username here Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 You can find gen 16520 for less than 7000 euros... $9,200 or so US. My cost is substantially less- 99% gen and interesting to put together. 1
Guest Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Where'd you find a 78390 bracelet for $1200. I ended up polishing the center links of a gmt and am not really satisfied with the result. The end links don't line up nicely with the case. Almost stayed with brushed instead of polished because it went so well with the black dial.

I ended up polishing the clinks of a gmt and am not really satisfied with the result. The end links don't line up nicely with the case. You'll need to change the endlinks to 503D for proper fit.
Guest Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 How does one change the end links. Ive searched and examined the sels i have and can't figure out how they come out.

Guest Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Yup. Ive had the 503s before and sold that bracelet because it felt cheap compared to a sel bracelet my father had

Almost stayed with brushed instead of polished because it went so well with the black dial. That was one of the easiest parts to find. Called a shop that sells rolex. Had the bracelet in 2 days
MIKE32500 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I have 503 endlinks sealed for sale

username here Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Posted February 22, 2014 OK...It's been a week and no proof of the pudding... And it will be at least another 4 weeks. Being assembled
sputim Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 Hope we will se pictures of this awesome build soon
username here Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 Started the build on April 7th last year and today I'm finally wearing this . . .
aajaxx007 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Thinking of taking the plunge myself and found your thread very useful, thank you. As another member mentioned earlier in the thread, I also find the bracelet and clasp to be meh for this reference. Anyone want to offer up an opinion about putting a 16520 on leather? Cheers and congratulations on a great build.
username here Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Posted May 27, 2014 White dial on leather works and looks great
sputim Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Started the build on April 7th last year and today I'm finally wearing this . . . Nice watch but the picture has such a low resolution I hardly can see anything
