We'll guys, I did it. It may not be much of an accomplishment to some, but for me I feel Great. I sent my Omega Ploprof out on July 19th to MD2020 to have the date centered in the window. When I sent it, the watch was working perfectly and keeping great time. We'll as most of you know, MD had major issues and nothing I sent got fixed right. Although I was luckily enough to at least get my watches back, 4 months later, my Ploprof arrived broken! The crown & stem wouldn't go all the way in, the movement was mounted upside down ( MD had the crown on the right side like most other watches, but the Ploprof's crown belongs on the left side) and the hour hand was stuck at 6 o'clock. So after my initial frustration cooled down some, I decided I would start the process of trying to fix my own watches, if possible. So I started purchasing tools and getting things together to work on my own stuff. We'll today I decided to jump in and see what's up with the Ploprof. I took the watch apart & decased the movement. I found the movement was not mounted correctly in the ring / holder, so it was causing the movement & hands to sit lower under the dial than it should. So the hour hand was hitting the 6 o'clock stick marker on the dial. The seconds hand was also slipping. I had taken previous pictures of the watch movement inside the watch before and looking back at them, I could tell MD must have broken the original stem and replaced it. So the new stem now was just a tad too long. So I cut the stem just a bit, remounted the movement, reseated the hands, recased everything and Whoo Hoo. It's working great again. So far, it's keeping great time too. It's a great feeling to not only have my Ploprof back on my wrist, since the last time I wore it was back in early July, but I fixed it! Thanks goes out to Freddy333 for his suggestion to decase the movement to check if it stills sticks at 6 o'clock. Your suggestion gave me the idea to go ahead and give it a try.

I have been contacted by the price of Nigeria offering me 1trillion dollars, maybe it´s too good to be true?

For Sale, slightly used ... a couple of desk swirlies. Yeah that'll buff right out, trust me.

Isn't it 24-600? For those interested this is how the 5506 ended up looking:

I like the unique Linde Werdelin designs. It's a good looking rep imo! If they also could make this, I would be a happy guy

cartier cleanning kit , around $40 ebay. Got mine for free from buying gen. It comes with a spray , soft brush, micro fiber cloth. This spray is a important part of this treatment. it works like a tire shine, spray on and brush it, Leave on for an hour, then clean with the microfiber cloth. Wash it off with cold water, Strong dish washing gel. Not foam type. use another tougher tooth brush to clean it. Don't use a soft one. make sure it's fully try after , use a hair dryer in COLD mode is best. This help to get the silk feel better now here comes to important part. choose the correct polish cloth. All you need is a eye glasses clean cloth. However, NOT mircofiber or towl material. These type will not get the same result Mine is a thin cloth, the material is slippery, and a bit sheen on surface. Sorry, I don't know what this kind of material is call, name it if you know. this cloth give a slik and sheen polish to the bracelet . Rub with force link by link. once you rub it on, you will see the shine already. after all done, the bracelet should be so silk that it can slide off your finger. without this same material cloth, the shine will not be as gen like., and not as slik. Once you use the spray, you can feel how smooth it is already before wash. so guys, don't really special, but you need the right tools.

I'm actually measuring a two week old Josh 1680 A2836 (RLSV01004) right now: The rehaut opening is 25.4 mm. There's a slightly recessed area for the dial, that's 26.2 mm, so a 26 mm dial (such as the Yuki snowflake I have here) fits perfectly. A 26.5 mm dial would probably need to be shaved.

My favorite of last year: Laco B-Uhr
