witz Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Can anyone REMIND me (my search skills are failing me) the name of the infamous dealer who customizes Submariners into Frankens - mixing ETA, Rep, and Gen parts? I recall the price being like $500-$600... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 There are a number of sites, but their prices are about 4-5 times higher than what you quoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witz Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Thanks - that wasn't it, I feel like it might of been Japanese? Argh. Brain failing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 If you do find a website that sells $500 ETA franken Rolex reps please share this information with me via pm ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 If You mean : ETA - a couple of REPs - and results in a watch that can accept GEN parts then You might be thinking of EuroTimez (http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showforum=187) Adding GEN parts in the mix would push the price higher..

witz Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Let me clarify: it's a dealer/watchmaker. He modifies reps to be close to gens. I think it might be from Japan. They are expensive. He *might* put in ETA movements. I have seen the site recently as well, and (I thought) this dealer was well known in the fora...

witz Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 OK all, sorry for the brain fart - I was thinking of WM9, or Watchmaker 9....not quite as infamous. Sorry if I ruffled feathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
