It is chinese, based in the (cousins reference) 2650sm from the Hang zou factory i think, if you show me the dial lay out i can find the actual one

Here is a gen top hat 127 crystal on an MBW white for comparison Pic and watch curtesy of cats

BIG GAY BANG

Just press it out from the back but it helps to have a crystal press too get it back in flat, and check the retaining gasket if it has been pressed in at an angle then the gasket could be deformed

Adz most sporty reps and non chronos can be made water resistant with a bit of QC there is no reason that these can not pass a 5atm check once the orings are confirmed to be there, greased and the case back and crystal are fitted correctly

I have noticed that the new $98 1680 have a pretty strong magnification but never nooticed the difference in gen and clarks this is a clarks i know Cats has a gen crystal installed on his MBW so maybe he could add a photo

Almost any one with a pantagraph could do that but it is havving the right font to do it in is the problem.

whats the price, he is not a dealer here, is he not a stateside dealer?

I still like it was a watch, who is selling it

so are you saying that is the rep Pete, if so what is wrong with it?

If that pictured above is a rep i am buying one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try DWs section And i will move this from Panerai to rolex sub forum for youy

Could just be that the gmt hand has lifted a bit or the gear that is pressed ontop of the date corrector is loose or come off, i had one like this the other week. I am in the EU if you want me to have a look at it.

I would offer to do it but i am in the EU and you are in the states so it would be a long postage time

Can you change the date via the crown?

Has that been relumed or is it stock

DG2813 or DG4813 £18 plus tax plus postage

Cousins UK hold most of the movements

my be cheeper to just change the movement with a 21j

Release the main spring tension and try winding again, but if this movement wont run generaly there is something wrong with it od the fitting, a simple thing like the dial pressing on the seconds hand can oftern be the cause

I got this from Precious time but that was a while ago, now it has new AR and a Jocob leather strap

Nice tag, i have a gen movement for that for sale right now as well. SA=Super Avenger

Might just be that the hand needs re-seating

I have in the pars worked on my blackbird movements and the problem here is that the left date wheel is not indexed properly, the fix would be to remove the dial and hands and refit the date wheel, it took me ages to work out the correct squencing, and i do mean ages. the best option here is send it back to Andrew in my oppinion.

I wont be going tomorrow but there is a watch trodle in Hanover on the 27th i think that i will be going to
