  1. You could Gran, but the ticking may be a little loud, many only have a seconds regulator dial rather then hours and min also as they oftern have more than one drive shaft to the dials.
  2. Correct Olly A turret clock In England there are whole society's dedicated to the restoration and creation of Turret clocks The newest and most modern having been created by smiths of derby and will be installed in Chine if it has not already been fitted. There is also one in creation for somewhere in the Arab world that may still be larger ( think 10 wide dials) the sort of thing that would even shock a fiddy wearer
  3. If you dont need it in a hurry and done mind sending it to germany i could do it for you but it would not be possible before April as i am away all of march
  4. I have not heard of any reliability issues with this one, have you?
  5. Mad i wouuld buy some of these if they were sensibly priced as i like the idea of non eta, but priced like that for an asian movement, even a very good one is just stupid
  6. I have moved this from Cheifs AR area to GD so it will actualy get seen, there is no need to also post in Vacs Mod shop as well FYI the term over wound is not realy some thing that means any thing. if you wound the watch to tight then the main spring or the stem would snap, the movement most likely needs a service but finding a watchsmith that will work on a rep is one thing finding one that will work on a rep tourbillion is another and what he would charge is again a major factor, It is not very oftern that i would say that something cant be repaired (an even in this case it could be if:- A you find a watch smith that will work on reps B you find one that has experience on a tourbilion C his price is less than the cost of a new watch D, he can get any spares thhat may be needed.) Personaly in this case i would look for a new watch PS it is not a good idea to put your email address on the open internet
  7. Nice review, infact it feels a bit like the old days when we had lots of reviews. You did a good job of this, with nice honest description of a good watch. If those hands do disturb you you can always get them relumed
  8. I think the vintage rolex is a sickness worse than pams so do that get an MBW 1680, 1665, 5512/3 and start modding
  9. Well if you dont wear it what is the point in keping it unless it is a piece that would be a good investment to keep for the future, and i dont really think a Tag 4000 is a great piece to save for the future.
  10. One of the nicest watches EVER.
  11. have you looked here http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=35_66&sort=20a&page=6
  12. A holder for any 2836 or 2824 will fit
  13. My first brand new unmodded rep in years. It is not too bad. A new DW and stronger AR would make it better out of the box it gets a thumbs up from me
  14. Listen i dont care what they write on the web page, they could write it is made from compressed moon dust but it wont be and that watch is a 44mm panerai,
  15. That shocked me also freddy, and the lollypop seconds hand where is this rep from??
  16. Sneed don't worry about what RWG mod team care about.
  17. There is a phrase in some ones sig here though Something about sticking to gens as you will never be happy with reps
