I read here that the 4813 is not the same sizes than the 2813 and the stem might not fit in perfectly. Any experience with swapping an asian 21J for a 4813 ?
I have already all the tools needed to do that. That is why I was thinking about a swap
MArk answers me and told me to send the watch back of course ! I asked him if he can just send me a movement alone and I will take care of the swap.
Hello,
What kind of movement can I buy to swap this asian 21j (that is not working after only 5 hours !!!).
I don't mind if it is not a swiss ETA. I just want it to work ! Any links to buy a replacement movement is warmly welcome.
The watch is a Sea Dweller 1665 from timeshop.
Hello,
I am looking for a metal protector ring for a movement of a diameter of 26mm (like the asian 21j) to put in my SDDR 1665.
It looks like the plastic ring is about 31 mm of diameter. Anyone knows the exact size and where I could find a metal version of this protector ring ?
Here are pics of the plastic protector ring and the SDDR 1665 :
After 30 minutes looking for a way to remove the bezel I just accidently put my fingers on the back of the glass and it pops out gently In fact it is noes a glass as so to speak but more a cheap plastic. I need to swap this piece for something more solid and accurate thanks for the infos anyway !
And yes there is no retaining ring… I think that when I will swap the glass, I will simply glue it to the case…
But first I need to resolve another problem as after 5 hours the wonderful 21j movement stopped working
I will stay with my aquatimer 2006… those one looks ugly ! But the bezel looks like it has a some kind of texture over it that looks a lot like the blancpain Fifty Fathoms. I hope that when they replicate this ones they will consider rep the Blancpain
and the "waffle" strap is just but a joke Sweet sixties here I come !!!
Hello,
I have looked around and realize that some of the dealers are offering free shipping (which can save you some cash, after ordering 7 or so watches
I would definitevely go for one orange number dial. But 100$ shipped is a little bit overpriced, I think, as there is very small chances that they will actually use superluminova. And more than that 100$ is almost half the price of an UPO from most of the dealer here ! If it is available for, let's say, 40$ to 60$ shipped I would go for it !
timeshop has made it available… automatic 21 j
but it's here with lots of flaws ! It doesn't even have a titanium case and bracelet. I am so unhappy!
Honestly what those chinese rippers are looking at ? Don't they see the major mistakes they made ? I mean they are supposed to have some infos or pics when they replicate it… It is obvious that they are not coming here to get at least an accurate picture
