Hey guys is there a possibility that a 904l 16610 will be released or the factory’s, don’t think it would make sense as the demand is so much greater for a 904L 37mm yacht master or 904L 36m datejust ?

With all the negative comments and the high price tags, I think I'll skip them. Very tempted at first look though.

I'd say go for it! I like a lot of those watches- 5512, 6538, 1016, the Paul Newman, 6234 (it has an a7750, but you take your chances), and $338 isn't a bad price. Even the 1675s and 1680s look good.


Might as well omit the Newman’s “everyone” know what they cost now!

These should have true gilt dials and don’t seem to, so dial replacement is going to bump the price up a good bit

I'll just say I've used TS (both credit card and bank transfer via transferwise). Watches always arrived within week from accepting them on QC. They were always very understanding while refusing a watch (accepted 4th). Also, when the watch ws broken they fixed it and sent back so no issues with service received.

I would like to build something myself, but I have no idea where to start. I remember a thread here which was some kind of vintage Rolex guide with were to get parts in all kinds of categories etc.

I can't seem to find it anymore... Anyone an idea?

I've not had a reply from TS in response to my request for price for PWS on the Paul Newman, not exactly confidence inspiring.

I have bought from them recently without issue. The watch had some flaws and they got me more samples til I was happy. Pretty sure they are "wholesale only" now, meaning the deal is done once the watch is shipped. No returns, no warranty. That doesn't bother me as I service my own and do enough modding to fix anything I can't see in QC.

I say they are worth it, Ive had the PN Daytona which i bought from another user.

I mean we get wannabe "modders" on here aging up a sub with 2813 movement and trying to get $300

Id say these pieces are worth it because you just dont see them anywhere else and theyre pretty unique.

especially that GMT 6542

someone from experience knows if TS makes a true triangulated shipment, then with 2 tracking numbers, or sends a "forwars UK" shipment, that is a shipment with only one tracking number that passes through the UK but is always sent by China and not from the UK?

You can try having another TD that does triangle shipping source the watch for you from TS. I've never had a TD unable to source an available watch for me, although these custom made vintages may turn out to be an exception. Worth a try.
