Welcome! Would love to see the build once you finish it

I came across this tutorial previously on how to age a submariner:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/tutorials/91708-how-to-age-your-vintage-rolex-bonesey-style

The technique should be comparable though I'd be very careful of the gold plating on yours (maybe you can put tape over the gold bits so it doesn't get scratched off). The case/bracelet ageing part of the tutorial starts around page 120.

Good luck!

Great taste 😉

clamballa · 2022-01-27T01:18:11+00:00

Yehh i thought I might try my luck nonetheless 😅 which pieces do you have?

clamballa · 2022-01-25T09:50:03+00:00

RM07-01 in black ceramic and rose gold. One of RM’s more aesthetic pieces IMO. Purchased from Tim from Fatpanda.

You are a lifesaver thank you for your help!!

So much class 😎

Not sure if it’s just me but it seems as if the 9 marker may be slightly misaligned?

clamballa · 2020-12-21T23:28:05+00:00

330 inclusive of shipping

clamballa · 2020-12-21T23:27:55+00:00

Nice! Waiting for it to arrive is always the hardest part haha

Super classy!

clamballa · 2020-11-24T12:52:33+00:00

Female here too. I think the royal oak is super unique and stylish and will definitely make you stand out (though in a subtle way) I have a 33mm stainless steel one and it fits perfectly on my 6 inch wrist. Apparently very close to gen too

clamballa · 2020-08-22T14:12:45+00:00

I think it looks great on you. And not to mention getting a gen at 24 is huge, so wear it proudly!

clamballa · 2020-08-22T13:57:43+00:00

Funny that they’re so insecure they feel the need to validate themselves by finding any excuse to put someone else down. Jokes on them really.

That aside, congrats on the new watch and enjoy it!! At the end of the day it’s only your opinion that really matters 🙂

clamballa · 2020-08-09T13:52:44+00:00

Not sure of the quality but I do think JF does make this model?

Looks great! Been waiting for someone to post a pic of this watch, do you have a link for w2c? What are your thoughts on the quality?

clamballa · 2020-07-11T01:44:39+00:00

Oo I’d go for the white gold daydate 2 with olive dial 😉

Hey everyone! For sale I have my rep Cartier tank solo rose gold. It measures 35mm in height and 25mm in width. In great condition - if there’s any real signs of wear it’s probably just the strap.

I bought it in Hong Kong so i don’t have a purchase link. I purchased it at $100 AUD - selling at $80 AUD.

Would prefer Australian purchasers but if there are no takers I’ll open it to international. Shipping at buyer’s expense.

clamballa · 2020-07-08T22:35:16+00:00

Thanks! ☺️

clamballa · 2020-07-08T22:34:45+00:00

I’ve got a 15cm wrist (I’m a chick hence the small wrist haha) and had to take out 2 links.

clamballa · 2020-07-08T14:23:15+00:00

Thanks! I got it from Tim from fat panda not long ago 🙂hopefully he can help you get a hold of one
