So it's a BROKEN case for 2,100€. That doesn't appear to be much of a bargain.

Asked around at a place that WAS a Rolex dealer. Funny thing about old watch dealers...they have parts.

Score!

[CptTripps]

Got all my stuff together. Just waiting on the movement to show up!

...I've got to give that bezel a once-over too!

2100 euros is not 3250 USD but 2700 UDS

the guy said 2.5k euros, bud.

Yeah. Not a bargain at all.

I've got to start looking at gen cases to see if I need to mod mine (Phong) at all before I put everything together.

Anyone have before/after pics on what they did to Phong's to make it more like Gen?

[LeSentier]

What are your thoughts about Phongs case? What would you mod?

[CptTripps]

It's nice enough, and fits the movement, but I'm told there are differences from a genuine case. I'm going to do a bit more research and take pics to determine for myself.
