I owed TC these pictures. The watch is really awesome, and I said I'd share pictures of it with the community.... So here it is !!! I've been wearing it for over 2 month now -and yes: no scratches....-, and I love it more and more. I was planning on upgrading it, but finally it's great as it is.

Happy Boxing Day

Ylfig leaving this afternoon for a few days tried on 6 last night , could not decide. Bring one of my 8 watch travel cases problem solved! PS mellons cali dial in the mix for the trip.

Lovely watch looks amazing. Though I feel like every yachtmaster needs one upgrade: gen dial, as I feel like no rep dial comes close. Is Tc still offering these?

Forget about dissembling the movement down to the stage in your photo, you will never get it back together again, trust me! I guess that you have jumped/pushed the hacking lever out of the groove that it sits in the castle/clutch wheel. You need to try the least intrusive method of fixing it as there are many pitfalls that will leave you in a much worse position. I would try this.... Remove the balance assembly. To do this you just remove the 1 screw that is located at the 4 o'clock position in your photo above. Using a pair of tweezers gently lift up the balance bridge that the balance wheel sits underneath. As you lift it up the balance spring and wheel should follow. Sometimes the balance wheel can get hooked and you don't want to damage your balance spring so give it a little wiggle to release it. If all go's well then you will be holding the balance c ock (bridge) with the balance wheel dangling by the spring. This is OK the balance spring will not be damaged with just the weight of the balance wheel. Gently place it somewhere safe:) Now with a pin or needle you should be able to push the end of the hacking lever where it pressed onto the balance wheel. Try doing this with the stem inserted and engaged for normal use. Wiggle the stem to see if you can 'jump' the hacking lever back into it's groove. You may need a helping hand to do this You will know if you are successful when you move the stem in and out of the hand setting position the end of the hacking lever will move in and out where you have been pressing on it with the pin. If all go's well then you need to replace the balance c ock. To replace the balance c ock(bridge) gently lift it back into position with tweezers, it's quite tricky as you have to align the impulse jewel with the pallet lever which is underneath and out of view and the top and bottom pivots of the balance wheel.. But don't stress, this all sounds difficult but with a bit of perseverance you will have it back on. Before you tighten the balance c ock screw gently flick the balance wheel (stem in normal running position) and the watch should run. If doesn't start ticking then you either have the impulse pin outside of the pallet fork or your pivots are not in there holes. Do not tighten the balance c ock securing screw until you have it installed properly! If the balance wheel is located properly or the watch is ticking then start to tighten the balance c ock screw, if at any stage the balance become trapped or stuck STOP! loosen it and start again. Summary: Remove balance assembly Press end of hacking lever with pin or needle with stem inserted and wiggle stem to get hacking lever back into correct position. Replace balance assembly ensuring balance is moving freely before tightening retaining screw. Job done? I would say this is the least intrusive method and 'may' work. If it does not then I think you need to get it to a watch smith as removing the hands and dial then messing with the keyless works is tricky stuff. Good luck

The hacking on the 7750 uses a break on the balance wheel. So all you need to do is gently flick the balance wheel to see if it is free or braked by the hacking lever. You may be able to see this hacking lever that is just hidden away underneath the bridge where it says HUB4100 at the 11 o'clock position of the balance wheel in your photo. If it is still hacked when the stem is pushed in then you have a problem in the keyless works/stem which is hidden under the dial side. Good luck

Oh yes, cleaning them isn't a problem, it's just the amount of contamination from just one light touch is amazing. You clean whatever, take a picture, rearrange it slightly, accidentally brush it against the white backdrop, or the side of a finger, or even clean it and decide to give it a last cursory wipe with the edge of the cloth, or see a hair has settled on it and flick it off with your finger, take another photo and go "WTF?". At least I'm not a microbiologist who gets to see all those microbes and bugs and stuff, I'd be forever showering myself in boiling water

Watch sent and tracking working. Only a matter of days before the movement review guys. Kudos to Toro's super fast service.

Nice app! At the moment I have a pic of my wife and daughter on the background. Replacing them for a watch might put my hobby in jeopardy...

You have come to the right place. Welcome to RWG.

Welcome and good luck with your search! Most active sales seems to be here and RWI from what i have seen.

Run away!

I just built this franken 5513. My plan is to use all gen parts eventually. I'm liking the gilt though, so it may be a while before I get bored with it The build list is: Gen 5513 midcase Gen 24-700 crown and 24-7000 tube Ingod gilt dial Yuki case back ST vintage bezel assembly, pearl removed from insert ST t-19 crystal DG 4813 movement Rafflestime #2 movement ring, modded 21j hands, "gilded" Gnomon NATO I settled on an Ingod gilt dial for the franken stage. It's not as correct as some put there, but the Ingod is relatively inexpensive, and more than adequate as a temporary solution. I had an old cartel 1675 case back that fit the gen midcase well, by there was no room for a gasket. Luckily, I found this Yuki from dbane... I used a DG4813 movement. It fits perfectly--the stem hole lines up smack in the center of the case tube, but I had to sand down a Rafflestime #2 ring pretty far to get it to center the movement properly in the case: I rubbed some 21j hands down with 1500 grit paper to produce a gilt effect, then baked them enough to get a decent color match to the dial markers. I popped the ugly base pearl out of the insert and tried to fit an acrylic I have, but the acrylic was too big. So that still needs to be done. But here is the semi-finished product: I still need to find a bezel assembly, a case back, hands, and a movement. But, these will help when I decide to go full-gen:
