "Shear Time"-branded Daytona dials that DW sells. Congrats, F, and great work, RA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ueno Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Oh is the caseback on the 1655 cartel the proper one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Andrew shear is not a name I've come accross before, any more information on that? Also, lovely build mate. He is a dealer on VRF and has a fleebay page. Sorry M. I missed your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Can you elaborate on your bracelet and end-link choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Like it was said earlier Andrew Shear is a well known vintage Rolex dealer. He sells watches via his website sheartime.com and single dials via ebay. The 1655 caseback is wrong and needs to be flattened via machine, which is quite expensive. Endlinks are the standard 1655 endlinks with cartel folded bracelet and I also have a rivet bracelet, I traded from a member. This thread pretty much gives you the info 1675 Akira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
