naturopath Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I have a newly built DJ build from Matt with a Swiss movement on the way, and need to have the movement decorated properly. Who do I need to speak to about such a thing? :-) Thanks. This forum is wonderful! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 None. It is one of the things the Rep factories overdo and often this creates problems to the movement itself or even ruins reps (thick reps because of fake plates... Just as stupid as it is...), let alone when you need to service it... So why o why do you need to do something like that on a closed back watch?

Mike on a bike Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 No idea on who could perlage that for you and as GenTle stated why bother. If you want movement to match go hunt down a gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decorated properly how? First of all, Rolex movements aren't really decorated to begin with. They are finished but not decorated. Notice, they never have open casebacks. They produce, high quality, robust, machine made movements with the intention of longevity over beauty. Second, you're watch will have a Swiss ETA movement, not a Swiss Rolex movement so they will look nothing alike. No amount of decoration could do that. You may be able to find a replacement rotor that looks somewhat similar to a Rolex but that's about it. Like this: However, it's not really necessary since like I said above, the watch has a closed caseback so it's impossible to tell unless you remove that. Now, if you just want to have it generally decorated for the look, it would probably be expensive and add no value to the watch, but I'm sure it could be done. Who would do that, I couldn't tell you.

jmb Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Change it with the "best quality" Asian clone as they come with engine-turned bridges. It would be possible to re-work yours but the price would be prohibitive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturopath Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 No, I think I will be content with the Swiss movement and gorgeous watch.. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
