[Dan71]

Hi !

here my little project  ..

watch rlx 1680 from josh (perfect clones) asian 2836 , than my watchsmith switched with Eta 2846 low beat

i sent it to RolexAddict for the base mod (CG, dial lume, fade insert, springbar, clark plexi, yuki insert), but than i shipped to RA for mod crown & tube with athaya.

in the pics we have also :

- paper, bill ecc by Rolojack 

- only the garantie & calendar is my experiment..

-gen service box from ebay

-gen leather wallet from ebay

 

maybe in the future i will improve the watch, but for the moment i will stop here ..

 

what do you think ?

 

i forgot ..this was the previous owner..

see on the wrist..

Gen Dial ? But The Dial was reduce in diameter ?
Because for my 1680 i asked to RA don't touch the Dial but open the Dial Seat and the dial Windows , for avoid that the minute indices are cover ..
see the write T<25 that have more space below..

No unfortunately because this is a mbk I do not have a gen dial. He machined a mbk ones for me to accommodate a gen dial. But not this one.

MBK dial is good, very accurate IMHO, my cartel dial instead was a fantasy dial ..

because RA have shipper yesterday from France, but the Poste Italiane are a risk..not for the custom but because there are many robbers..

A little advice of me. When using anything regarding Italy with shipping, use UPS. A little more costly but it's worth it and your shit will deliver. Even faster than regular mail. 

In comparison with losing $1700, the 30€ extra for shipping don't hurt, do they?  

[Dan71]

Yes , right , but now is too late..the next shipping i use UPS ;-)

[RickFlorida]

Oh no dude.   I hope you get your watch.   I'm gonna send RoloJack my watch in a few weeks to France.   I wonder what service is safest for to and from U.S. and France?

[Mike on a bike]

Oh crap Italian post , hope you get it ...............

[Dan71]

Arrived these evening ..

I don't know the France postal system ..

In Italy the problem is that the courrier company hire foreign worker with lower skill ..also there are warehouse robber , but in my personal experience I have received always all..

Other problem is the strict custom for law about counterfeiting ..

the watch is amazing only he have get a hit during the transport because the dial moved/ rotate on the left and the hand are free , the next days I check with my watchsmit, maybe the dial and dwo break off from movement ..

[Dan71]

Now I tell you a little story about yesterday..

A scary evening .
The traking said that the parcel was on delivery so I wait it at home.
Than in the late afternoon the traking said delivered , i check on my mail box but I haven't received anithing!
So I call Posteitaliane and they said to send a write claim and than they will reply to me by 45 days :-(

I'm very depressed I figured that the courrier have stolen the watch and all the part end work modding was lost..or that he have delivered to another address in my city.

Than later I drag me and my depression out of my house and I check the mail box and i found the parcel ! The driver maybe was on delay and don't wait my sign for acceptance ..

Bad experience guys ..

[QueTip]

Yeah, that has happened to me a lot too. I've had parcels containing builds of a few thousand bucks and also gens that needed my signature and were insured sit in front of my door or the garden and the post man faking my signature. 

[Dan71]

In Italy there is a proverb that say: 'All world is village'

I forgot to mention ( if isn't contrary to rwg rule ) that the problem on the dial/ movement that collapsed throughout the journey France - Italy I suppose for a bump , was fix today by my Italy friend nick : "Harleysta91" "Orologiaio" on RWI "la dolce vita" section.

see him during operation
