frank2001 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 OK SILIX IS READY TO SELL THEM .... JUST ASK TO HIM I'm ready, sent SIlix an email
alant Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 I'm all ready too! Now waiting for which models will be available and the pictures. And I understand all are running on asia movement. By the way, does anyone has any idea is it in sapphire crystal or just hard mineral glass? And the crown and bracelet they are in what grade of stainless steel? Thanks.
FxrAndy Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 To me the crystal looks like acrilic, belive the material will be 316 stainless steel

Thanks. allant vintage submariner or sport models do carry plastic crystals. I wonder if they fit genuine ones...or aftermarket ones..since it is a cheap watch no need to spend money in a gen crystal but aftermarket one.
r11co Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 And I understand all are running on asia movement. By the way, does anyone has any idea is it in sapphire crystal or just hard mineral glass? It'll be plexi-glass/acrylic, as per the original. Are you the sort of person who asks the tour-guide if there are flushing toilets in the pyramids?!
piratedzeus Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 We have seen some new vintage Rolex watches, with asian 17j automatic, stainless steel and mineral crystal, for US$58, and also with swiss eta-2836 automatic, stainless steel, and sapphire, for US$130. The express shipping is US$28 for one or two watches, to most of the countries. There are 5 models available, I have some pics attached here. U could have the bezel insert u want. For any further info, please email silixprime@gmail.com.
AllergyDoc Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Asian 17j? Is this the lowest end of rep movements?
Raijor Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 My two Subs arrived today - a nice starting point but work needs to be done - the bracelet is modern style with divers extension and saftey clasp and the bezel is modern style also with one direction racheting. I can work with these things - and the price is right. Cheers
FxrAndy Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Asian 17j? Is this the lowest end of rep movements? Most asian 17j movement are copys of the myota 8215, a very good movement and 100% reliable, even id your asian mov dies you can replace it for less than a watchmaker would charge you to take the back off a watch, i replaced the noobmariner works for less than

tmg Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 CK, a rivet model would be accurate. Some of the collectors here sell a decent version separately, just ask. -TMG
