I got your text. Typically when using a pipan dial, the first thing to ck is the position of the stem in the case tube. Be sure it's centered. Mount the movement in the case the way it will be when you're finished. You can raise or lower the movement with movement ring. Once that's done you can work on the hand height. Typically the long post hands are shorter in length than the standard hands, You will probably need to change the cannon pinon. I'm sure you've seen references to an H4. eta also makes an H5 which is usually what you need for a 4 digit build. You will need to change the hour wheel, the minute wheel, and the second wheel. The hour and minute are easy to change as it's just a swap. The second hand is a little harder because you need to remove the train bridge. This is not difficult, but it is very sensitive to alignment when you reinstall it. If you've never done it before it might be a good idea to take it to a watchsmith that is familiar with that process. If you want to try it, I'll help walk you through the process. Startime does not carry the H5 parts, but there is another popular supplier that does. Do you have the open 6 & 9 overlay? You need one for that build. Good luck and lmk if you have any questions.

RIP Sean A great man and actor left us... and someone who shaped and made Bond role an icon George

A prince among men. RIP.

RIP Sir Sean. A true legend.

yes, it's true george ... in fact, we all do. my wife and i usually attend his annual parties. see below a picture that i took a few years back. i blew up the watch and inverted it to reveal a pam 190 ... as for the autograph, i'd rather not ask. part of the reason celebrities enjoy living in the bahamas is because people leave them alone. i'd just as soon keep my reputation with him and not ask for an autograph ... i hope you understand. what i can tell you is that he's a very cool guy and always takes a few minutes to talk to us when he sees us around. all the best.

oddly enough, my mother in law had lunch with sir sean and his wife today. i'll have to e-mail her this pic. lol.
