Pugwash

Beware greeks bringing gifts ...

Mrs Pugwash steals the following watches:

If we tell you, they're no longer precautions. It's like if we say "and to avoid customs, write chocolate watch on the docket", the cat is out of the bag and we can no longer tell people to put chocolate watch on the customs form. ps. Don't PM me for how to do it, just follow your common sense. There are no guidelines available.

Is that riverse psychology?

This doesn't make sense. Oh, and if the dealer is still selling or accepting money, we need to know who it is, regardless of what forum they're on.

I can't wait for this part of the trip. Bring on the beast! Oh, this girl managed a six-pounder: http://xo.typepad.com/blog/2005/01/images_of_the_c.html

Here's my cheap Asian Noobmariner: (Click for 1280 version)

It's fairly self-evident. If I can manage without any instructions, I'm sure anyone can. Removing the crown from the stem may prove tricky, but it will unscrew with a bit of force, but try not to mangle the threads or the works at the end. Oh, and you may need a tap to rethread the hole for the tube.

I built this out of parts yesterday: No wristshots yet, unless you count this one of the movement donor:

I'm not so sure ...

Typical overpriced crap. This looks like every other cookie-cutter GZ site.

I'm slowly learning about movements too. I can now pull hands, dials and understand how to strip and rebuild the keyless works on a 2836. I also know how the winding mechanism works, including the part about losing the spring that ratchets the winder. Oops. Well, that's one lesson. Anyone got a tiny v-shaped spring that holds the winder ratchet in a 2846 spare?

... and ... That should answer that one.

Buy now. This one isn't getting any better. Are you sure it's not just the movement that's Nickel plated?

Sure, if those limited Nikes and basketball gear count as bum-wear where you are. Let's be honest. Snoopy Snoopy Dog Dog isn't going to be hanging at a backyard BBQ without some serious entourage and bootay.

Ooh, good point. There's a three in the date. I'll have to get mine out today.

If your Sub isn't an MBW Vintage, don't remove the bezel. You can remove the insert by inserting a screwdriver between it and the crystal and prying gently. You will most likely damage the insert, but that's ok.

ARTE is in German and French.

Let's all bump this post by sharing our Tissots! Here's mine, with my Fiddy: ... and with my brother's Omega:

If you remove the hands with a screwdriver or a toothpick, you risk marking them. It can be done though. Then you'll need to remove the dial, but to be honest, if you don't know what you're looking for, it's very difficult to destroy your watch at this point. Your first research should be on how to remove a movement from a case. It's not that simple either. Search, search, search. This has all been discussed, with pictures, lots of times.

To whom are you campaigning? The company that makes these movements can't hear you and I doubt the counterfeit lobby is loud enough.

You're here. The job you're wanting to do (fix the datewheel without removing any hands) is impossible. The datewheel is under the dial and the dial is under the hands.

Even if I had a gen, there's no way on this planet I'd let anyone open it up unless they had a complete set of tools, some silicon grease, replacement seals and a water-resistance tester.

Arte is shown in several countries, like France and Germany. It's not shown in the UK, though.

If I ever go to Alaska, I go armed with all my camera kit. This beauty needs lots of photos for us modders.
