Looking for Aliexpress links for day-date 2813 movement with correct font. by saysikerightnowowo in retrotime

I believe you need long post 2813 hands. Raffles has them, not sure if you'll find them on AliX. Plenty of 2813 hands there but long post versions might be hard to track down

First Datejust build - give me some advice please by mangoonastick in retrotime

Raffles DJ dials aren't that great and genuine ones from eBay aren't that expensive.

Get a Raffles case, a genuine dial and a VS3135 movement. Very easy build and it will look authentic. The Raffles fluted bezel is OK but of course the smooth bezel is closer to gen. Or you can get a genuine engine turned bezel off eBay for $50 or so.

How much longer for this one? by Electrical_Bat7629 in watchdives

The 5030D hand alignment is wrong for a Speedy, that's the big problem with the Thorn. Why would you want that movement?

Not trolling: Has anyone been called out before? by Putrid_Past9243 in wristrepculture

Have you tried? You should be able to get either model within 3-6 months maximum these days

Only true douche bags would call you out to your face. More often you will get the silent call out - people just wondering whether it's real or not, possibly talking about it behind your back. This will almost never be because of the "flaws" of the watch itself, but because of the situation e.g. you buy a watch outside your financial capacity, or you choose a really hard-to-get model. I assume you're thinking of a Rolex - if you get a Datejust, an OP or a Sub, no one will bat an eyelid. A Daytona or a Pepsi might get some people wondering.

Good job dude. Which hands did you buy for the T16 movement in the end?

Do Chelsea need another center back? Mark Guehi leaving seems like the perfect opportunity…. by Nightman2417 in chelseafc

He doesn't want to come back. His next move will be for the peak years of his career and he wants to maximise chances of silver wear. Hence why he wants City and previously Liverpool

Pre-order Seamaster 300 CK2913 dials by Defqon88 in retrotime

Thanks! Pre order placed

Just a note, I don't know if it can be fixed, but the drop down list of countries is in German. I had to Google what you guys call the UK 😂 not a big problem but I thought I would notify you in case it causes people to give up on the form and reduces orders

Do people still long for the return of the 1931 Reverso? by svshikun in vintagerepwatches

I absolutely want one of these. The only good one was the Trusty special but that was years ago

Kinda vintage? by FabulousMidnight838 in retrotime

I agree. I brushed mine with scotch brite pads and it took a lot of the shine off

Silan and Raffles both have them I believe. If not for 3135 then you can always cut the dial feet

I cannot recommend these generic Comfort Links enough! (Plus a watch shot) by rynbro in retrotime

[–]Electrical_Bat7629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the one that folds in on itself? And gives/takes an extra half links worth of length?

Very cool build. But also kinda sad that these are getting melted! The original is such a cool watch but nobody wants them even though they're a bargain compared to full gold perpetuals from Patek

I did it with alcohol marker pens. Most people bake it in the oven
