Ran into a clasp issue guys -_-

One washer is missing so now the clamp for the clasp won’t stay on so now I need to purchase a kit from StarTime to fix her up. Until then, I can’t wear it :( lol

Too bad somebody can’t make a decent 16613 rep. Really there’s no real good option but to build one, and its crazy expensive. (At least Louie’s 116613 is available as a newer option.)
The 16613 in the center of the 2 BP’s was in excess of 3k.

Hello!

If someone has a gen bluesy or a genstein bluesy and wants to trade (I have a nice 116613LN superfranken for sale right now), hit me up. I also have some cash ready.

yllekp Sir, can I hear little detail about the luxuni-Hamburg? Are they selling fake parts as gen?

No idea what they are selling, the first set of hands they sent me were completely the wrong size for a 3135. The next set were the right size but the second hand needed work as far as I remember. The hour and minute hand are probably Rolex but the second hand is questionable. It could be that they are quite aged/waterdamaged, but my watchmaker was not overly happy with it.

Date Wheel Questions for the experts --

Let's say you had a blurple tritium dial from 88' / '89.

Would the correct date wheel color be champagne? Would the correct date wheel font be open 6 and 9?

From what I remember about early(ish)16610s I believe the genuine white open 6 and 9 date wheels for cal 3135 are rare as hen's teeth. I assume the same is the case for champagne open 6 and 9 date wheel for cal 3135? ... If one can't find a gen open 6 and 9 for the cal 3135, is it possible to use a raffles/riyi on a SH/Yuki 3135 movement?

Thanks in advance for any / all info

Previous poster was asking if the DW had the open 6 and 9 front. Just saying it looks like it does not with the pic of the closed 9 on the 16613 that I posted.

Mornin!

Have you read the OP of this thread at all? For 'vintage' Rolex it all comes down to which production year / serial as there will be differences throughout the serials. For example, early 16613 from 88, 89 had an open 6 and open 9 date wheel as well as a blurple dial. They are not all the same for one reference.

VR or VS3135 fit on bp 16613 case ?

Why use a BP base though? Many other better alternatives..

What's the base movement? 2824 or 2836?
