Gents, Hope all are doing well! Always great to see old friends on the forum! Missed you guys! rolo- I currently have a Plain Jane V23 fitted; at some point, I still need to get it converted to 13-130 specs. Always something to do, and that project just keeps getting put off The diameter of my case is a little over 35mm... I think these old 1940s watches just fit so nicely on the wrist... Elegant, charming, perhaps a bit understated and yet... When someone knows what you have on your wrist, they know what you have on your wrist! Haha... I will admit, the 911 is a lot of fun! But... You can't wear a car on the wrist. I think that's what I love about watches... They're with you wherever you wear them; just one of those little joys in life where you can glance down at your wrist and have a reason to smile

Nicely done! Think 1940's PPs are my weakness... The chronographs of this era especially! Mine says hi!

I have too much respect for the brand to do anything cheap. So: my build had to be the best possible within a reasonable budget. Not knock off quartz signed PP. Not for me. So, to create that 530 Chrono specially cased in white gold for Garrard of London, I used a genuine 1940's swiss made solid gold chronograph, modified the case to PP looks and installed one of these beautiful cartel dials. It took a year to find the correct donor watch - this case was number 4... - but it was worth the hunt !!!! Enjoy the pics !

Bingo ! and totally agree with you : he (D. Llewelyn) is so classy in those early ones

Thunderball. I like Ben Wishaw's character very much but Desmond Llewelyn was the man and his performance was made even better by the fact that he didn't understand anything technical at all.

Q: Try to be a little less than your frivolous self, 007. Q: Now here's something I want you to use with special care. With special care. James Bond: Everything you give me... Q: is treated with equal contempt... Yes, I know... indeed Did I say that before ? well I suppose I didn't, but should have... "Bart's - definitely - the man" Many Thanks as usual my friend

Our contact in the DGSE will help you

Hi Gents, During one cleaning of the 7750, I accidentally broke the operating lever : Thanks to Bart, I managed to find a replacement part on the bay but was wondering if any of you (maybe in France or in Europe) would have that spare part to sell me ; would you ?

Nomos today

@rolojack if you are not familiar with them, it's well worth having a read through Ubi's old posts. I just dug up this one for starters. we need to find a way to get him stop playing with Porsches and start building watches again.

Welcome onboard.

I still have some of Paul's handwritten happy birthday cards somewhere... Along with a few Abay watches

No problem, happy to help. It occasionally makes a small bit of noise but not to the point that I regularly notice it while on the wrist. The noise is mostly due to the fact that the 9015 rotor freewheels in one direction and winds in the other. There are "mods" that basically saturate the auto-wind mechanism in oil in order to keep them from being noisy. I really strongly recommend against that; that's a great way of ruining your movement, dial, and hands.

^^^short of an official endorsement from Patek Philippe, you can't get better recognition than that?^^^

Newbie here, so let me share a few favorites from my collection.

"(StarTime) They told me they only deal with watchsmiths. Their bevel crystals are exactly the same as gen." Their crystals are identical to oem in my experience. They offer two grades of sapphire crystals so be sure to get the swiss made version.

Depends on where you sit sort of you say potato I say potahto.To a guy on the Rolex forum it is a fake to us a rep/reproduction sounds a lot better....................
