Little chocolate sumptin-sumptin for today.

At a $700 limit the Spinmaster is your best option. Spinmaster is his username on most of the rep boards. You can also look for them on the sales boards. Here is his 6263 thread for starters. http://www.rwg.cc/topic/86745-dw-6263/

Lune does look darn good!

Whew! Glad we were able to change you mind on that. I don't care about the lume as much - The tritium may or may not have been dead - I thought it was dead on my 79090 until I woke up in the middle of the night and found it glowing. It just glows really dimly and you can't tell until after your eyes have FULLY adjusted...

DON'T DO IT! The 79190 is a beautiful watch! It's not a big deal to change the hands or insert - but don't solder in spring bars - that's irreversible! If you're wanting a milsub you're still going to be wrong with this model with the Sapphire crystal - buy a Rep and build what you want - but don't tear into a full boxed and paper'd 79190. If you don't want it - sell it - but don't "wreck it".

Heck man! I think we all dig it! Looks just right. E

I made a vintage canvas strap for my 5513 and I really dig it:

Id take it a step at a time. Open it up and see if the rotor spins freely without the caseback on. Next step depends on the result.

Hmmmmmmmm. Manually wound, it works fine? I wonder if the bearing that holds the rotor is dead? No movement there means no winding, and that rotor/bearing is the piece that gets the most pain (torques, impact impulses, etc). Okay I'll play devil's advocate. And I'm the guy here that runs over old watches just to hear them scream so I get a "get out of jail free" card. If you're not going to wear it anymore if the repair fails, how is that different than boogering it up with the wrong lube? I say open the back with a wadded up rubber glove or a wad of duct tape, then see if you can get a drop in the rotor pivot. See if that frees it up. If it does, there's your problem. If it doesn't, then it's still dead / no change. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Wearing my GMT II , i'm still speechless by the work done on it. Have a nice day Cats

Love it ! Specs?

On the plus side a radioactive Rep would solve all of the crappy lume issues surely! Maybe this is why the new reps all have super lume!! LOL

A little Hammy for Friday

Nice AP link, thanks.

Fantastic work, the dial looks much improved!!!

I think the Noob 187 is a great option.
