Bart Cordell Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks friends ! I'm buffing it now.
GenTLe Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 I know what you mean by asking photos to friends... It is a week that I am stressing one of my colleague to bring his piece at work so that I can take some pics... This guy (who is between 41 and 45yo) about 1 year ago discovered that his old-well-kept Rolex, bought from his father when he was delivered, with those 2 lines of red written on the dial is worth A LOT. Until 1y ago he thought it was just "an old nice reliable watch". Now he doesn't use it anymore because he's scared He has a nice handwind Speedy to use anyway...
Bart Cordell Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Posted July 12, 2016 Ready ! Just need better hands from JK. Better pics soon. It's time to go to bed in France 1

Time taker Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Nice dial, where did you get that from? It also looks like the grove in the bracelet link to the sel is missing? How did you get rid of that? 1
Bart Cordell Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 Nice dial, where did you get that from? It also looks like the grove in the bracelet link to the sel is missing? How did you get rid of that? I make dials myself. This old gen bracelet is a present from my father in law. It's stamped O6. I'm not an expert and I don't know something missing. What is this grove ?
Bart Cordell Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Posted July 14, 2016 Sleepy... sleeepy... I'm going to sleep, you will see if it work tomorrow
pradosoy Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 It looks amazing.. Has anyone here got Josh's contact?? I would love to get my hand in one of those Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mendota Explorer Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 I've been reading that the latest production runs have been shipping with the hands glued onto the movement! So if you have any plans to use new hands, a dial, or movement, you have to replace all 3! You can't even remove the hands to work on anything even if you plan to keep it all stock. Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
