Pugwash Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I wonder if the movements from the new (not yet released) Seadwellers would fit in these ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watchbuff Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 No problem. From a stand of how many he sells that seem to to be the same reference. I was just doubting fora moment. I built my Frankenjust for about $400.00 total. Gen case crystal, crown, jubilee band, tudor hands gen dial, and ETA 2824-2 movement. It's the best deal I can get for myself. nest is a top shelf sub if I can find a reputable dealer that sells a 1:1 or damn close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I ordered one from him and it was 100% legit as far as I could tell. Same as other gen cases. Some signs that is WAS used, albeit lightly, not a new production. But I'm also curious about how he always has similar stuff. Note he does use the same pictures over and over...you have to read the description for the condition...mint, excellent, etc. I assume he uses the movements to repair sport models? Not sure why he would have a continuous flow of datejust cases. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I ordered also more then 10 cases from him, all where good, except from the fact that some cases did have tiny dings, and that was not described. But bezels, crystals, and tubes where all geniune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watchbuff Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Seems like the best datejust deal you can get for a franken. If only he had Sub'sssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 My two cases were flawless and I was able to turn them into 1st class frankens. I didn't use the dials, because I was using other dials for the two projects. I don't know what he's doing with the 3035 and 3135 movements but if I had to guess, I'd figure he's putting them in aftermarket solid gold cases for sale in the far east or where ever. You can save $10K on a solid gold watch that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can save $10K on a solid gold watch that way. That is exactly what they are used for. He will even admit it as well. The Asian market has a huge appetite for solid gold. They buy the SS models in other markets where Rolex is not in demand, at a discount I'm sure, then salvage the movements and fit into solid gold cases. The cases he sells are definately 100% authentic. I only wish he could supply some with no lug holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB7 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Check these out: http://www.monster-time.com/rolex_cases.asp What are peoples thoughts on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watchbuff Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thats not a bad deal, but the hungarian connection gives you the dial with it (if you want it) for not much more and his stuff is clean. Mine was like brand new Ill save the site for another project. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well, I just ordered a case/dial and bracelet... I will let you know next week and probably post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 but the hungarian connection He is actually a Canadian, and from Vancouver if memory serves me correct. I've been dealing with him for years. He used to be in Japan when I first started dealing with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB7 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 @carlsbad, did you order from this ebay guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watchbuff Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Lets see everyones Frankenjust project here! The best part about a Frankenjusat with all Gen parts is that by no stretch could it be spotted as a rep. So in that sense is it a rep or a hybrid? I am totally comfortable with removing my datejust for admirers to get a closer look. It's all gen they are holding in there hands, the wieight was even dome right with some lead ballast. As long as the case is not opened, it's as good as gen if no better with an ETA. I am looking to do another Datejust project just for rhe fun of it. It cost's a bit more than a rep with an ETA but well worth it. The hungarian Ebay seller is aces in my book. Not easy to communicate with but his stuff is quality.

ironmarshal Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Seems like the best datejust deal you can get for a franken. If only he had Sub'sssss If he gets Sub cases then there will be a lot of happy people on this board! Somebody should tell him there is pent up demand for the sub cases if he's got them....

southcoast68 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I got a two tone DJ case from roling in hungary earlier this year and it is fantastic! Very clean case with what looks like a replacement crystal. It also came with a real clean genuine dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
