The cost of the watch is not inclued of course,
The reshaping job is not limited to the CG shaving : Now most of dealers offer these Subs and SD series which have a wrong cut on the CG side and need a deep case reshaping. With these bad case profiles Subs ans SD look like CG are to short. These are not, its just the bad case profile design who gives this illusion. The case is reshaped using gen profile templates.
Rep 7mm triplock crowns are to big most of the time, so they are cut at the same specs than gens : 3.75mm x 7mm. The case tube hole is chanfrened, the tube recessed to match with the modded crown.
On request :
Inclued in the price,
To figure the previous sixties 5512 and 5513 Submariners, the 7mm triplock and his tube could be machined to be converted into the previous 7mm twinlock. The 3 dots on the crown face will be removed, the crown face will show only the coronet like the gen old twinlock crowns
These prices mean using all stock parts, actually vintage reps have a good background potential to be re-designed without to add expensive gen parts.
But in case you want, I can fit and install optional gen parts like tube/crown, insert, gen cristal, dial etc.
You need to source yourself these genuine parts and send them with your watch
How we process :
You send me your watch and additional gen parts (in case)
Payment instructions/process will be explained by pms or mails
You will have updates with photos during the building till the shipping
