Falco Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I can't imagine it's going to be hard to set up the factory machines to do another run It's basically just the case and dial (and maybe the seconds hand and crown), rest is just standard rep rolex sub products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miquel Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Great idea, Falco. I have the watch in question from Silix. The only thing it needs is the bezel from their Milgauss. It has the coin edge as opposed to the modern sub bezel "scalloping". Also, engraved between the lugs is an R serial number and 16610 design. The case also needs lugholes. Other than that, a good starting point! Here's after some playing around.... Edited February 6, 2007 by miquel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klingsor Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 i'm speaking with silix... they have ask to me pics about 6542... in the next days i will take also some measures... (from a gen 6541 case and from a 6542 ...) i think that if they will let restart the production of these "no crownguards vintage rolex" they will do it for all these reference ... so now ...it's very important that people who want some mods ask for ....(detailed with pics.. please...) my proposals: 6538 ... correct the back of case (detail of error 1)... correct the dimension of the crown... correct the engravings... (also inside the caseback...) ...eta 2836 ... detail 1 6536 ...same proposal than 6538 but the right engravings , dial ,crown and bezel insert 5510...same proposal than 6538 but the right engravings , dial ,crown and bezel insert 5508...same proposal than 6538 but the right engravings , dial ,crown and bezel insert 6542 (some detail 2 and more) ...same proposal than 6538...completely new project...engravings... caseback (it's different..)bezel is different ... insert bezel bachelite maden...exist also a black insert ... with a white dial made for PAN AM ...correct hands ... and please into an eta 2836 swiss with the GMT complete module ( i know it cost... ) 6541 same proposal than 6538 but the right engravings , dial (must be corrected.. must seems like carbon fibre...),crown and bezel insert... detail2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I wold ask dials with a good vintage lume, not the strong plastic yellow they have now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I would just like to see all the dimentions correct and the engraving, i dont think it should be vintagised at all, if we have it vintageised by the factory then they will all look the same andf you know that the lume will be bright yellow. Lets make them look old our selfs and then they will all take on their own personality, I have been looking for a 1680 for ages but apart from the MBWs that i cant afford they all have crap bright yellow lume that just looks unrealistic. Leave it white, shape and mesure it right, thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi guys, update for you, I think it's best we for the moment just focus on one watch, the Bond 6538 (ROL187) Silix wants us to send him some good pictures of the watch, but I know you guys must have some better pics available than me (I've posted mine here in this post). Could you post your favourite Bond watch 6538 picture here for Silix please and we'll make a democratic selection ?? For your interest below is my correspondence with Silix in pm's. Falco: Hi Silix, Is there any way you could get more ROL187 James Bond watches? Special order from factory? Thanks! Falco Silix: This watch is out of production for a while. I am checking with the watchmaker now, to see if we could get it redone. How many would u be looking at? Falco: 2 for me, but if ok with you I can put a post in the forum of how many are interested. Several have shown interest. Thanks Falco Silix: Thx for ur reply. Yes, if u could find how many ppl would be interested, that would be great. Thx. Falco: Looks like your ROL187 is very popular and many are interested in a new production thread is "James Bond Sub Offer" in Rolex section if I forgot to mention it Silix: Thx for ur post. Yes, I saw it as well. I am talking with the watchmaker on this one. But since it is close to the chinese new year, it is most likely to have some progress after the long holiday. BTW, could u please send me some good pics on the Bond if u have any? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klingsor Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi guys, update for you, I think it's best we for the moment just focus on one watch, the Bond 6538 (ROL187) should i show you all my past emails with silix starting from october ?eheheh ... ...i don't think that the best way to have a special project done could be asking to one dealer to minimize his businnes...doing only one ref..... considering that making a good case they could produce all the vintage series i told...with a minimal numbers of difference between all of them... so i don't want to have the merit of this post...this is your post... but as you can see also in the past many peoples have done some attempt... try to understand what i mean... we have an opportunity .... time are changed.... now are many more people interested into these vintage reps... i believe the best way is to start from the past case and to propose mods cause the silix provider has the past project... and so ...it's an easy way to reach the goal...a better goal... after that ...photos are easy to find 6538 bond rolex 6536....not so easy are gens to take some measurements......

After pm'ing Silix he's checking with his watchmaker to do another run of the ROL187 It has been out of production a long time and is no longer available. He asked me to see how many are interested in buying one before asking the watchmaker. Post in this thread if you are interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Klingsor, what I meant was that it's best to show that we are really interested in having the ROL187 back in production. But of course, having the 6202, GMT and all the other vintage reps with same case is also very interesting. But let's not confuse Silix with many different projects/watches. Possibly easier to start out with one perfect 6538 rep, hopefully the way we like it with lugholes, ETA etc. and take later do hopefully more reps based on the case, like 6202... People, please post your pics of the GENUINE 6538 Bond if you have any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People, please post your pics of the GENUINE 6538 Bond if you have any i think that Angel and Jay are not confused about... easy way not is the best way any time... i repeat ...business rule this productions... if business is to produce a case and with some minimal difference to have many kind of references.... it's easy to understand what it's easy.... there is no difficult to make all of them... but there is less business to make only one....... i'm in for one of a kind...for me... and many more for my "friends..."
