  1. Just read this I have to admit i propper LOL reading this
  2. You can always brush then and then gold plate them
  3. I am sure he will be missed. He made a lot of custom seiko possible
  4. Well if it is set up properly the two balances will sync with each other and in theory half any error same as the rare double pendulum clocks But I bet that setup is a pig to get right and I don't think many hobbyist will be playing with it. Not that Cheri either I don't think.
  5. But possible, I am looking into the lug drilling with diamonds to start the holes off, just looking for some cases to try it on, I have a movement holder that will fit with a bit of adjustment depending on the movement you want to use, but it not an easy straight forward job for sure
  6. The service should not be more than €150 and the winding bridge if the screw cant be got out costs €17.80 trade - tax post ect, parts are available so any good watch smith should be able to do this
  7. Stock i would say also Shaving crown gards inside and out fade the just a little and ad an ofrie pearl Drilling 2mm lugholes, bracelet and endlinks to fit gen 2mm springbars Vintage lume the dial and hands, just yellow them a little more ivory Putt in a gen crown and tube Remove the paint from casback and polish it a bit HE valve mods Clarks t39 crystal if you cant get the gen t39 Slow beat non hacking movement and a silver date wheel overlay
  8. Tom stop it ok Just stop it! Stolikat just dont rise to it.
  9. I would say that you want a WM9 v2 ,case get the lugs drilled (you will find this part hard and no one likes doing it) and a movement holder made to hold the movement to the dial, the holder also need to have a recess for the dial to sit in to hold it central (i had a month long battle trying to get it all to sit straight before i had a new holder made up) Unless you are using a gen movement the hands wont fit, i would say clarks if you are using an ETA movement.
  10. Don't worry we are all noobs to someone welcome to RWG
  11. A great watch that i am sure you will enjoy
  12. I can ask, if i do and they supply are you going to buy it, last set was €50
  13. Both can be reliable and serviced, best would be the swiss but more value for money would be the asian 2836
  14. I managed to get a gen crown and tube last time a member asked about this problem, i think in the end Nicky6 bought it
  15. Nice, a bit bright for me thats why i have the white one up for sale, but nice still
  16. Well members of rep forums should not post the photo but they do some times, did i ever send you that click spring Olli???
  17. Of cause they are aware, many are proberbly members here or geeks or what ever the other forums are called,
  18. the clip folds over the bearing and then the ends clip in under the grove on the other side, make sure that the cap jewel has the domed side out ward and that the whole thing is spotless clean, also you should put a small dab of mobius 9010 in the center inside of the cap jewel
  19. it has got to have fallen out of the regulator side of the balance cock the incablock spring may still be fitted
  20. Yep, imagine taking one of the main crank bearings out of your car engine, how do you rhink it will run, have you still got the thing apart?
  21. That is the shock absorber jewel,one sits either end of the balance staff, there must be a small brass clip somewhere too
  22. Does the jewel have a hole in it or is it a flat jewel
