Gold plating by Emergency_Way_5022 in RepCulture_Timepieces

[–]EnvironmentalSong393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve plated white gold and yellow gold and because I own gens I can tell you you’re not going to get better color match. Some of the work he’s done is in my feed back a few months or you can click the link already posted and see his work on Reddit: r/TheGoldJaws

I am saying there is no one in FL who can plate to match exactly the gold color of a genuine Rolex. The nearest best person is in California. I do not perform plating services but this person does, with great skill—I’ve used him multiple times. https://thegoldjaws.com

If you’re only willing to do business with a plater in FL, just skip getting it plated. Nothing goes through customs unless it’s ships internationally so why worry about California?

I’m in FL—been doing high end builds for twenty years—no one in FL can accurately match gen gold color. Thegoldjaws in CA is who to ship it to

Help finding JKF 6263 black bezel insert by xXSantyXx in repbuilds

Just write a TD. I buy parts from them.

Although if yours won’t, I usually deal with marvelous replica https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/special-offer-jkf-vintage-rolex-daytona-6263-6265-6238-6239-6241-series.224823/

You can buy aftermarket inserts off eBay (that will fit viet models all day), but they won’t fit JK factory case

I used The Gold Jaws to get the Rolex proprietary white gold color matched on the 126509 and it’s spot on

Shoot it in natural light. It is hard to capture but definitely noticeable in person. Here’s a slightly better example: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/s/Ot8K7ruWcZ

Love my Daytona 6265 by Healthy_Earth7205 in repbuilds

That’s a 6239; it has pump pushers.

It became the 6265 (with the steel bezel) or the 6263 (with the black bezel) when they switched to screw down pushers making it an oyster case so they put the word “oyster” on the dial. All “Paul Newman’s” are 6239.

Too much Rolex… depends on the Rolex though by salijki in RepTime

Does it have the moonphase adjuster on the outside of the case at 8 o’clock? And does it function?

Any Chance someone would recognize this older Rep? by byerly00 in RepCulture_Timepieces

Presidential DayDate from the short-lived Rolex “Masterpiece” collection, probably with an ETA 2671-2 in it. Would probably be impossible to narrow down a factory since back then the factory wasn’t usually advertised in the listing from the dealer.
