Hi guys, I just confirmed my latest order. Now I need your input to what moods needs to be done so I can walk around with confidence with this historic time piece tribute.

joe,


this is a nice watch you got...is it a 21J ?

That case is wrong. I would suggest not putting too much $$$ in the mods on this.
Maybe just a few things like... pop the pearl out, maybe fade the insert a bit and drill out lug holes for gen like spring bars.
Soften and beat up the bracelet a bit too!


After you get tired of it invest in a cartel case set or the complete watch!


Hope you enjoy it!

Hey Joe,


That is not the same watch my friend, the one you have and the one on the link are two different watches.

notice the case, how the bezel extends over the edge of the case a bit and the pearl. Also the Crown Guards...


I might be wrong here but you should double check with your dealer.

I'd be curious to see what is really inside it.

Well thats no good news, the dealer (a trusted dealer here) received the link from perfect-clones and was confident he could source it. He actually charged more than PC too...

Ohh hell no.

I hate that I brought it up but I think you deserve to know.

This just sounds real foul Joe.


I would let a mod know. Asap.

Well the swiss eta is confirmed so I guess It's OK. Anyone that can pin point the manufacturer?

Cheers

Well that's good. Worth the money spent for swiss eta.


I just haven't seen swiss movement s put in cases like this.

Congrats for the 1000th post mate =)

Any chance it might be the angle of the photo?

Lol, thanks!


I don't think its the angle. You can see that the bezel does not over lap the case at all.

I don't recognise that case, it doesn't look like the Cartel offering to me and I've not seen many others which take an ETA... I presume it's from China?

Can anyone identify this case? I'm thinking it's a Josh case but I am by no means a rolex rep expert. Need your input guys.

CG's, crown and pearl tell me it's not a cartel case. Doesn't mean it's bad though. If it takes a gen spec crystal and dial you're golden.
