Oh that’s sucks. And what if I just Test it and don’t Tell them that it is a rep? Maybe they won’t notice ????
if you bring it to a watchsmith and he wont notice its a replica then you need to change watchsmith ASAP!
Lol. True.
For gen xtal, which one would you use?
C12 (the one for gen 116610 but I heard it can have the blue hue look?) or C11?
So guys I just did some math about the costs I would have to expect to get a crystal, a gen datewheel installed and to get the watch waterproofed to 100m and tested:
So all in all it would cost me around 600 usd. What do u guys think? Is it a fair price for what u get? Worth it?
- crystal (incl. shipping) 200 usd
- gen dw (incl. shipping) 200 usd (price is from ebay...any way to find cheaper ones?)
- installation of crystal 50 usd
- installation of datewheel 68 usd
- waterproofed to 100m 56 usd
I think a gen crystal will be considerably more if it’s new. The dw should be less. Also I’m looking for someone to even do that dw overlay mod in the EU. The gen dw wont fit so it needs to be thinned and fitted as an overlay.
I’m thinking my own project will be more than that. For me it will be worth it.
Apparently not many people are doing the gen dwo mod for a 28xx dw. If anybody knows who can do it please let me know. I’ve reached out to a few modders but have not got a positive reply yet or haven’t heard back yet.
