Thinking of you and your family Cats. Stay strong and positive!!!!!!!!!!

I would sujest your problem is with the transfer gear that sits between the canon pin wheel and the date change wheel.

Happy belated Birthday T

Nice find Red

Welcome to RWG, hope to see more of you posting now you realise what we have here

Thanks for the comparison, there are quite a lot of big detail differences there!

Well i ordered the partsd and what i got were 3 position ones, i am going to look into another source now

I answered this one a while ago on a thread from narkortheblue it was not as simple to find as on something like an eta or standard a21j calibre bit I added photos to the post to point put the stem release

Looking good. I keep getting tempted by these

Cats I really hope that all goes well and we can enjoy a beer again soon. Our thoughts are with you and if I say a prayer you will be in it. Stay strong Stay positive Stay happy!

is the lume color from the stuff i sent?? Looks good!

Nice looking straps there, do you work with leather as a job or just a hobby?

Don't know but bk sells the best sub

Thanks frank we are looking into it

Personally I think the best way is just wear it. In the garden in the garage and don't baby it that way it will pick up real age quickly have a good look about on vintage rolex forum. Most of those are still in great condition even after 40 years there is no need to trash it just to make it age.

but what was the answer

how is the lume and does this have the roler CG lever?

Welcome to RWG Jeff

Nice looking Pam there

stunning, is there a new batch of these dial???? I have not sean FGD on the forums for a while can some one pm me some contact details please

I am not aware or a rep of this in quartz, but i do think it should have a black date wheel

Not sure about the keeper bit it does not talk to me like the rolly 1680 does

Nothing great here just normal rep parts, unlike some of the top builds we have seen here But any way the story of this one. I bought an aged vintage case from a member here and i have to say it was AGED! a bit to much for me so i went about refinishing and refreshing it a bit, i tried to keep some of the dings but to add some polish to it and some brushing and i think i have come out the end with a pretty decent looking reliable watch. So the case dial and hands came with out a crowm, movement, crystal or movement holder or tabs and just sat about untill i got round to working in it, last night i machined up a movement holder in massive form, not just a simple ring but from dial back to case back so that when the case back goes on it is one almost solid constuction. I added a serviced 2836 (a story in its self with the keyles works) into the mix and put the whole thing together, the observant may notice a small kink in the min hand but only reraly visible wen the light catches it and for a 40 year old watch not an issue for me. Fit a sternkreutz crystal and slap it on a new nato with nice thick spring bars and away you go. It passes a 3 ATM water resistance test and keeps good time on the vibrograph, it may be tempting to build a more orginal one of these some day. And the lume is not bad for standard rep lume Thanks for reading

I had never heard ofSt Mathuews Island before tonight but it has an interesting tale to tell, sort of makes you think at the end!

One of the best methods of winding a watch is in the VIP area a thread called girls girls girls or any good porn fest for that matter
