Are the younger generations really minimalistic? Even the up-and-coming Asian youth?

[rwacc]

Wow, did you buy the dial and hands together? Or did you have to match the hands? In which case they match really well....

[rwacc]

Given its similarity to a DJ/OP case, it works better than a TT sea-dweller haha. But taste-wise to me it's completely unappealing. Would rather get a...

Though this rolex release is a slap in the face of many gen owners, those with:
1. explorer 2 42mm old version
2. white gold BLRO - the only...

Quite happy with the explorer, more true to form now. Everything else is either meh or feels low-effort (daytona, especially explorer wth???). Happier...

[rwacc]

Wow, this is a wonderful follow-up to your "substantial shoal of subs" post, and a wonderful way to catalogue the daytonas available and the...

Only the most low-information polar owners would take up that deal now. Feels a bit scummy by bob's watches but hey they're a business.

As...

The rivet bracelet looks like a good rep rivet, of which there are two I know of: ruby and the ones tripdog (I think) uses. The latter is more expensive....

[rwacc]

You... wrote this as a reply to a literal mod (who hardly "policed" you). Hahahaha
More seriously, the mods here do a ton of work as upkeep,...

I think that has more to do with the distortion of the cyclops, given the angle at which the photo was taken. Haven't heard of datewheel centering issues...

Your repertoire of services look great, congrats! Trying to become an amateur watch modder/repairer myself.

The explorer 1 will never go cyclops! 3-6-9 is its identity.

The milgauss looks good, but the whole line feels pointless now, since all movements...

Purchasing reps for personal is usually not an issue for most countries, but selling them can be. Some TDs offer re-shipping if it gets seized by customs,...

The exclamation point, like the underline at 6, does not come by default on 5513 dials. It is a marker printed later on the dial that relates to the type...

Hi Patrick,

Welcome to this forum, I'm new as well, but I've been interested in (replica) watches for 6 years or so now.

I haven't...

I too am facing this issue. Watercolor is actually a great idea, since reluming:

Given the likely change in midcase, I don't think parts will be interchangeable. But it would be good if they were, otherwise maybe aftermarket will come...

The tudor brand colors are black/red, so the image on the site isn't hinting at a coke GMT necessarily. But a coke GMT in 39mm without fauxtina would...

I really don't see the need to switch over from a steel insert, that's been a USP since it was launced, and distinguishes it from the generic shiny ceramic...

[rwacc]

Cyclops distortion is poor, it seems. Plus they haven't shown the side of the SEL for plating.

A bit of a shame, I want a good ETA-based...
