Bump...

Since you're bored, maybe you can answer this question: can you buy aftermarket submariner dials? How about the dails with the ETA movements attached?

And your response would be...

The fact that he used the term "rep" (like stated above) tells me that he is aware of the community. I don't think it's a big deal, really. He sounds like he appreciated the work that went into it and wasn't contemptuous in the least.

Great info!

They all sell aftermarket. And, how much are the real ones, anyways? This is for my TW Classic...

Does anyone have pic's of this loose screw? What are the symptoms?

Very helpful Bazz/Tribal. Since I don't want the trouble of retapping, can you recommend a place to buy a good aftermarket crown that will drop in? (sort of like the aftermarket inserts)

The crown I have not is not very accurate, as I have the older model TW Classic. Thanks in advance.

Do you have any idea what that pulsation is coming from my watch now? It occurs when I move it...

Also, what type of glue do you recommend if you want to take out the insert in the future (therefore excluding epoxies)? What comes from factory stock?

Please help for the good of those who dare to buy and wear rep. watches...you know, those living on the edge...

As I attempt to mod my TW Classic rollie, I used my Dremel tool to polish the edges of the case. Now I feel this vibration from inside the movement and I get a sneak'n suspicion that it's a release mechanism for overwind. Can the vibrations from the dremel quickly overwind the Automatic ETA? Thanks!

Which one has be more accurate to gen. insert including pearl...Thanks all!! http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-BEZEL-INSERT-FOR...3QQcmdZViewItem OR http://www.ofrei.com/page_151.html#384 OR http://www.thewatchprince.com/category/e/ (Btw, my TW Classic insert measures 37.25 mm overall diameter with a 3.45 mm width. These are actual measured dimensions, not nominal...nomimal would be probably 37.7mm x 3.5mm)

Wow, thanks Jet! Lancelot: are those the best bang for the buck (better than the ebay)? Do you know what size I need? Thanks!

Nah, I think that I would rather sit back and keep searching... My contribution to the boards? Good looks and charm.

Almost nowhere. I'm in virgin rep. territory.

On a site like this u figure there would be such a how to.

Thanks. That was actually very helpful. How do you pop off the bezel/insert? Also, the bezel takes tremendous force to rotate. What's the cure?
