Uh oh!

From everything I've read on four watch forums, cheap winders are a waste of money. They almost never last and are almost always noisy.

Looks very interesting...... I'll probably have to give it a try when they get in stock.

I thought the 2846 was a non hack movement. I only have one of them, but it's non hacking.

Clark Tropic 39 on the left. Note: holes drilled to accept gen spring bars.

It's amazing how far off the lume is centered on some of the dots. And we complain so much about so much less than that on our reps.

Damn Eric, you sure you aren't opening a factory down there? They look sweet.

Now that you have our interest piqued, open it up and let's see it. My guess is it's Eta.

I have one of those that was given to me by a friend who's father was a watchmaker. Can't wait to see the pictorial. Do a pictorial about making Eta hands fit a Molnia movement........Please!

What are you going to tell them, that you bought an illegal watch? Replica watches and PP disputes aren't a good thing, in my opinion. Sometimes it's better just to write it off and move on. But in the end, It's up to you.

Try BK. I just sold him 3 of those tubes about a month ago. He may have one left.

David Wong is the guy to go to. Either him or SpinMaster. The other choice is Phong @ Jewelry and Watch but his are a lot more expensive. DW will built it for you.

The early Rolex bracelets were a true masterful piece of engineering. They are the lightest, most comfortable tool watch bracelets made, yet they are strong enough to last decades. See, it all depends on how you look at things.

I agree with Demsey, but I'll go ahead and embarrass myself anyway.

Since one dial is .2mm larger, that would account for the appearance of a smaller second hand. Do you still have the watch? It's a beauty.

All right, the only thing I see is a slight difference in the length of the second hand from your first picture. On the first picture the CGs look a little smaller. Seems still within Rolex's rather wide tolerances though. Also the crown looks a little larger, another item than can often be changed at the RSC when being serviced. I think the cyclops is OK. Just the picture makes it look funny. So when you gonna tell us?

Here's (another) gen to compare it to.

If it's guessing game, I'll guess genuine. If it's a rep please tell me where to get one.

Something that might be of interesst to vintage Rollie fans. He has several others for sale, also. vintage 1665 SuperDome crystals

Jeweler and Rolex authorized distributor. Currently in Bankruptcy though I think.

I put a Sea Dweller bracelet on mine, although I didn't think the Noob Bracelet was bad, other than the sharp edges.

I sent my Ebel off for the same problem and the watchmaker said it was a dirty, sticky reversing gear (or something like that). He fixed it for free and sent it back. Said it's a common problem with the A7750. Obviously it didn't take much time to fix.

I'm glad you posted this Freddy. I was always under the impression that once the winding gears were removed it was exactly the same as a 7760 movement, which was built to be manual wind. Isn't that correct?

Those Chinese rep makers sure are clever. I agree. A total waste of money. Should be about $5 more.
