Hear ye, hear ye! Straight from my parts box(es), here are some oldie, but goodie, vintage Rolex parts: 1) old sub 5512/5513/1680 handset (i've been told you could also use these on an old 1675 GMT with very little, if any, modification. if this is wrong, someone please feel free to correct me). see pics below. medium yellowish patina. they glow briefly after being exposed to source of bright, white light. (gone) 2) old GMT 1675/3/8 black bezel insert with fading gold/gilt yellowish fat font hour markers. there is some aging/damage, especially around the 11 and 18 hour markers, as seen on pics below. (gone) 3) old, open font (open 6s/9s) champagne color date disc/wheel, good for 1565/1575 movements, hence good for old GMT 1675/3/8, sub 1680, and datejust 1600/1/3. very nice vintage condition, as seen on pics below. asking $150 OBO shipped worldwide, payable paypal f&f or usps money order. (still avalable) Pics moved to the new date discs thread!
since watch parts threads now no longer show under the OF 'latest', i think i can 'post bump' more liberally now to reflect change in item availability status without repercussions.
i think i have one or two more somewhere in my stuff. worry not, my friend. i'm going thru everything right now. i'll be posting lots more here in the next few days.
Two more things, real quick: 1) Since, again, parts/accessories no longer show up under 'latest', and to help reduce forum clutter, I'll keep this thread open for any and all of my present and future parts sales. I'll just update the title and post bump with new item info. 2) My return policy: you may change your mind for any reason up to 7 days after you had received the item (s), for a full refund, you just pay return shipping and send it back to me exactly as you received it. Fair enough?
Also, still have the rolex 14kt trim stainless steel buckle blade for parts/repair. $15 shipped US, $20 shipped worldwide (paypal f&f).
rolex hooked 7 date wheel, very good vintage condition. good for sub 1680, gmt 1675, datejust 1600/1601/1603. (hooked 7s typically are original to the 1962-1970 period, give or take a few, as nothing is ever written in stone with those things, of course...) $200 shipped, paypal f&f. EDIT: ...and, it's GONE!
Two things real quick: 1) price reduction on the champagne date disc. It's now $125 OBO shipped. 2) speaking of which, anyone interested in a 6542 roulette date disc? PM me if you are.
PCG gmt midcase gone. Still have the champagne date disc and the buckle blade right now. Lots more on deck! Feel free to contact me and ask me if you're looking for anything specific. This has now become a full-time hobby of mine. I can obtain parts for you and give you a deal. I always try to give you a good discount vs the instagram/ebay/other forums prices. Or, just feel free to drop me a PM and say hi! I love to talk watches and am always happy to make new friends..
very nice fat-ish font, nicely faded pepsi, blue back insert on deck. will take and post nice daylight pics tomorrow. only have two crappy pics now i can show...PM early and often if interested.
Vintage, aged, 'skeleton' (aka missing lume) 1675 gmt large hand. $100 OBO shipped, paypal f&f. EDIT: ...and it's withdrawn! I might need it for a project.
