NRG

Old ETA? Unlikely, more like a Hangzhou 6300 http://hangzhouwatch.com/product_view.asp?id=56

Really appreciate all your time and effort Offshore, many thanks for doing this and Merry Christmas to you and family.

Well I'm really p*ssed off about this news and angry at the attitued shown towards him. The Zigmeister is the main reason for me being here and in my mind has been key in making RWG as good as it is today. His absense will be truly missed....I hope the Admin team can work something out with him to bring him back.

Looking forward to it Offshore, payment made...

First look I thought it was a Constellation, it has the pie-pan dial but no gold star at 6. What does the case back look like? Does it have the Observatory or Seamonster logo?

I have the TZ stuff but I'm interested in the Omega and 7750 info. Gladly contribute....

Well that was back in 2003 !!! Perhaps his point of view has changed over the last 4 years...

You'll find watch movements are also listed in Hz or Cycles per second. So what The Zigmeister described above (cw then anti-cw rotation of the balance wheel) is one cycle or Hz. So 28800 is a 4 Hz movement and 21600 is 3Hz, yet the second had moves 8 and 6 times a second respectively...

Yep, DG2813m

Nanuq, this is an old thread. Unless you missed it FL was/is a wind up merchant, he was takin the p*ss out of the board...

Do we know for sure if the parts of the SW200 and 2824-2 are *not* interchangable? Has The Zigmeister done a break down on one yet? And where does the extra jewel go? Thanks!

The rotor can be held in by a screw in the centre or sometimes by a spring clip, don't know what the movement is....you should have removed the rotor when the movement was still in the case, much easier to do it then! Get yourself some watch paper along with the hand puller, use the paper to keep your fingers off the movement and the dial. Don't touch that dial!

Do you mean case clamps? You can get them from the likes of Cousins UK or Ofrei or Jules Borel etc...depending on where you are. http://cousinsuk.com/catalog/4/0/637.aspx All the above can also supply movment rings if that's what you meant.

The positional errors noted above are to do with the point of attachment of the balance spring and the horizontal centering of the balance spring. Jules Grossman discovered in the 19th century the most critical adjustment is the point of attachment of the balance spring to the centre collet of the balance wheel. As mentioned earlier in the vertical position the balance pivots have more friction thus reducing balance wheel amplitude which increase the rate of the watch. The attachment point can be adjusted to minimise but not eliminate the error introduced by the vertical position. Some manufacturers choose the point of attachment to lower the rate in the most common vertical position IE:Crown Down with low error in the Crown left position and a relatively faster rate in the Crown Up position but other manufactures choose different attachment points with different results. So what works for one watch *may not* work for another from a different manufacturer. Hope that helps...

Yes, no problem with either of mine.
