ubiquitous Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 You'd need to add the entire gear train, balance, mainspring, etc. Building this movement up will be an expensive endeavor... Probably not worth the time or hassle. You'd be better off buying a complete movement or a donor watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 This is sot of interesting though...may be a good sign. I have little doubt that this is a fake item...If they are working on components like this, can complete replica VJ72 be too far behind?

ubiquitous Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Considering the lack of patina on the surfaces of the bridges and plates, as well as the seller's other items, I would agree that it is a reproduction/replication. What's interesting to me is that there are some jewels present while others are not. I wonder what the story is behind this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I would think the whole idea is for some unscrupulous type to take a V72 movement and reassemble it on this frame, put it in an aftermarket case, and build a 6263/5 and sell it on ebay for $5000, or maybe more. This is what happened to the Franken Daytona we were watching last week. No microstella balance, no correctly colored gears, admitted aftermarket case.... even if it costs you $2000 to build a Franken Daytona- Frankentona, and you sell it for $5000, that's a good weeks work in my mind!

alligoat Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 This ebay guy sells alot of Rolex stuff that's very questionable, or should we just say aftermarket. I guess he has a Chinese connection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Those bridges are very nice... But for the price, I don't think it's worth buying since it's going to be hidden behind a caseback for most, if not all of it's life.
