    Who currently makes the best 6 digit 114060 LN no date sub?

    WTF ... your last 3 posts have been pretty worthless, noob.

    TwoTone 5-digit Submariner build - 16613 or 16803 ??

    I agree with these points as the SH would permit the install of gen hands and DW. Combining those with the proper lug profiles / chamfers would take it to the next level. Of course, I say that knowing budget is always a consideration. There is nothing wrong with enjoying it as-is for now and...

    TwoTone 5-digit Submariner build - 16613 or 16803 ??

    Yep, completely missed that! I’ll just blame it on my morning coffee being fully soaked in before posting :crazy:

    My first rep :)

    Setting the time to 6pm before changing the date position is your safest move.

    TwoTone 5-digit Submariner build - 16613 or 16803 ??

    Gorgeous build, but the rehaut height defines it as a 16613 regardless of any other aspects. What bracelet are you going with?

    Very upset with Noob Daytona 904s bracelet

    Heating (expands material) and / or cooling (shrinks material) the entire bracelet will have no effect on loosening the screws because both of the parts will be at the same temperature - they will both expand or shrink together. I ran into this on both my 316 and 904 bracelets, and trust me, my...

    16610 Gen Date Wheel - Will it fit JF 16610 3135 Movement?

    With all due respect to everyone in this thread, the issues with SH3135 can present themselves on a case by case basis. We all know that QC barely exists in most factories as well as dirt & residual materials are almost always present. My advice for longevity is to have any new movement fully...

    16610 Gen Date Wheel - Will it fit JF 16610 3135 Movement?

    After just a standard service on my SH3135, a gen date wheel fit without issue (or any mods) and has been working flawlessly for over a year. I also keep it in a winder and it has been running for almost that entire time.

    Sub parts arrived!!

    Oh, that’s a tough call. Price is somewhat reasonable at $150, but would your OCD kick in every time you check the time? Mine would ...

    GEN Tube on JF 16610 - Questions

    If Domi is hesitant about going deeper, I’d follow his advice. In my opinion, stick with the rep tube if it fits the best. Machining the lip is an option, but why go thru the effort and only end up with a modified gen tube that just might not pass a pressure test. In the end, you’re not going to...
