Mate, Rolex will not sell you a crown!

A gen crown and case tube is going to be more than the watch is worth just for the parts alone. If you can find one.

A gen bezel insert will not fit either. But another watch, either to replace this or to use as parts to repair it if you must. You will get a cheap sub from one of the dealers for less than the price of the gen Rolex crown.

BTW, did you really take a rep PO into an AD and expect them to sell you parts? :facepalm:

Ya, cus i take the initiative to search some website where one guy(not me) ask where can buy a seamaster professional or wat bezel( can't remember what the model) and the other person say u can try that shop cus that shop may sell the bezel... So i go to the shop where he recommend that guy... After i ask them they ask me for the watch.. i didn't expect that they open the case back too..

Ps. In the first place i didn't tell him that my watch is a rep...lol

Thats why... He didn't even ask me and he straight away ask his employee/colleague (not too sure that is he the boss???) for the case back opener and then the other guy pass to him and he immediately open.. I was staggered man then i was like :picard: cus i didn't expect he open... Then he is like :asshat: ... Then he immediately reject???( i not too sure too but i don't think he want to do my business) And he say he don't have and say not point repair cus its a rep and its very raft.. But by right i think he have sell cus they do repair on swiss watch and i think they do stock in swiss watch parts...

ahboy.. I don't think you are even listening to us.

IF you buy a gen crown and tube, and get it installed on this watch and solve the bezel issue. It will cost you more than just buying a brand new watch that will be better than this one.

Do we think it's worth it? No. And we've been telling you this since the beginning.

Also taking your replica (and a bad one at that) into an AD to ask them to fix it is just :picard2: These people are not stupid you know.

So why don't you take the advice we are giving you, we (meaning I) only have so much patience.

Last time, forget about any mod to ur low quality rep.
Get a new 21J or clone movement rep from one of the trusted dealer, anyone TD. End of story, u get a nice rep.

And I dont see how age can be much of a privacy issue... there was a thread with all of us chipping in on our age..and frankly, I just want to know how young you are, to bring a rep into an AD and ask for parts for repair...

Me??? In my 20+..lol btw i saw one user say about silix that they sent them a scratch watch... And me myself feel silix abit unsafe cus theres was once where their website hack by somebody...

Btw does your country sell any high quality rep? I don't think so right? Cus singapore is quite strict towards rep? I mean is there any place which sells? Cus last time i search before countries that sells replica watch and some of them say singapore the sungei road or something like that right?

Ps. Just curious, Cus singapore can a bit trustworthy.. Cus i scared of china which not so trustworthy...

Buy a new rep of every watch you have problem, buy from the TD's the cheapes versions they have, and you will spend less than the cost of the "mod" parts you are asking and you will have plenty of watches for use, and those "maybe" can be modded later if you really want to.

You are making this harder than it should be.
Buy from whatever dealer you like - it does not matter if they are in China. The trusted dealers here will not steal your money.
Have delivered to the UK - Customs is easier there than in Singapore.
