  1. I may have a 7750 that you can take the parts from if you want
  2. I am pretty sure that the balance cock from a swiss will not fit but depending on the balance spring attachement you may be able to use the balance and spring, the pinion should fit
  3. I would not say for sure untill I has seen the engravings between the lugs and the bezel construction and also know what movement is fitted
  4. It looks like an mbw standard pearl but the crown guards look too small for mbw in your pic A gen crown would be the second mod right after the pearl if it was me
  5. yep first time i did it i had to tap a razor blade in all the way round firsat before a case knife would start to work
  6. A good case knike between the bezel and case
  7. Switzerland with little white gloves, anal employees with tons of experience and centuries of passed down knowledge If you ever go to Biel you will be supprised how many migrant people there are wandering round that town. Switzerland has to import watchsmith from all over just to fill the demand admitedly only the best get to work for the big names but i do not think that the ETA factory is full of old swiss gentlmen tinkering away i belive the answer is like any large industry. The chinese are getting close to the quality that we get from switzerland it is just the QC that we get in reps where the failing comes to play. Buy official marketed asain 2824/ ST16/ST18 and i have been impressed with what i got, particualy when it costs 1/4 of the price Oh and ETA used to make movements in China ect, so there are a ot of ETA trained watchsmiths over there as well.
  8. I could answer your questions but they are so wide ranging that it would take me a week It is along the lines of what is a better car Hyundai or BMW and should I go for diesel or electric or hybrid
  9. I thought spin had gone awol??
  10. I would sujest the screw is in there some where!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. Have a look in my sig where I drilled an plugged the the case to make it look like a he valve
  12. My tip is Unless you are into it make sure the person about to give you a BJ is actualy female (not speaking from experience just what i heard)
  13. What would you do if it was a gen? Buy a new one! They are just signs of life my watches rep and gen get scuffed and dinged just like my hands get spanner rash in the garage
  14. iPhone4 and iOS 6 no problems using the upload to forum option A gen I tried on the other day. Absolutely stunning watch with a proper name Heuer!!!!
  15. You would need different hands @ op. I have bought a couple of what cousins advertise as 4813s and there were 21600 not 28800s I think I still have one in my box I am also in Germany if you need any help with the swap
  16. I can pin this and i think i will, we can see there that these is with out doupt at least 3 versions of the 3135 Rolex Y3135 A3135 and it does not look like many parts are compatible I wish some one could send these to Ziggy so we could hear his expert oppinion
  17. you dont order yet we all wait, we dont rush things we just wait until HH is ready and then we follow what he says when he is ready,
  18. If it is in the EU then it should not be liable for import taxes, but be aware that there are certain special areas with in the EU that have different taxes and if you import from these areas you may get stung Areas of concern would be Channel Islands Gran Canaria Part of Shannon Airport in Ireland and i am sure there are a few more. Get in touch with this site, the Guys name is Rob he will be able to advise more. http://www.qualitytime.uk.com/
  19. the movement is a good one, the copy of the venus handwind made by seagull is very good
  20. About 3 or 4 years ago we started seeing the asian 2836 not months!
  21. I love snow but I don't want any this year until my house is ready
