  1. Every year for many years a couple of guys get scammed, it's a shame to say but on this festive and holy time for many religions out come the bad guys. Now I can tell you most if not all were avoidable here are some common sense let us call them measures. If a deal is to good to be true it is. Do not pay gift unless you know the guy, offer to pay fees and send as a purchase it is the safest. Watch out for fly by night dealers (AAA Swiss my A**), stick w/ our TDs. Buy the seller not the watch but also buy the buyer an offer from a guy posting regular w/ a VIP or Platinum should always be preferred. On another note guys will sometimes pop in here to buy who are known/regulars on other boards and will say so, you can PM me for background checks on a buyer or seller for that matter.

  2. Greetings friends, following to one of my previous threads regarding to finding a movement for dial feet which were for a DG movement, I had to overcome just one more hurdle. I needed a datewheel overlay. That was the easy part, but having failed putting one on an eta, I considered in finding a way on not stuffing up again. While I was using blu tack to hang up a poster, it struck me to try out an experiment. I got my 3c tweezer and started pulling some very fine strands of blu tack fibers. I then placed some on the original datewheel, enough to grip the DWO, followed by placing the dial over it to see how it lined up. I then rotated the rapid date change until I saw some figures out of line. If out of line, I removed the dial and slowly turned the datewheel to get them right. Once achieved, I marked out with a very fine permanent marker on the edge of the DWO to the edge of the original date wheel. I then removed the DWO with the blu tack and put 4 tiny dots of superglue with an old oiler just enough to hold on. This makes it easy for later when removing it again for when doing further repairs or servicing . I then matched the markers with the two overlapping date wheels and placed the dial back on again. I repeated the rapid date Change to make sure it still lined up and presto it s on. If you are not confident with removing the DWO once you have placed it on the blue tack, you can leave it on I and just put tiny dabs of superglue on the edges of the two overlapping datewheels. Hope this may be of use to someone!!!

  3. The (hopefully) final piece of the puzzle materialized, now comes the fitting and massaging to make all the parts work together.

  8. You’ve got a JF watch apparently yes that’s true. The issue like my betters above have pointed out is the A7750 sec@12 movement. It can be a problematic movement due to the accumulated friction in the transfer gears and the possible lack of lubrication in the friction areas. The movement has indeed gotten better in the hobby in the recent years and are fairly decent. Yours could be a piece with poor lubrication or dirt in it. Yes the design of the movement isn’t ideal but there are ways to overcome it by service and proper lubrication, using an extra jewel or a better mainspring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
