  1. Well not just military taste this one has seen service with me in many places Indian army issue, and one of the first mechanicals in my collection Gone but not forgotten Timing military meteorlogical launches A commander from Schuhren and an Observer you could also count my panerais and IWC 3717 and this issued one (modded relumed hands) I have proberbly had a few more, but the best is to come but thats a secret!
  2. who was this? i would avoid that guy in the future
  3. Just looked at my supplier and the only come in white, but it would have been cool
  4. I am sure he sees it all the time and looks on with dread when a customer pulls out a loupe, I wish you had been there the next day.
  5. I am looking forward to seeing this completed, i wonder is you could get black back ground day and date wheels for that movement???
  6. It may be that the watch just does not have enough tourqe to start uop with the stop watch running, have you stopped and reset the stop watch function and worn it a bit to get the wound a bit, i would not recomenend hand winding 7750s,m better to just wear them to let the wind with the auto mechanism. if you need help with auto winding i recomend wearing the watch and visit your favorate porn site
  7. There were photos and bill boards of this vintage range all over Bazel this year, but i have yet to see one in the shops, personaly i love it, and the chrono version
  8. got to agree with the rest here not a great design in my oppinion
  9. That is nice and small Ubi, very 60s/70s.
  10. The seagul 6498s and 7s i have had a lot of time to play with i have found to be every bit as good as a unitas, if ct out of the box i generaly find them better regulated from the factory than swiss. when it comes to 7750s i only have a bit of experience but the swiss go back together easyer, most parts fall/fitt in to the right location the asian dont seam to have this ability they need to be coaxed back together.
  11. I cant see much wrong with the watch but as you say his story has holes in it, maybe he is just trying to push the price up with the history and box
  12. I am going for gen but with a question, is that a service replacement dial?
  13. Going paintballing, so i think some sapphire is called for
  14. Why do you keep dooing this to me Freddy Stunning where do you find these?
  15. How about this Give power to the correct shaped an placed quartz crystal and it will vibrate at 32,768 Hz, the IC (Integrated circut) counts the vibrations and every 32,768 Hz turns the power on and off, that makes the motor turn a half turn and the second hand step forward one second. General quartz movement s have steps of 1 second but many watches that do not have a second hand (mainly Ladys watches) have 6 or 20 second steps, this saves a lot of power and extends battery life. So all it is is a switch that turns the power off and on making the motor turn, simple as that.
  16. +1 on this post and all the rest, you have help so many members including my self it is nice see! I think we all should thank wolf for paying a little back from us all
  17. It may be worth you putting a lin in your signature that you have these, i for one will need one at some point and by then i will have forgotton that you have them and would not know who to ask.
