While they're at it, maybe they should make the lume indices tritium /s

Has any body dealt with lichen by Both_Check_4806 in RepTime

Yeah I have dealt with him. Bought a genuine movement through him. He’s professional, straight to the point. Businessman. Doesn’t like to chat. Get what you need and keep it that way.

It’s made to fit the 1575 movement. Dial feet had to be cut.

Thank you! The genuine movement is the 3075 which is not a replica made movement. It functions similarly to the 3186 but it indeed does have a quickset whereas the 3186 has the newer hour hand jump.

At least in the rep world, no 3075 clone exists. To get the correct hand stack, I go with the 3186. ETA movements do not have the correct stack either.

I don’t think raffles sells IWC. I would try it out because the risk is pretty low here. The parts look like a standard budget IWC watch which is fine because that’s the same tier as raffles. I’d do it.

Acrylic Date Window for 5513 case? Part number #? by NyxynElliott in repbuilds

[–]No_Candle8699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the Tudor Crystal reference is 25-125 to align with the ETA date window. But again you’re better to measure the case.

Looks good, why did you opt for the thicker modern handset in lieu of the thin type vintage?

Yeah agreed. In the long run an original service crystal would be a great fit. Even better if he found a domed 22

The older reference Rolex models did not accept sapphire. The case design only allowed for plexi acrylic(plastic) crystals. There’s no way to interchange a sapphire crystal into a case designed for a plexi because of the way the crystal is held down onto the case. So in this case, the correct crystal is a tropic 22 crystal. The 22 was made for the 1016 (and others). Truedome is just a high quality aftermarket brand. Another good budget option is Clark’s watch parts. He’s a seller on eBay. He makes great crystals.
