  1. or the other way round, date at 4 and crown at 3 using an ETA with a black date wheel ??????????? I am stumped, i can get a white date wheel but not a black any one know of one????
  2. you can get a date wheel with numbers printed for 6 no problem, but knowing the chinese they will make it totaly different so a standared ETA wheel wont fit
  3. There is the seagull version of the 2982 and when clean is a VERY good movement, The 2894 modual (accoring to my mentor) is not very oftern serviced out of the factory due to its internal complexity, the chrono modual alone is over €350 retail, the normal date position is 5 o'clock but could easily be at 6 if you are not using the hours totaliser When i look at the photo above it looks to me like the modual fitted here is larger than the movement its self (not the case on the 2894 according to ETAs drawings) so it may well be that the chinese have made a modual with similar functions if that is the case only time will tell of its quality The 2894 can be bought retail for about €500 but if you buy in bulk you could half that price at least. What this all means???? untill one is taken apart we wont know but if you look closely the movement above with the modual fitted is a 2890A2???? although the base plate from a 2890 is the same as a 2892/4 as far as i know.
  4. I was just going throuch my camera flash card looking at photos from this summer and i found this film i took of my 1680 white with a slow beat 2846 hacking movement fitted and then there is this one, it contains an important message to you all!
  5. newly refurbished Ingy with AR by Caruwe and a rebrushed and polished case by me, hand made aligator strap by Ramires spain. I had put this watch through the mincer for a year or so particualy 4 months in canada working out on the prairie so it is nice to see it restored a little, It has been under water many times Left in the snow to the top of mountains Out at sea And it goes great with a martini And today back on my wrist looking stunning

  16. I think it will be a nice project, from what i see the actual clock build would take an hour, the time you need to spend is in the finishing and that could be weeks to get it looking right, as with any thing though the details show the love
