He's not very good at this shit is he? Tho I suppose Sotheby's just forgot to mention such an important value adding item that provides backstory and adds provenience in their description huh? How forgetful of them . . .




I'm not, I can't find him the Bar Assn members list for his country either.


Oh and Eirik, Mint is mint, telling me that the man from Sotheby's "says mint(A+) they obviously mean for this particular watch ref. compared to the other 179. " is laughable as any collector will tell you. What a fucking crazy thing to say, here is their definition of Mint: Mint condition is an expression used to denote the quality of a pre-owned goods as displaying no imperfections and being in pristine condition relative to its original production state. The goods are in the condition they were in when they left the factory and preferably should not have been handled without gloves to prevent skin oils and acids marring the finish. There is no way they would describe a watch that been on active service as mint. Try to understand what you are bullshitting about before doing so.

Oh and BTW, I have asked around, no one in the Rolex collectors upper circles seems to know of you. Oh yes, you make a mistake if you think that because this is a rep forum no one here knows people in high places or is in fact are people in high places themselves; there are people here who can (and do) drop 50k on a piece without a second thought. There are people here who spend that filling up their yacht for a Sunday jaunt (not joking, srsly). You underestimate who you're dealing with and that was a mistake. Now, clear off.

Amen!!!! 100 True!!!

I think your only option from a TD is a cartel / jkf 5513.

OR you can have one of our modders make you one such as yodog or tripdog.

Here's a link to some 5513's from tripdog

What movement do you have in it?

Sorry mate, just now seeing this. I’ve got a tissot powermatic 80 in it for the 2824 stem height with low beat. Can’t beat that 80 hr power reserve either!

Lovely watch indeed, could you share some specs please?

If the movement is 28xx based I'd say ebay seller richveiw, has a nice set. You'll have to message him though.

cheers

Thanks mate! I wish I had seen your post sooner regarding hands.

Specs list:

Gen 80s WG dial
Gen mid font late 80s insert
Gen 1987 93150 bracelet (L clasp date)
Gen bezel ring
Gen crown
Gen crystal
Ruby’s VN case
Tissot Powermatic 80 mvmt
Currently some Yuki hands, just ordered some MQ hands that come next week

I haven’t been able to bring myself to shape up the CGs any as it does have a very minty late 80s look right now but we’ll see as time goes on

That is a beautiful piece you have a real stunner I'd say wear as is don't touch up the case but the hands really need replaced send us update after the mq hands arrive!
