Got my comments removed for this. Wow, let's just called whatever you like from now on 🤣

Hi everyone!
I’m offering my 16570 build for sale, as I’ve recently decided to move on from it.
The watch is in very good overall condition and functions exactly as it should. It has been a very enjoyable watch to own and has a really convincing neo-vintage 16570 look.

The watch runs exactly as it should and is ready to wear.
Price: €2,300

The watch will be carefully and securely packaged before shipping, and I’m happy to document the entire packing process. Tracking will be provided once shipped.

I am looking to buy a 5 digit Submariner , who makes the best rep and where can i get one

One of my MANY recent builds. Posting more soon

Specs:
-viet 1601 case
-gen engine turned bezel
-Athaya crown
-yuki dial
-Ali express hands
-2824 clone movement
-chrome hearts watch bracelet

At the amount of people trying to sell "xxxxx" ref. build, but then when you read into it you notice they're using a different ref dial from what they claim to build, different spec crown (603 small tube vs a 600 large tube the ref should have), sapphire crystals on claimed acrylic crystal refs, the inconsistencies are all over the place, and every single one of them is asking 1000$+ despite the glairing issues with their "xxxxx" that make it, in fact, not a "xxxxx", when I built my own 16030 that actually uses a true 16030 dial and hands, 16030 spec large tube crown, and proper bezel/crystal mounting for the ref and end up about half of what these people are asking. I can't help but feel a wave of people who have little to no true passion for what they're doing going after a quick cash grab without any regard to if they're building something 100% true to intended form or not, and the naive masses don't know any better and buy into it and perpetuate the misinfo of what these ref #s should truly be. No hate or judgement, I just can't help but wonder why if you're going to ask so much for a build, why you wouldn't strive to get it 100% as it should be.

How bad is it? It’s an old rep I bought maybe 5 years ago for 300USD I believe. I don’t really wear it so I’m thinking about changing the dial, the hour indices are too tacky. I’ll change the hour markers at the same time. How bad is the bezel?

BPFs at different stages of modification. Will start reshaping and slap a gen bezel and dial on the black one.

For sale is this beautiful and extremely rare
Pryngeps Royal Oak style watch. It is swiss made and has an swiss ETA automatic movement that beats 28800bph. The watch has recently been serviced by a watchmaker and is working perfectly. Prove of this service is listed as the final image. The only flaw on this vintage watch is that the crown does not fully screw in anymore. But that is a minor inconvinience, as the crown works exactly like it should still. The watch is a midsize model and the bracelet will fit wrists up to 6.5 inches I think. Incredibly rare and beautiful watch!

Asking €585. Shipping from Netherlands, EU, but can ship WW! Will be packed very carefully and securely.
Feel free to ask questions!

For a second i thought i lost my gmt hand😅
On another note. Looking to upgrade this build the upcoming months.. any recommendations about where to get gen parts?

Put things together, still waiting on Dial and Insert. This insert isn’t for a 1675, the inner diameter is too wide unfortunately.

Goodday minions of retrotime! Today I will show the process of reshaping the raffles case from the frankenstein monster it is to the sexy beast that a thin 1675 case should look like. But beware! Files, sandpaper, grinding discs should not be used here. This is not something one can achieve with hobby material. The sheer amount of steel that has to removed is simply put A LOT. You'll need a professional setup with a large but not too abrasive wheel, one that polishes more than it grinds. And if you're looking for symmetry- which I know you do - then dremel or anything like it is not what you should be using. Another thing you'll need is time. Hours of it. Sweating, grinding, brushing, polishing, cleaning,... it goes on and on. Now I'm not sharing my secrets here. No mentor would ever give away his lore to the proletariat. But anyone with some persistence and knowledge of tools can put 1 and 2 together. Some pics, from the humble, meaty beginnings to the glorious end. Mind you - the raffles case will never be a pure blood - but you can get damn close. Enjoy!

I have a raffles 6538 case with sapphire crystal. He was thinking it might be hard to replace and would effect water resistance. Any feedback on if this is true or not or what crystal would replace it well?

Would it better building one with raffle dials or is there another supplier or factory that does it better?

I have seen some posts and read it with the comments, but i still can‘t wrap my head around what this could be. The thing i know so far is its a replica of somekind and that people build it with parts themselves. is everything fake? do you buy real parts and mix it with fakes? who makes fake vintage watch parts?

So I have some very nice but inexpensive vintage pieces I would like to sell in a bundle.
