  4. Take a look here first http://harrytan.sg/watches/IWCPPC2/PPC2/PPC2.htm Genuine ones A side by side comparison of the Original Portuguese Perpetual Calendar in Yellow Gold (released 2003) on the left and the new Portuguese Calendar Pink Gold 2006 on the right.
  5. Nothing is more frustrating that wanting to wear a specific watch and you can’t because it doesn’t fit under your shirt cuff. Here are some simple how to instructions to modify the button to give some room for larger watches. It is not difficult and like everything else gets easier with practice. Tools: 1. Needle, thread and something to cut the thread with. Step 2. Remove the existing button. Pretty simple. Step 3. OK, this is where it gets difficult. Basically we are going to reattach the button, but instead of putting it right against the shirt, we are going to extend the length of thread connecting the button to the cuff. Use something to act as a spacer. Here I am using a marker pen that will give 2-3 cm in length between the button and the cuff. First poke the needle through the underside of the cuff and pull all the way through. You can use the same holes from the original button setting. Then thread the needle through one of the button holes. Place your spacer against the cuff over the intended location of the button. Slide the button all the way down to the spacer. Poke the needle through the opposite button hole, put it around the spacer and then poke through the cuff to the underside. Pull tight to help secure. Now push the needle again through the underside of the cuff, go around the outside of the spacer and put through a new button hole. Cross over to the opposite button hole and then go around the spacer again and then push through the shirt cuff. Repeat this process a whole bunch of times. I would guess 10-15 times. Continue until there is a mass of thread similar to what is on the original button. With each pass it will get easier because things will be more secure. Step 4 When you decide that you have done enough you want to end with the thread through the button, but not pushed through the cuff. You want the needle and thread on the same side as the button. Pull the spacer out and it will look like this. Repeat this process a whole bunch of times. I would guess 10-15 times. Continue until there is a mass of thread similar to what is on the original button. With each pass it will get easier because things will be more secure. Step 4 When you decide that you have done enough you want to end with the thread through the button, but not pushed through the cuff. You want the needle and thread on the same side as the button. Pull the spacer out and it will look like this. And here is a demonstration with the largest watch I have. The case is 15 mm thick and fits easily under this cuff. So I did this to a couple of shirts several months ago as pilots. My shirts are laundered and pressed at the cleaners and the buttons have held up fine. I think when it is buttoned, the extra thread is hardly noticeable, especially if you use a matching color to the shirt. One trade off is that when you are not wearing something thick like a quartz, the cuff will slip down farther on your hand than the other cuff. Good luck!
  6. Sorry .....obviously 55 will look fine on you You have the correct context and circumstances
  7. Yes I agree but I am just almost never in a context that will allow me to wear a 50+mm watch
  8. So is there really any good replicas of the Calibre de Cartier out there ? At 42 mm and the perception of size is enhanced by the narrow bezel and large dial At only 10 mm high, the watch has an elegant diameter-to-height ratio giving it a pleasing profile on the wrist. Genuine: http://cartier.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-886/pi-3858956/ti-615766/s--1/ This one will be much harder to replicate Limited Edition Hand-wound Cartier Calibre de Cartier Astrotourbillon Watch This one too...Calibre de Cartier multiple time zone watch, Calibre 9909 MC some other variants Calibre de Cartier central chronograph Calibre de Cartier flying tourbillon
  9. Size matters....but they can get too big (50mm and larger watches/Clocks are just way too large to be desireable in 99 out of 100 cases) same goes for organs.... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9SlYS77Pdxg/SYvVoChZdGI/AAAAAAAABtU/sbzvsGCunZk/s1600/size.matters.jpg
  10. The IWC that can be worn anywhere and anytime...
  11. I am amazed that those tatoos somehow match the Tudor
  12. i just provide info..others may act upon it and yes these movemenst are not identical so if it truly is a drop in or will work as one in your case or not we have to ask The Zigmeister or the like that actully do know these things
  13. The DG2813 beats at 21600. The equivalent version beating at 28800 is the DG4813 (Ofrei) and DG8413 (Cousins, wrong name in this webpage). The DG2813 is very cheap: $15.40 at Ofrei, � 4.95 at Cousins. see also this http://forums.watchuseek.com/f72/dg-4813-a-152542.html
  14. Look at the PDF inside. Might be useful for some. not my work http://forums.watchuseek.com/f72/comparison-selected-11-5-movements-interchangeability-update-february-2011-a-506936.html Last edited by Torsten; 4 Days Ago at 01:08. Comparison of selected 11.5''' movements for interchangeability update (February 2011) I am starting this third thread for the same topic discussed a few months ago for easy reference. Thinking of a watch project I struggled to understand the technical details for the various commonly used Chinese and Swiss movements. With the help and encouragement of the Chinese Mechanical watches forum users I have now finished compiling a tech spec sheet for easy reference. Please let me know should you spot any erroneous info and I am happy to change and upload a new pdf file. Latest version as of February 18, 2011 is v2. (To allow for keyword searching within WUS and the WWW here the main concepts of the pdf file: movement diameter, movement height, stem height, hand size, dial feet position, beat frequency, Miyota, Hangzhou, Nanning, Dixmont Guangzhou, Seagull, Shanghai watch factory, ETA) Thanks for adding to the library gifgy!
