oh.... yo man! welcome aboard! I'm quite new myself, though i met up with some of the guys.

Love the wild ones. Looks great!

Thanks CF!

just a quick side track, when's the next run chief? I have a crystal waiting for you

some coffee helps with the jittery hands I can't do movements for nuts though, no knowledge + trembling hands = screwed movement.

Many thanks for the compliments! The custom dials are nothing compared to those that you see in the forums, but i must say that trying to make those did give me a lot of enjoyment. Best part about it is that you can try make them with very little cost. I'll definitely join in the gatherings as much as i can. It's been fun

Stunning. The contrast of the bony croc and the DLC is perfect.

I had a great time guys! Thanks again!

I'm in.

should be able to make it on 25th. pending any violent objections from my other half....

Thank you all guys. I'll try to fit as many of my watches in. hahahaha....

Thanks Repfreak! lemme know about the 6498s ya?

Thanks man!

Can't join in for this gtg as i'm going to have my wedding pictures taken on Wed. You guys have fun!

I would say this looks like it belongs at the bottom of the sea. It'll look pretty extreme with an equally beat up case. Love to see the final result.

umm... Samurai to me is like a watch store. Man, the number of watches that he buys and sometimes sell each week. And mwee, you have got some really cool parts. (check out the gen BP parts!) I'm interested to see the new lume powders that you guys are getting or using. I am only using nocti, so anything new is always welcome. Looking forward to see all your collections and learning from everyone as well. Cheers

@repfreak: glad you had fun maybe you can bring it to the GTG so we can see what you have done to it Location-wise, i'm open to all suggestions.

Hi guys, hope you don't mind me joining in the party. Looking forward to meet up. Hi there repfreak, how did the chopard work out?

Love the 90 sssurfer!

Hi guys, I read that molnija movements can be used as a straight drop in replacement for the 6497. I see lots of molnija pockets watches on Ebay, both new and old. How would i know if the movements in these pocket watches can be used? Any movement numbers or all the molnija movements can be used?

guess it's confirmed then. Thanks ubi

Hi guys, i recently bought a 6497 for a project, but the crown stem doesn't insert fully into the movement or doesn't engage the movement. I am told that the crown stem is broken. Any second opinions? Help is very much appreciated. Thanks http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp102/fooc2/IMG_1530.jpg http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp102/fooc2/IMG_1532.jpg

if it's on the 16th, I'm good for it.

Great. I'm interested, but I'm stuck in japan until 2nd week of august. Will check back to see if i can join you guys

Hi guys, need your help. I'm trying to mod the cannon pin of an Asian 6497. I've gone through the cannon pin mod tutorials and managed to get to the actual removal of the cannon pin. How do i remove the cannon pin? I have a presto style hand remover and it doesn't remove the cannon pin. The area for the remover to grip is too small and the hand remover doesn't fit under the cannon pin gears due to size. Help?
