I'm thinking about buying another sub- I've not seen the serial number yet- but was told it's around an 8MM- It's got a sapphire crystal, but is not a 16610. It's got a regular 16610 dial. I don't have service history, but is is safe to bet that it's just a late model 1680 that was serviced and had a new dial and crystal? This should be a 3035 if it's a 16800, right?

I'm pretty sure I've got some in my parts drawer. Will take a look and see.

also- for those that don't know- Kurt is THE BEST. Deal with complete confidence.

couldn't send Pm- do you still have my email? I'd like to work something out on the daytona.

Looking for a nice rep bracelet. My case is an 'E' serial- looking for jubilee only. PM me if you've got something!

in 2004 I had two watches delivered in the same package- shipped to me via UPS. The driver left a package with 2 gen watches (around $6k value) sitting on my front porch. Thank god it was there when I got home, but after that- I would never use UPS to ship.

I'm finally getting around to building a TT datejust franken. I need a few parts to complete the movement. I'm using a 2892, but need:

CP h.3

HW h.3

4th Wheel h.3

2834-2 date disc

and- I think I also need 2834-2 case clamps and screws- this is the parts list that Stilty recommended too complete the project.

Does anybody have some of these, or all of these parts in the 'ol parts box? PP ready!

update: Ella got to come home this week! She's had a couple of surgical things done- skin grafts over 90% of her back, but she's home. Long road ahead as we recover. Thanks for so many well wishes and prayers. It means a lot.

My girls- this is Ella and her sister- just a few weeks ago.

so very thankful for the well wishes and prayers. I personally have a deep faith in my God and am resting in His faithfulness to me.

Spent the night last nigth with my three other kids- all were hurting for their sister. Rough night for Ella, very high temp, over 104 most of the night, long night for my wife at the hospital. Will update as new information is available.

thannk you.

If you do; please pray for my daughter. Ella is a beautiful 7 month old and was admitted to the hospital with 3rd degree burns over 22% of her body. She's in a lot of pain. Expected to live, but it's going to be several weeks in the hospital.

just purchased a gen 93150 bracelet for my sub, but it didn't come with end pieces. Does anybody have a set? Rep is fine- just want to get this bracelet on asap!!

wow, Kurt- that really sucks. And- the package I sent to you should have been there by now. Keep an eye out for a postal employee sporting a new (vintage) universal chrono! I didn't insure that package . . . fyi- I hit you w/ a PM.

true- thought about that.

I miss jetmid and TRL. ah, memories.

I'm the high bidder on a sub bracelet- it's fairly low priced right now- If you happen to see it- please consider PMing me- It's potentially a good deal- but there's no reason to bid up against another member.

have a completed 1680 head and now i need a bracelet. Does anybody have one to sell? Hollow link only. Posted also in WTB section- that forum doesn't seem to get as much traffic, so also posted here.

Thanks!

I'm joining the vintage club. Haven't received it yet- but needless to say- I can't wait! The modder did an amazing job- I think the CG's look really good. Rundown on parts: MBW case-set, Yuki insert with genuine pearl, genuine crown, genuine tropic. Dial is a singer, hands are standard rep and the spring bars are gen. Powered by a slow beat ETA.

I'm trolling for an MBW hollow link bracelet and have a gen clasp to complete the watch. The work was done by one of our own- I think he's done amazing work. I could not be happier.

Parts came from a couple of members- Polex Pete and Too Much Gear- thanks guys for helping to put this together. I'm thinking that I need to age the second hand- the dial and hour hands are perfectly matched- any ideas on how to age the second hand slightly?

ok- here's the pics.

my next task was to find a genuine not so expensive red dial.

I found that dial but I have to do some work on it, repainting the indices takes alot of work, i'm like halfway

inexpensive gen red dial??? Didn't know they existed!

no luck yet w/ local guys- no luck w/ forum modders- anybody still modding? Prefer US based.

I need a 1680 put together- I've got all (or most) of the parts. I PM'd The Zigmeister, but is there anybody else in the CONUS that is able to assemble the watch?

sorry- ETA 2846 slow beat.

second hand that is: I've got a hand set for my 1680 project, but missing the second hand. Anybody out there that can help a brother out?

with no click, correct?

Does anybody have a hand set for an ETA 2846?

Also- does anybody have a rep hollow mid link 93315? I've got an MBW hollow 93250 to trade

sorry to ask such a simple question, but what does the bezel on this model do? uni directional? single? click?

nice piece- good luck w/ the sale.
