back on oyster

Every day the work carried out here astounds me! Another top watch UBI

Good work mate

I would like to point out that much of rolexes finishing is done by computer controlled robots (there is even a film some where on the web) and Patek by hand, but that is not an excuse for sloppy work , but fcuk me 68 weeks?????????????????

I would leave it as it is, paint will flake and the chance of getting a black date wheel for an OS movement (that i think it is) and getting it fitted for less than a 7750 rep may be hard. find out if it clicks with you if you like it or love it and then depending on the feeling get an auto rep or if it is true love then the gen, go to an AD and try the gen on (leave the rep at home) you will love it!

is that the new trusty one?

quartz chronos can be centered by pulling the crown to either the date or time set position (different on different movements) and pressing one of the pushes to move and recenter the chrono hands, one button in one pos will move the min and the other the hour subdial, and in the other crown position one button with move the main seconds hand. Have a play

68 Fcuking weeks

Not just the purchase but the whole experience My first year here was a bit of a learning curve and a lot of bewilderment but this place became home for me. One of the main things about RWG is community, we really have one of the best wrist watch horological sites in the world here, we have experts in almost every marque that really do know what they are talking about not just pimps for one factory. You may have noted that the who has the best sub question comes up a lot and is a bit of a running joke Keep posting and keep reading you will soon find your feet

I think these should be 28800.

An echo of every ones feelings, shock at your loss and relief that you are all ok, I am sure if we can help out we will, just ask.

Spend some time here do some reading and you will soon know all you need, welcome to RWG

Exactly that

Until recently i have always removed stems in the winding position but after a few problems on 2836s i have stated to do it in the hand set positions and that has really helped not had a problems since.

Here you go sorry about the dirt but i have been wearing this one a bit. Fully extended fully shortened Closed

Guys i am flattered but i would not say i am an expert on IWC just a bit of a Fan I would say Andreww for Breitlings also i think you may need a sub category for pam and rolex of vintage and modern

That is my understanding also in relation to sizes however there are differences if you look in the tech sheets attached you will see that the 1128 is basically a 2892 with a gmt modual on top and the 2893 is a GMT movement as a whole, hand sizes and the rest of the dimensions are the same and they should be a direct swap omega 1128.pdf 2893 gmt.pdf

Another possible cause i have had in the past are loose movement retaining screws as they sit in the path of the rotor so if one is loose it will be stopping the rotation, what watch and movement is it, can you post a decent photo of the movement?

Yep what do you want for it

I bet silix is about to sell a few of these now

I just had to blind my self after looking at that you barstool

You may be able to find one cheeper than ebay get in touch with Rob here a mate of mine tell him Andy told you.
