Gen is auto omega 552

Locktite thread lock is fine for the stem. If you have a tube that is a bit loose to the case then you want a two part epoxy

Does this new version have a bi directional bezel?

Go and read the rules Grail

Ok why? I know it is your watch but The 1680 came only with a black bezel insert A modern sub would be better as that came as a Kermit in the LV

Tasty looking watch you have there

Many watch makers may not have come across an Asian 2824 so may not recognize it as such (some Asians are stamped a Swiss ) if the watch is a keeper then I say pay for the repair as then you know it will be in good order for a good while

I would say that your great wheel is broken of for that matter any of the other wheels in the train It can be fixed if you have the skill and the correct spare

All I want is a titainium bracelet for my 089

I have been wearing this continually since I got it in may, it is now nearly the end of November Not since I started collecting watches have I worn one watch for so long

A good solution to an age old problem

Not a fan of modern subs but that looks stunning!!!

Thanks for that Bob I think I may have found one on the bay just waiting for the ok

Thanks guys One to think about I asked hirsch as it was for a father and son pair of watches so I wanted both the same, the son has a hirsch liberty that cost €35 to get hirsch to make one 20mm longer they wanted 3 months and €135!!

Who knows of a supplier of extra long straps?

No the problem is the friction with moving the seconds to 6 from 9 on the 7750 so when the seconds at 6 stops so does the watch, I have heard that the newer versions are more reliable but I can't confirm this

Good find

We will remember them!

Seriously that is good work for a first time

They grow not old as we that are left grow old Age shall no weary them Nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun, and in the morning We will remember them

Here is a gen for comparison Just look at the difference in the hands

GMT Not g&t

What concerns me is the description, 7750 or 2813? Sapphire front and back, but it has a solid case back What faults are people seeing here, date wheel looks recessed and faint but that could be the light in the photos Lume on the hands look too thin, lume looks different colors between dial and hands, I would say the G&T hand is too short as well

I think he is

I love the black date wheel Tc I need to save up for one of these
