New (to me) piece arrived today, I'm in love. Its crying out for a vintage tropic though.

Hi guys I would like to share my " Wiz experience" with you . I sent him 3 watches early April for servicing and also repair on one of them .. His communication was all very good at the early stage but suddenly became erratic and worrying ... from the 13th of May , he stopped replying . After many attempts , including phone calls , communication has been restored but again ,but , since the 26th of june and 2 " gentle reminders" via mail , he stooped replying . I do not believe I will see my watches again ... He keeps telling me bulls**t when he replies ... It is not a communication problem . I believe he repaired these watches ( and others ... as I am not the only one in this case ) and sold them a long time ago . I think he is desesperate for money and that is why he went on the dark side ... I truly tried to believe what he said to me ( another accident ? ) , but that is too much ... WIz ..? A RIP OFF ... Sad ..

Hi folks, I know he doesnt like to blow his own horn, but Ken has been live-updating a thread in his sales section, every time he adds new goods to his replica clothing/leather/accessories store. If you are a repeat customer (like me) or someone looking to buy top-grade soft goods, you will appreciate this message thread. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/171034-new-to-bergies-replica-plaza/#entry1358683 Keep up the good work, KB

Agreed with all except that you can reach the spring on an ETA 2836-2 and similar, since it sits up so high. See my tutorial: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/159437-removing-an-overlayed-date-wheel-without-a-screwdriver/

This ol thing

You can't reach the spring with a dwo in place. Take your first and second finger and rotate the date wheel clockwise, you will line up the teeth in an opening. You'll feel it. Lift up with a single edge razor blade on the outside of the date wheel,it will pop off. To reinstall, take a 0004ths feeler gauge and slide under the date wheel against the spring, and rotate the bezel until you feel it drop down. Your done

To my eye the numbers on the slide rule insert are a little too far from the edge and the datewheel is slightly sunken. Looks like they did piepan subdials where the gen's seem more flat. Overall an improvement over the last version. I'd wait for a review on the whiteface though as it usually the color that is the farthest off the mark. The gen is more silver I believe. Black is the safest choice,but if you aren't a stickler, go for it.
