  2. "An interesting item, but definitely a case for buy the seller before you buy the watch." Yeah. Prices like that give me a rash. After all, it is an obscure watch with maybe three (3 ) buyers in the whole wide world at that price. So, a buyer better like it 'cause they're probably stuck with it. Imho. I peg it at $3K to $4K...but I admit to being cheap and stuck in the past. What really bothers me is I have a pair of 14K Bulova automatic 'Beau Brummel' watches, one yellow, one white, and the yellow one is MIA. Or is it the white one?

  5. An interesting item, but definitely a case for buy the seller before you buy the watch.
  6. Last week
  7. FS : 6429 Explorer COMMANDO - Vintage Rolex Forum (tapatalk.com) Only 46650 euros. ($50,405 USD) Shipping included, no box/no paper. It has been said: "There is a cowboy for every saddle." This looks like a bareback ride to me. Not saying it is not 100% genuine and original...it just seems pricey since they probably sold new for a few $100 bills. Besides...this watch is basically unknown and very good fakes are not hard to find, diluting the original examples. Or...someone pays the $50K price and sticks it in their safe. A few years later they drop under the radar and their goofy grandson pawns it for $200 to buy 'medication'. This happens every day in many variations. I've seen it happen. Imho...basically unknown 'collectorcrap' like this is better flipped while they are Hot rather than saved in case their value drops. If I wanted one of these watches to wear...I would use an aftmkt dial, hands, similar case, and go with an ETA, Seiko etc. movement so it does not end up being sold as 'genuine' down the road. Fyi...the 6429 has cal 1220 that runs at 21600 bph and many older 34mm 64xx watches have cal 1200/1210 and run at 18000 bph. Escapement parts for the cal 1200/1210 are getting hard to find and relatively high $$. The 6429 and most 64xx have 34mm cases with 6.0mm crowns and are basically identical in appearance except for dials/hands.

  8. By the way I know that the hands are a bit too short but they will be replaced when I find some genuine hands to use.

  11. I do not have a horse in this race, but I wonder just how good a properly oiled etc. Daytona clone movement really is? If they are pretty good, maybe just go with the clone in original condition, hope for the best, and leave the 'suicide buttons' alone unless something really needs to be timed. Relatively low cost insurance... Buy another similar movement for parts if trouble arises later on. If the clone movement is running fine and you are Feeling Lucky... Buy a lottery ticket. You might get Big Time Lucky, then go out and buy twenty steel or 18K Daytonas for your RWG friends. Next day...after realizing the question was not about a Daytona clone movement. From what I have read, the 3235 clone seems to be pretty good and being a lot less complicated than a Daytona movement, I would definitely stick with an unaltered clone and see how it goes. Since I never have owned one, a few things that might cause trouble are the winding rotor bearings, reversers, setting and date works. Maybe not.

  13. It’s on the website. If it doesn’t work I’d say just wait for the next one to be posted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I have gen yachtmaster dial. lol I would take 1/3 of that and be happy happy.
  15. I tried it, it did not work. The post on the balance are taller than the clone. Also you need to change escape wheel and pallet fork. They don’t fit either.
  16. Does anybody know Joshua's email address?
  17. Bought this in 2007 first rep edition. do not ear it much, but is a work horse with ETA movement inside , needs a little of TLC
  18. WTF! Link hasn’t worked since 2017 and still not fixed? Is this site no longer active?
  19. I am not familiar with Fizcard & have not purchased anything from Andrew for awhile, but I seem to recall he had multiple payment options. You might try 1 of the other options, or email Andrew & ask him for assistance. He is usually very helpful.
  20. The fix is much easier when you see how all escapement parts work together. The first video explains how the Etachron escapement is made and shows how to check and correct hairspring misalignment, a common ailment: Adjusting the Etachron Regulator: A Beginners Guide (youtube.com) Beat error explained and how to correct it: Beat Error adjustment and the theory behind it. (youtube.com) Beat error correction is much simpler than escapement adjustment but the escapement must be in proper order first.
  21. Here's another Moonswatch in a metal case. Mission to Mars. I love the white face and the red hands. This one isn't mine.
  22. Hey, mods, anyway you can restore my old user name? It was Galevin. I was very active starting 2006-7 and now after appx 1000 replicas and a long nap I am back. Both RWI and RG had no problem when I sign in but here It had no record of me and I had to chose new user name which is my original name but I’m starting life all over again. Any way possible you guys can restore my user name Galevin from years of past?. I had a lot of history with you and other members and like to retrieve my info if at all possible . my name is the same Gerald Levin and my email is the same Galevin@hotmail.com fingers crossed
  23. Hi guys, Is it correct you need to reach the part where the green arrow is pointing in order to correct the beat error of the 2824-2? What is the blue arrow pointing to? Do you need to remove the oscillating weight for that? As it seems to be in the way for that...
