Pugwash

Ah, I seenk you are meest-heh-keeng moi pour un Frenchman, non?

They're not marbles! Marbles are spherical!

There are a lot of pics of it on My Gallery.

Just look at photos of the gen. It'll look exactly like that. All I need after that is a genuine 7750 ... oh, hang on, this is a pristine serviced-by-The Zigmeister movement. I don't need no stinkin' ETA!

Add me to the slavering hordes. I'd love to put gen parts on a cheap CN Sub.

This package is off to Canada on Monday: We will finally get to see for sure if this is a viable upgrade. All we'd need after this is the hands luming and we have a 100% dead-on FrankenGST.

As these are standard Horology terms, Google is your best bet. I just found this one: http://www.fhs.ch/en/glossary.php and this one: http://www.time4watches.com/watch%20terms.htm and this one: http://www.thewatchguy.homestead.com/pages/GLOSSARY.html No need to duplicate effort.

Sure. RBW: Replica Bulb World. Did you get here from RWG? If so, we're running an RWG skin for you.

This is an example of "Wait for the pictures". Whatever it's pictured with, it's best not to try to change it. If you don't all get the same watch, it's not a group buy.

I'm considering a project. I don't know what, but it looks like a lot of fun. Currently, I'm happy to send my watches off to other people, but one day I have to learn to fly on my own, I suspect.

For the archives, here's a diagram:

It makes the baby jesus cry. When I moved the lever, it sent the watch into an unreliable frenzy. It sometimes stopped, ran ±20m a day, and was basically useless as a timepiece unless you set it several times a day. After that, it had an enjoyable trip to Canada whereby it was fettled by Master The Zigmeister. I'd run accuracy tests for you, but it's packed up ready to go back to Canada with a new dial ...

By the way, I'm interested in those bulb boxes. Can you flat-pack them for safety?

Did you see how that worked?

I can tell you're a lawyer: you take a silly, supposed-to-be-funny-but-not-really comment like that and hang someone over it.

He has a different nickel movement to the one he was expecting. He doesn't have a brassy one.

Why are you calling it "The Bitter Truth About Asia Replicas" then? It sounds like you're now changing your opinion when your old one was uniformly slammed as being rather silly.

Three Rolexes, a Panerai (with display back!), an IWC and a few Omegas. It must be a technique thing. However, I'm in Thailand in a month or so and will be getting a sticky ball or two.

Like a lot of things, even if it's a crappy replica watch, the people making it can't afford to buy one.

No-one deserves to be scammed.

How much does a colombian peasant farmer sell his cocaine for?

Sorry, that's eBay to you non-geeks.

I use these: The one on the right was from Precious Time, the one in the middle was part of a kit from Narikaa and the one on the left was from tehBay. The one on the right opens most backs, but if not, the one on the left will get it.

Watchmaker. You're not going to get it back in unless you take the dial off and fix the keyless works.
