  2. SO, it's finally time for a new crazy gen spec-build. After a Daytona w/ gen 4130, 16610 w/ all gen parts except for midcase, now we're going the way of the ceramics. Items will be as follows; ------------------------------ Noob v7 116600 SA3135 408 USD [ordered] Genuine 3135 (brand new) 2400 EUR. Hands NOS 175 USD [ordered] Dial NOS 650 USD [ordered] Ceramic insert NOS 650 USD [ordered] Gen 704-crown 100 USD + full tear-down of the 3135, and assembly, and water testing: 450 EUR w/ Mikael @ www.urdelar.se Keeping rep: Midcase, bezel assembly, crystal, tube, caseback, bracelet. ------------------------ Preliminary cost: 4300 USD It's definitely way better than the 12500 USD I paid for my gen (which I sold a couple of weeks later). 4300/12500 = 34,4% Franken cost.

  3. Dear Friends and Members, I've been diagnosed with heart-failure. I have a bad aortic valve, bicuspid with aortic regurgitation. This has caused my ejection fraction in my left ventricle to dip below 30% and the pounding I felt in my chest a week prior to Christmas was the right side of my heart going into overload trying to keep me upright. I've been taking it easy and an open-heart surgery to replace the bad valve with once sourced from what I imagine is a lovely little porcine is soon to be underway. I'm a 38 year old male, non-obese with normal cholesterol, blood-pressure, and in otherwise great health. This is apparently a genetic connective tissue disorder gone off the rails. If you feel something... say something, you fellows especially. Don't be stubborn or stoic - it can kill you. Wishing you all good health and a wonderful 2019. I'll be on here and there during my recovery. I'll keep the morphine (or whatever they give me) dazzled trolling to a dull roar 😉 Fondly, A

  8. Thanks Brother somehow the seconds hand fell off last night so I opened it back up this morning to reinstall it. Hope this isnt gonna be a common issue...would like to wear it again trouble free. Anyway I was thinking on how I coud secure the movement and instead of fabricating longer tabs I founda thin plastic business card in my drawer and cut small pieces from it. I think was able to snuggly fit the pieces between the case and movement holder...then mounted the movement tabs over the plastic pieces and screwed down the tabs. problem solved. I see we were on the same wavelength here... Rotor is mounted and its back in full perpetual action!! I plan on taking some better pics...there are a few higher res ones a few posts up to enjoy for now. I plan on doing a SOTC post ....was meaning to do that in december but been busy . Its keeping time and lookin fine... This build kicked my ass but its finally DONE!! it isn't perfect but its mine!!
