On the weekend I caught some of this on that Last night I grilled it over an open fire on the deck with fresh asparagus. Delicious!

Took the mistress out for a buck forty today... It was 73 degrees with stunning blues skies... Ass is a little sore, but all in all an excellent 7 hour run...

I wore my ploprof down to 175 feet todat

Hour counter lock and hour hammer spring reinstalled correctly. This took about 1.5 hrs and zillions of tries. The key is to put one tip of your tweezers in the hole in the hour hammer and the other on the spring and squeeze them together to slip the end of the hour hammer spring over the hour hammer. Figuring that out tool an hr and the another 30 min for success. Now let's pray I can get the date platform back on without messing up the delicate assembly.

Now that is one great looking ROLEX photo

OK that's going to have to go to Vaccum in Florida or George in Texas. George is a straight-up watch technician who specializes in 7750 and Vac is a tech/modder who does first-class lume work as well as servicing. Both of these people have a two to three month backlog, so be patient if you send it out to them. Modders who have to answer piles of follow-up mail don't get actual work done. VACLUME@GMAIL.COM or MeFixWatch4U@yahoo.com Both these guys have their own sub-forums .. Vaccum's is Vac's Modification Shop here on RWG, and George runs 14060 or 16610? Watch Repair over on the RWI replica forum.

As a replica watch arrives, the movement inside is not "factory fresh." It is either used or has been stored for an extended period in a non-sanitary factory environment. All mechanical watches require a complete dis-assembly, cleaning, examination for worn parts, re-oiling (in the proper amounts!!) and final assembly, and testing for water tightness every five years Why? The oil inside every mechanical watch slowly evaporates and turns to gum over time, if you use it or if you do not use it. This does not matter. Now, knowing the replica watch you just bought has a dirty or dry or possibly over-oiled movement your first job is to protect your investment and have it serviced. When that is done, you will have a watch which keeps excellent time and is good to go for another 5 years. Modding is done by a skilled craftsman who can do any number of things to a watch. Scrape off the poor Chinese luminous material and replace it with genuine Swiss lume. Re-shape the basic case of the watch to make it appear more genuine. Add swiss-quality anti-reflective coatings to the watch crystal. Remove Chinese parts and replace them with genuine parts from the actual watch the replica is trying to emulate, like dials, hands, straps .. etc ..
