It is a hand for holding and broaching hands and if you don't need it then let me know, good score!

This was her second project, the first was a hand skeletonised movement in a fleiger case

plus cousins overseas postage is pretty expensive

a very easy job generally, My 10 year old daughter has built 2 like this and is thinking of here 3rd now

I see not reason why it should not fit, the Asian versions of this movement are very close in every dimension to the Swiss, my question is why would you want to make this swap?????

no not yet, i have a stem just not the time yet

Now this is a post i will be following, i wish i could add to it but dont see any faults. wow this could be cool, how ever if ytou want any dial blanks to test print to i have a couple here from CWCs i can clean off for you but i can look into new blanks if required

. I was having a similar problem on my 1680, all i did to solve it was champher the inside of the holes so that the spring bar could find it better and fully extend, By the way i have just cot some 1.3mm drill bits so if any one need lug holes drilling i would like to try them out, my are all drilled 1.5mm and that is a little larger but looks fine for a vintage look.

Nice one Jmb

I dont have any parts that may help you but the cousins generic tubes fit that crown

Nice work, i wish i had parts like that just sitting round.

And replyed

I think i have one, it is 19mm long, PM me your address and it will be on the way

cn you show a pic with some measurement or the movement it came out of and i will have a look what i have

Sander dont be disheartened by the lack of reply's, many people learned from what you show, If only you could quantify what i personal have learned and continue to learn from posts like this on RWG, 5 years ago i was made up when i made a new pearl for a crappy seadweller, last year i made my own regulator! What we prove day afterday is that what some would say is not possible is possible with time, knowledge, perseverance and a will to make some thing happen. So keep doing what you do, I will learn from it for sure! And i have attended horologial school recently! and you don't learn shit like that there!

Na my theory comes that if you dont have a birthday party with jelly and ice cream and a cake with candles then it is not a birthday any way

I used to be a child in the 70s but think i am managing to keep it going in to the present as well.

Thanks Luna, i was looking at repairthatwatch Ryaku has given me some tips as well http://motorcitywatchworks.com/parts.html http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/products/category/12257 But not in UK, i would be happy to find a supplier anywhere in the EU

I often think the same thing when i post something that i have spent a long time working on and i know that ziggy has felt the same way in the past, that he does not get any feedback on his posts and work, i think that some times people feel that it is a post out of there leauge as i certainly did with your dial post, the work making things like that is just above and beyond what many people can do and there for maybe feel that they have not comment to add. Very much the way i felt when i read the thread about thrying to bake titainium into tantlium color, i got my case out and got playing, posted my results but just seamed to have to chemistry teachers talking over my head and got no feed back so i put the watch back together and got back on with life, and i still love the color i got, just these damn rollys stop me wearing it!

I was looking for a UK or EU seller for eta hands on the bay but they are pretty tinin on the ground, i only found 1 in the EU, looking for rolex type hands for now but also others, does any one know of any others on there, the hands that cousins sell look crap, and Boley dont stock any as far as i can see.

I did it with a deepsea pearl and after a while built up a nice high round glass like covering, one coat let it just about dry and then add another, as it drys it gets thinner i think i had about 10 coats at least

Pearl looks great TJ, have you given it a coat of clear nail varnish to make it smooth and also to protect the lume

Well generally yes the eta has the chance of being reparable for many years and has a better beat but the A2iJ movements can be replaced for less than half the price of a service, in fact I just bought 2 for

Sunday For the last 3 weeks i have had the following watches that i do really like sat on the side lines 3717 superlumed blackbird with modded ocean racer (one of the most comfortable big watches i own) Modded IWC Ingy Schuhren Admiral Champagne dialed BCE (a true stunner) Pam Tantalium superlumed darkened polished ect Pam 36 Destro (but i would not wear that any way as it is my daughters) UN maxi diver and a few others that just dont make it on the wrist recently, am I ill or sickening from some thing

If you are going for one from Narikka then they are well worth the
