Nes and want to build my own rolex

[Karbon74]

Why are some people on this forum so unhelpful and sarcastic its really poor actually as it helps no one.

Buddy, it’s just harmless fun*

You will see the same members with a fast quip in your face when there is a vague question. It’s just harmless banter, a rite of induction if you want.

The same members will go out of their way to assist when asked a direct question in their area of expertise.

*except old NYC geezers who retired in SoCal. Those ones are nasty buggers

Good luck! Don't forget good quality tools, spares and a lot of patience

[sisou]

@Feefo @Karbon74

if you buy a case from Raffles, you have the crown o-ring and the caseback gasket. The crystal is already installed.
It's as straightforward as possible

think of it as a very small IKEA build

And rebuild the keyless 5 times…

And having your finger press the balance wheel and fuxx it up…

And lose a screw somewhere…

And bend the seconds hand

And scratch the dial

This triggered my PTSD...

 

[sisou]

You'll also need pins and screws to fix the movement to the holder.

so finally these are not useful ? I don't need to buy them separately ?

Raffles will provide in the set
You might need to buy a box as it can happen that the tabs are too long

OP - In order to build a rep Rolex watch, you need to sign up on the Reddit rep watch forum and learn how to become an expert using the Reddit alignment tool, once you are an expert using the Reddit alignment deal tool you will be well on your way building a rep Rolex watch that is superior in quality compared to a genuine Rolex and it will be much better than 1 to 1 for a rep watch versus a genuine watch.

what do you mean by buying a box and the tabs can be too long ? I don't get it

Don’t bother. It’s just to bothersome to explain.

Just buy the Raffles case. If you run into the issue, it will make sense, and then post here, we will reply.

I am not trying to push you back.
Just that more information at this stage will just confuse you.

Start. And ask questions with pics whenever you are stuck. Someone will help, we always do. Because someone helped us before
