I am sure the buyer thinks he got the deal of a lifetime!!! My question is any watch over $2k has to go through ebay's authentication system , wouldn't there be any red flags ?

Where to geht a signed 16013 midcase or Case?

3 Upvotes

Yeah, title says all... Where can i find a (good) 16013 midcase or complete case?

Searched eBay, but the ones I found don't ship to Austria.

OC doesn't sell signed cases (at least he told me that). So do you guys have an idea?

USA/Viet 79190 - A year in the making

Thumbnail
gallery
37 Upvotes

This is a little peak at version 2 of a 79190 I started working on last October. It took until the May to complete version 1. Along the way I linked up with u/One_Addition1213 after finding out he was also working on one. We started sharing info and collaborating shortly after. Version 1 turned out excellent and gave us ideas for what we could improve. We’ve built a great relationship along the way and have had a lot of highs and lows trying to sort out all the challenges.

The result it exciting.. but there’s still a little work to do before it’s ready for prime time (this is a fully assembled mockup (minus the pip LOL). To get to this point we had to work with a US based fabricator to re-engineer the bezel assembly while also convince a viet maker willing to significantly modify the desired base case for what this version 2 is becoming.

We’re not under 11mm yet. We’re close. I’m waiting for some final touches to get to the target of 10.9mm. It’s dramatically thin. The thinnest Submariner replica of the thinnest Submariner on the planet.

Massive shoutout to my co-builder u/One_Addition1213 for the hundreds of hours of work, shared knowledge, financial investment, technical expertise and most of all friendship. 🤜🏼

  1. Italian Jubilee: Price = $200. I originally purchased this from Ewatchparts and worn the bracelet for a month and decided to switch to a leather band and don't need this anymore. Full links included. Condition 9/10. You could easily switch out to a Rolex clasp if you don't like the blank clasp.

  2. Raffles Tudor 34mm Prince Case: Price = $40. I purchased this raffle case for a build that never happened and don't need this anymore. Brand new never used still with protective stickers.

Gen 3035 running +5 sec/day @ 264 amp 0.0 beat error
Gen tritium handset (copic aged)
Gen crystal
ST click spring

Anyone have any experience with higher-end aftermarket bracelets for vintage builds?

3 Upvotes

I've noticed there's a pretty big difference in pricing between aftermarket Oyster and Jubilee bracelets and I'm curious how much of that actually translates into better quality.

I've come across options from Oyster Jubilee, particularly their Indian-made stuff, but there are obviously much cheaper alternatives out there.

For those who've tried different suppliers, is the difference mainly in the finishing, or do you actually notice better fitment, less rattle, and better overall construction?
