Well I thought I had a easy project on my hands the watch needs a new movment an ETA 251.272. So I look on Ofrei and find that there are 3 different date placments availbe for this movment and I'm unsure which one I need. Here is the watch in question...the date is between 4 and 5 And my choces for movments are: Date at 3 Date at 4 Date at 4 slant Could you tell me which is the corect date orintation for this watch? Thanks, Seagoing3

Hi I picked this up at a goodwill store for a few bucks and was wondering if you guys could tell me anything about it. Is it a decent one any idea what factory it may have come from or anything about it not sure what I'm going to do with it. Or if it's even a decent start to anything cooler that a wire EXP II. Thanks

thanks is there any way to remove a link form the 6 o'clock side of the bracelet so I can center the clasp a bit better? also after wearing my newer sub and SD SEL bracelets it was surprising how light and thin the old folded link style bracelet is thanks for the help.

Well I finally got the folded link oyster bracelet foe my Monte Carlo thanks agin to Zig an the other who helped out here are some iPhone pics

Sub for me today

After many months of finding a donor watch for the 7734 and acquiring all the parts the Project watch return home from the Spa today freshly overhauled, and vintage lume added. Here are a few pics for now its on strap while I search for what is the proper bracelet and go about acquiring one. Again thanks to the community for your input on this one.

My two the MC arrived today Got this one today

Well my multi year long project has completed and was shipped to my Father today in time to arrive for his 70th birthday. I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to those kind members who helped and guided me thru my first build. I wont list list them all here in case they prefer to remain under the radar. Thank you all. So this started many years ago when I worked with a Gentleman who builds beautiful watches. I picked up a Gen case from a 16200 DJ and had planned on building a standard date just with the Gen dial that came with the case. I being more of the Rolex sport watch nut never really got energized to build the date just. So this fall I set out to finally build this watch but as an Explorer I. I found my way back to your forum and statred asking a few questions and next thing you know I had parts coming in from some kind members with extra parts and some from the usually sources. Armed with all the parts and new knowledge I had acquired and some borrowed tools I pieced it together. Here is the list of parts that make up this build: Gen 16200 DJ case with cyclops removed Gen Crown ETA 2824 moment Stilty spacer ring rep dial hands from Clark Bracelet from Mary and some replacement ETA stems from a member when i had screwed up the original one. Here is the original thread http://www.rwg.cc/to...case-need-help/ And the much needed pictures sorry for the Iphone quality pics a few more can be seen here http://s115.photobuc...oing3/Explorer/ Thanks
