kasigi Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I like that - What exact model is that one? K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimside11 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Got this one from silix. The numbers on the bezel are a bit more rounded, like on the goldfinger watch. Although the pearl triangle is red. Angel and Jay might be able to source something like it. Who knows if it will fit. Might be worth a shot.

ridnwind Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thats HOT! Goldfinger and the 6538...the one and only Bond watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Nice, been looking at the MBW version for a bit. MBW = me broke wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 The problem that occurs with this Silix Version is that the crown tube will be stripped in a sec and the crystal is cheap plastic. So order the Silix Bond Version and the Silix Milgauss Version. Take the Crystal, Case, Tube and Crown from the Milgauss and the dial from the Bond and you're done.

kasigi Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I find it impossible to get a page of images out of the Silix web site. It takes forever to load the initial page and then maybe one or two images will appear and the rest are broken. K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel & Jay should do something about it, as I'm sure this deter customers from buying from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hok Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 [censored], this one is a killer. and normally i wouldn't touch a rolex with a pole! @ob 1 full ack, silix' page is a pain to browse. wonder why our rep dealers don't invest in a decent layout.

I have been thinking about doing that for the last 4 months. Those two were the first reps I bought when I joined the old RWG. I was going to do it, but sold the Milgauss to a co-worker. Great looking watch! Edited May 21, 2006 by miquel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitztozeiss Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 After viewing this thread, I decided to try out my new NATO strap (from Veni) on my WM1680. I had to laugh, because it was the first time I noticed the Polex markings on the watch case. Why not the extra line to finish the "R"? Anyway, I really like the NATO strap. I'm going to pickup one of those bond and military subs to kick around. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitztozeiss Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hmm. Maybe I'm not looking in the right sites, but I can't find a rep bond case with through-holes in the lugs. Anyone, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Nope they don't exist, Silix offer the ones above but the lugs will have to be drilled through, oh and the marking on this one is even better: 16610 lol Can someone tell me what crystal is supposed to be on these?

halley Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 On bond sub isn't that T16? The milgauss is on "rolex/other" on the silixwatch web site, it has already drilled lug holes... http://www.silixwatch.com/product.asp?id=627 but the case looks thicker and the crown is wrong: triplock best is to use the bezel from the milgauss, the case and dial from the bond sub and drill the lug holes but it's a tough task! I did not managed to drill trought the silix bond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) @leitztozeiss Just mix ROL 079 with ROL 187. OK, it's the thicker case and the triplock. But it's waterproof, the tube doesn't strip after two days and the crystal is quite nice for a bond sub (see pics above). It's work for just a quarter of an hour.

ob_1 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) Steely: Only problem is silixwatch does not offer the ROL187 anymore. @leitztozeiss Just mix ROL 079 with ROL 187.
