New t-19 installed from M Young

Howdy All, I'm not that perfect with words, so ill just say what i think here, over the past year or 2 i've bought several watches of Legend, he has the knowledge of AP and others that i really think he should own an AD ! My hands clap at the work he has done for me and others, and the results achieved by taking the time too get a watch as close to 99% Gen as possible, to the point where my Local AP AD hasn't been able to pick my watches. Full credit too you bro, and thanks for the deals done today and the 2 new in comings ! your a credit to this forum ! Cheers The Platypus from Down Under !

Sounds good Martijnp what do you say whenever i get my ass over to you you take me out for one of those potato sausage

This one for sale in the sales area.

New one!

The dial looks like a good (not perfect) aftermarket dial. Although I cannot see the Valjoux engraving along the edge of the plate below the balance, the movement looks like a VJ72. Otherwise, I cannot tell if the other parts are gen or aftermarket.....& if aftermarket, whether they came from Phong. In a case like this, buy the seller before you buy the watch.

Just a status update, I ended up getting the screws from a very old watch parts wholesaler in Sydney so I've got her mounted and running. i had bought the movement from siesta181 on this forum and it runs and keeps good time but the timing hand will stall( but only sometimes) I want to change the hands to some from yuki. I wouldn't mind setting up an oyster bracelet for it but have no idea on the right end links (580?) But overall I'm happy with it. There's a bit of pride in the piece from installing the gen crown and tube replacing the pushers and mounting the hands and movement in the case. ive almost forgot the disappointment in paying spin master to build and service the watch and getting a watch that wouldn't run right and leaked(took 5 months to build whilst waiting for parts to ensure pushers were waterproof and then another 3 months wasted sending it back to him twice) then sending rolexman the spin master serviced movement and a new 45 min conversion kit then having him recommend replacing it as a cheaper option. Then he refused to return the movement and parts to me( rolexman is a thief) i think I'm ready to tackle the Daytona that I've got in the watchmakers drawer. Anybody got a running val 726 they want to sell holler my way.

Concepta is gone, and even if he weren't, he wasn't the modder. Keep in mind, the A7750 hands need to be modified to work (unless you have a very old 21.6k movement). Also make sure you use the ETA day and date wheels. In the US, you have several choices. Personally I would reach out to to member "misieped" and see if he can do what you need. PBDad is another choice, but he has an outside watchsmith that would probably do the work (which means it could take longer), or go to Vaccum (aka Vac's Modification Shop) if you also want the dial re-lumed,

Wow, that was fantastic! You gave me a front seat for todays Chemistry class. Well done! This should be a sticky.

actually the fraud chrono doesn't bother me much cause i barely use it and can't tell whether it's functional or not on wrist, but the date window is tooo thick, which need put larger tolerance on that (and the case back is sightly thicker as well, as above said the gen is about 12.6, but the rep is about 14mm), but one good thing is the lume is superb.... so how to say, as the nautilous chrono v1, it's overall good but still need improvements though ...

The more modding the more fun !!! I have a stock of 5 DW dayto cases... All good one awaiting for good dials ! The rest is easy to find....
