Nice watch you made ther mate

The iwc straps must be one of the easiest to change all you need if you don't have the tool set are two tooth picks Press down on the plunger inside the lugs on the case of the watch whils pressing out the strap retianer bar with the other tooth pic Note you may need something a little stronger than a tooth pick to press the bar out of the Kevlar strap if I remember rightly mine was very stiff

Rolex makes lots of models which one is it you are after?

Good work Pete That may be a way to fit a thinner movement in a sub case, now what has a higher stem height that a 2824???? and unfortunatly a 2892 has the same stem height

I found that chopping wood can cause a unitas to overbank, golf is supposed to be not great for mecanical movements but it is a stuupid game any way

It depends on which st19 movement they are useing, you get differen varients (the ST 19 is the movement in these new daytonas and the old moon watch reps and loads of others, the good news it is a fantastic movement) 12 hour constant running @6 24 hour constant running @6 No counter at 6 power reserve @6 but there is no seagul ST19 with a chrono 12 hour counter @6, which is shame as it would be a bonus!!

I think you will need an MBW

I have a tupperware box loaded with silica gell packs so if i ever have a damp one the back comes off and it goes in there for a week before i do any thing to it.

One point to add here that you will want to think about, dont get the watch too warm, Jewels in the watches are held by a substance called schelac with is a resin that gets soft when it gets too warm. if it gets too warm the jewels can move and then you are fcuked some one once posted about a watch that was dried with a hair drier that startede out as a 25 jewel and ended up with a lot less!

well they wanted €150 for the INGY soft strap

Nope not on this site, your oppinion is welcome, and you dont get banned for voicing it, and how do you know whos name Nanuq is looking at??????????

I think a bund strap would look good

Must be great to see that Bob but may be not so nice in the long dark winter

Good luck with your study's and no Mater what status a quality member is still a quality member.

Well the good news if that is the dealer wont sort the problem (which he should) a movement swap is not that difficult or expencive

Have a look at www.bhi.co.uk and go to the find a repairer tab and look under your area. The members are very good and have to sign up to a code of practice, I would 100% trust any of them. you might find a repaier in your area who just does clocks but there will be some one not far

Pool Party at TJs

a link or picture would be helpfull

For less than that you can have Jacob straps make one to order for you

I have tried the gen and i liked it apart from the fact that as a diver it is just too blingy

Nope the 2 is hibeat and the 1 is slow, you can get some realy nicley decorated 1s And to continue with I would like to confirm that you cant just fit the hibeat balance (as suspected) it runs great but you will have a day only 16hrs long

It may be woth taking the other screw out and going to an optitions or and electronics workshop and seeing if they have one, I have a box of small screws in tha garage that i have found the right thread in and then just had to turn the head down to fit on the lathe and cut it to size

I have got about 4 spare as i ordered too many, pm me if you need one

you will also need a longer GMT wheel
