Does SEAD have a website?

[Suk 0]

Sead has always been awesome to deal with and he is a TD on RWI.
What are the mods you will be doing on the sub?

On the sub I plan to do:

- case reshaping, soften and aging
- new plexi glass
- dial aging (maybe a new dial too)
- hands aging
- dial and hands lume
And probably:
- new athaya crown and tube
- new DWO

But it is still open.

I contact him per email. [email protected].

Send him a link of what you want, and he’s tell you what he can do.

nice watches. and yes i've dealt with sead a couple times myself and it's been a pleasure each time...

i've been eyeing a PN daytona but with a stainless steel bezel like the real deal. 

i already own an alpha with the same bezel and dial configuration, so i'm looking for one with the SS bezel instead.

To my knowledge, sead doesn't stock it, anyone know where I can source one?

Oh my.. I have never get tempted to Vintages.. But those are sexy enough to having me tempted..

Wow... Stunning.. I have to load bullets.. Thanks for sharing..

@Suk

sorry I have other 2 questions about 1665,

the hole in the lug seem big they accept already 2mm spring bar?

And maybe I have already ask you, the engraving between the lug are correct ?

Tks

Hi,

I’m not an expert but I think it doesn’t accept 2mm spring bar. I’ve read somewhere that you have to modify also the bracelet to make the hole bigger for a 2mm spring bar.

I can not say anything about the engraving. Sorry. I plan to wear it always with the bracelet.. so the engravings was not an issue for me

Ok tks , because in the pics seem that the hole are bigger than other jkf 5513 and 1680. It is an important point because otherwise I have to send it to a modder..and cost money

For the engraving I mean if the number are correct for the watch 1665 .

I have other curiosity about the crown dimension but I don’t want bother you anymore ..

Have a good day

Don’t worry... I’ll answer you whatever you want and I can, but I’m not an expert.

I bought it cause it is a good base to mod. The mods that I want are:

-case reshape and aged
-dial aged
-dial aged
-resume
-athaya crown and tube
-dwo
- new plexi

I have already do these mod on a 1680 with a modder but it was expensive ..so I try to understand if I can do by myself little improvement..

Ok... have you heard about kilowattore? It seems really competent and with fair prices. I do not have the skills to do that

Read this

https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/modification-repairs/280164-want-to-mod-that-cartel-jkf-factory-vintage-sub-the-basics-tutorial

 

is not impossible to do (hole and CG )at least you throw in the garbage the middlecase and buy another 1665 mov 2812 for 160$..

 

more difficult is change tube and crown..but there are other tutorial for that ..

I have done the case reshape for my double red, enlarged the holes to 1.25mm for the gen-like spring bar, oldened the insert and swapped a 2842 movement in it. IT took me like 8hrs just to reshape properly the case.

They aren't expensive. It's a fucking lot of work to do...

I’m a white collar and I earn 70€ a day for 8h of hard work ..I have to change job in the rep watches business
