Hi there, great to see you back. We have missed you sir. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I ordered one of these today. First rep in a long time. Your review pushed me to it [emoji1303]

It's so sweet, I have never ever looked Tudors but this is like a honey. The clasp is just WOW. Gen ETA movement in and its a real peach. The case does look little fat and also is the dial made of plastic?

Problem is that most of them need a special type of battery known as he accucell, as those 1960's tuning fork mechanisms were designed for the 344 mercury cells that existed at the time. They ran on 1.33-0.35volts whereas the silver oxide batteries of today run on 1.5volt. Some run fast as a result of substitute batteries unless the movements are modified. There is usually the problem of double indexing. When replacing batteries make sure you don't lose the insulator under one of the battery terminal as you can kill the mechanism. Also the battery goes upside down compared to the mainstream modern quartz movements. The accucell battery is expensive and just a tad smaller as it has a circuit installed on it to accommodate for the movement. Being only 3/4 of the size you would not get the full term of the battery and need to change it sooner than he old mercury batteries. I had a dead 1968 NOS model which I then sold for parts in 2001 as I could not find a substitute quartz replacement due to the STM being at the number 4 position

Update 2 May 2016 My capable partner has managed to transpose the AP fonts onto the datewheel image, and size have been adjusted. The next step would be to do a test print based on the vector file and do a further size/space adjustment if necessary. We have taken care that the font and inter-numerical space accuracy as well as the size vs gen. As mentioned we want the datewheel to work with a normal LWO/rep A7750 cyclop and give the correct magnification vs gen (franken) and a very good magnification for the A7750 variants. I hereby present, the Omega datewheel, named for our intention for the production to be the final word for ROO datewheels in the hobby.
