kingkitesurf Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Just found out that there do exist replicas of the #39 superdome. Clarks sells them on the bay. I ordered other parts from him before and he ships fast and stuff is pretty good. Don't know about this rep tropic. I have found a gen one myself through AT but this is affordable and looks pretty good... What do you guys think http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Crystal-Ref-25-3...1QQcmdZViewItem I suspect you can never be sure anymore if they are gen or fake nowadays... since these reps have appeared... Good news for MBW 1665 owners though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 That looks pretty good I may have to buy one of those for my DRSD Thanks for the link. Where can you buy the gunuine flat tropics? I still have not made my mind up if I should go flat or domed, but as I can't find flat tropics I may jump in for this domed version instead.

Mickey Padge Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 What dial type do you have? DRSD = Superdome Great White = Flat Ah, I have the DRSD so I need the domed crystal? Thanks for the info ubiquitous Do you think the ebay crystal is worth it? Or are you aware of another place to buy a real or rep crystal that is good quality?

ubiquitous Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 For what it's worth, it possible to see either type on the DRSD. They originally came equipped with the SD39, but it's not uncommon to see a Flat as an RSC replacement. I think the clone looks quite good. But, I would talk to Nanuq, as I believe he may know of a better one. Bob knows his Superdomes... Both Rolex and Miss Understood's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks again ubiquitous I have PM'ed Nanuq and asked for his advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 It looks a lot like the one that I got from AT, which also seems to have a "flat spot" in the same area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks for the info I read your post before, great stuff I noticed the slight defect on the ebay dome too. Do you know any other places to buy them? Rep would be best as the outlay on a genuine superdome would be to much lol. Maybe a genuine #39 flat crystal though, but I can't find any.

Jimster Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yup, It was Wristwatch and if I remember right he was asking $175. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Try watchgarage on Ebay I had a look and found "The Watch Garage" and they are selling some nice rolex watches, but no parts. kingkitesurf, I love your avatar and sig Whats on the nato band? Is it a 1665? I wear my 1665 on my nato band and its so comfortable and looks great! I have yet to take it off in three days! It is getting ALL my wrist time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 If you are looking for genuine, I can help you out (though it is a pricey endeavor). If you are looking for a low cost aftermarket, try fwjs (helfands). They have a $12 alternative that is very close to genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be fantastic if you could get a genuine flat tropic for me I understand they are not so expensive as the superdome version and I prefer the look anyway I have seen the heflands version, but I did not like the style of crystal. They are great value though. Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am thinking of getting a white letter dial to replace my DRSD one. Anyone out there wanting to do the opposite and change from a white letter dial to the DRSD? My DRSD dial has been modded by repaustria too! The hour markers have been expertly aged PM me or reply if you are interested in such a swap. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
