Falco Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Everybody's in or out whenever anyone wants, this is not a group buy, This post is all about all us members getting together and asking the dealer Silix to start the production again of his popular vintage Rolexes Silix has agreed to start the production again, and we are all waiting for him to present the watch(es) including prices and specs. We all have to order through Silix when the watch is available later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brook0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Add my name to the list. I wonder just how many buyers make the build worthwhile. Looks like the interest is there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Tracy Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Just wanted everyone to note that too may projects all at once will result in a very long wait or worse case, zero going to completion. We already have the Casino Royalle, the three other watches in cue,... as well as a perfect modern sub,... Now this ? Hmmm we will see how it turns out though from the communications I have been having with Jay lately,.. he's getting pretty backed up.

FxrAndy Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi RT, just wish he would release his JBPO, i am just wondering if that may be being slowed down by politics and some of the larger dealers, if Jays has the correct logo, then it would make all the PO fans jump!

Hey there FX,.. The JB is only awaiting to have the caseback refitted,.. Regarding the submissions however, I think we need to come to him with one voice, and that voice does not need to be mine,... so if Falco, or anyone wants to take over,.. I will step aside, as I am still very busy until mid summer,.. This way, Jay's time, which is so limited these days, will not be chipped away from every direction... Come to the RT forum and post this,.. or take the forum over,.. but let's be organized and use our power of numbers... otherwise we come off as merely pests...

r11co Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 The watch in question on this thread was an old, discontinued model and not a new one. The point of the exercise was to get production restarted so it shouldn't have been as onerous a task as getting a new watch made. If the tooling for the discontinued watch is gone then that is a separate issue though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that it would serve us all and save him time, if we speak into one of his ears,.. verses two, which comes across garbled...

perry563 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I am new to this forum but have been an avid collector from various TRUSTY dealers. I would love to also own this watch.

freddy333 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Just wondering if the new (or relaunched) version will have the proper lug holes in the case (sorry if this has been addressed, but there are 12 pages in this thread)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klingsor Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 these are the first pics i have about the watches i know there are some mistakes ..... i have answered to silix boys some opinion about the ref.6202 (vintage turn-o-graph) deeply wrong in the dial... now i have no time to look well the others... so please leave here your suggest i hope to send more pics in the next ours/days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thanks for posting up the pix Klingsor! I'm stating the obvious here; the bezel is still not there, but is this the final form? -I seem to recall Silix offered a model with the correct coin edge bezel in the past and can plug that right in for a more accurate bezel. The big question remains does it have lug holes drilled through the case and will it accept a gen crystal??? I won't get into the dials It's great to see this coming together! these are the first pics i have about the watches i know there are some mistakes ..... i have answered to silix boys some opinion about the ref.6202 (vintage turn-o-graph) deeply wrong in the dial... now i have no time to look well the others... so please leave here your suggest i hope to send more pics in the next ours/days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
