Clark bezel kit, GS PA 462-66 low dome crystal, ETA 2846 (swiss 2836 removed when watch was new). The HEV was removed and a plug made and pressed into the case, lugs drilled, The HEV was OEM spec...I compared them. Still has original 'too thick' crown and dial with 'too thin' markers at 3-6-9.

automatico Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 NOS F520117 swiss 2836 'noobmariner' from 2006/7, still wrapped in plastic... C Could not take a wrist shot because the clasp is sealed closed. Pics made 11-13-21. 11-16-21 I found a nos 'noobmariner' with the engraved reflector/rehaut and the serial number is M092117. I forgot I had one. 12-18-2021 Looking around on eBay and spotted a used 'noobmariner' M092117 case from Morocco that went for $760.00 USD after 24 bids on October 6, 2021. Looks like some doode got scrooed. But that's Ok...because it's 'sexy'. eBay item number: 40320462511 SEXY ROLEX SUBMARINER 16610 CASE | eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 The watch above is unmodified and came with DG 3804. It has a pretty good dial etc with brass mvt spacer and movement holding screws, no plastic. Blind lug holes make it similar to genuine watches made in the early 2000s. Same case etc as used on some swisseta examples around 2007/2010 or so. I'll dig a swisseta model out and post pics later. 2-3-22 Here is a very good comparison/review of a genuine five digit GMT vs a BP Factory GMT with sharp pictures: BP Factory Rolex 16710 GMT Full Review VS Gen - Replica Watch Info (replica-watch.info) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 MBK '5512'... NOS ETA 2879, MBK dial, ST hands/bez kit/case tube/spg brs, GS crystal, oem crown, lugs drilled, 'Mary' fold-oyster/WSO 580 hoods. It needs the correct type of insert dot. Posted 12-29-21 Folded '7836' type bracelet from Mary with an '8 hole' clasp added. Not a very good job on the center link/spacer above the flip lock lever. Made it out of a narrow bracelet link. Made a tool to crimp 'clamping dents' in the clasp out of pliers for cutting 'Gucci notches' in leather straps. Center connecting links from a spare bracelet, this '7836' came with 'figure 8' links. Had to curve the spring bars a little bit so they would line up with the lug holes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
