I’ve recently been researching options for high quality aftermarket dials for my upcoming 16000 dj builds and I stumbled across Afterdials.

They seem to have a lot of great options for basic white/black/blue dials as well as a lot of beautiful stone dials.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this company or other alternatives!

Can’t have to many watch pictures right? I’m looking to buy an old crowns 16000 case for a franken build and I’d love to see all your OC builds! Cheers!

Hey all, I’m looking to pass on this beautiful arch build.

The crown stem is stripped, and because I haven’t ordered from raffles, I haven’t gotten a replacement. All raffles build with an aged bezel running on an NH38 movement. Please see photos for condition.

Looking for $250 CAD/$175 USD/€156 Euros + shipping.

Preferably a Canadian buyer, but can ship worldwide.

Thanks for looking! less

Genuine Rolex 604 crown just came in, which adds to my collection of Genuine parts for a 16000 Datejust build.

This build is slowly coming together and I’m really appt about it. Next up is sourcing a OC case!

I tried to put in my new gen crown on my raffles 16014 build, but I took out the stem in the wrong setting and screwed up the keyless works.

2.5 hours and a lot of swearing later I got the movement working again, but I will be ordering new parts for my planned superfranken.

OC case and crown tube, Viet bracelet, gen crown, and gen linen dial.

What’s the fastest you’ve ever reset a keyless works?

The hardest decision we make every day eh? What are you wearing today?

Hey folks! I’ve been working in on building up my 16014 Linen dial build to be gen spec/close to gen, and I’d love your advice on a parts list.

My plan is currently:

Genuine Rolex Crown (on the way)

OC midcase

Viet/HGS bracelet with custom clasp codes

Either Gen engine turned or OC white gold bezel

What are your thoughts?

Probably my two favourite watches at the moment. Which do you prefer? 16014 & 126234. What are you wearing today?

Probably my 2 favourite watches. Which do you prefer? Vintage (16014) or modern (126234)? Let’s see yours!

Gen Linen Dial from ~1978-1982. What do you think?

Finally finished up my proof of concept 16014 build.

Raffles build with a gen dial. I’ll now be looking to upgrade with Gen spec/Viet parts to complete the build. Thanks for looking!
