FIRESALE! Quitting the hobby

I am slowly clearing out some projects and parts as I want to consolidate, hopefully around a few gens. My loss is your gain! Feel free to make offers.
Shipping from Netherlands. NL -> 7 EU, Europe -> 15 EU, WW -> 40 EU

  1. GEN explorer ii bezel with the original gen crystal (without cyclops, but I can send a raffles crystal to be donor). Condition on this is tough but can be just right for those looking for a worn look. Looking for 125 EU, that includes the crystal and donor raffles cyclops.

  2. OC 16710 case w/ lug holes and tube (not pictured). Paid 360, anything above 300 EU is good for me

  3. GEN fadede coke bezel: 100 EU

  4. GEN 295 crystal used but good condition: 75 EU

  5. Datejust Build: NEEDS WORK - too many shots at the VS3135 keyless. Either you can fix it or need to throw in a new 3135, so I’m selling it cheap. Raffles base, Alix hands and crown, gen dial with erosion in the center (personally I like it). Looking for 150 EU. Will also include a free raffles fluted bezel!

  6. DrVintage / Natas 5513 dial. Bought new on RWI. These two legends made a batch of these dials 3-4 months ago voor 80 EU. Can sell for 60.

Have more stuff coming that I am getting fixed or need to photograph, so feel free to ask :)

(Neo)vintage sub lineup

Some odd ducklings I have in the rotation and will likely end up selling. Love how these are all fairly low budget and a creative way to achieve something beautiful

- 14060 made from a BP 16610
- kermit has a gen insert, rest is stock JF
- watchdives 5513V2 (discontinued) turned into 79090
- 7928 tudor with helenarou case, viet dial, gen ETA and gen t19 (arguably most high level)

WTS EU -> CHEAP Blue Tudor Submariner Dial (76100 - 79090) Raffles

Crisp, never used. Used the black one instead for my build. These have a better font for ‘submariner’ than their date window counterparts. Fits any ETA or ETA clone.

Want 25 eu for it - or trade your PT5000 or other reliable ETA clone

Shipping Netherlands 5eu Europe 12eu

WW probably not worth it

14060 Courtesy of Ornery Magician!

This madman aged and matted a raffles dial to perfection, slimmed and drilled lugs into a BP16610 case, removed the rehaut engravings, and even lowered the bezel profile to match the 14060 lower bezel.

A work of art imho!

62MAS

Seestern 38mm case with an Alix Seiko dial. Kept the crown and caseback (which I could shave down to save another mm thickness, tempting)

Thinking that the cadisen hommage did not have a ceramic bezel, so it would have had more of a vintage aesthetic. Enjoying it as it is for now, might try and do a cadisen as well later

Was not planning to buy both of these but here we are. Might as well do a comparison! This is the Watchdives V2 which is overall closer than the current V3.

HelenaRou case with gen ETA and viet dial, gen T19. Obviously a bit more expensive

For me case thickness and crownguards are always a big deal, so putting them next together, you can see the WD comes really close. At the tip of the lugs the WD is a big higher. Both wear nice and close to the wrist.

I will age this baby and get a raffles 79090 dial for this one, and silver hands. I heard the crown is 6.8mm instead of 7mm and it can be hard fitting a 703, so maybe will just polish down the current one. Anyone ever also started from this watchdives?
