  1. They do look the same, I've got one from WM and it's nice, but Randy, the auction picture is the same the mine and Chris, but yours is different. On the inside links have breaks, it's like each piece is folded (is this why they are called folded???). I think that feature some people are after. Let me know if I am wrong guys
  2. use plenty of cutting fluid, that will help to keep the bits sharp and cool the area somewhat. It's still 1 bit for 2-3 holes for me...
  3. Great you're back Tommy . I got the first batch, and if 2nd is as good as a preliminary 1st, I'll take it (with the discount )
  4. Welcome back, I am glad you feel better. My condolences to you and your family.
  5. Hi guys, just wander what you use to press the retaining ring around the crystal (particularly on MBW vintages). I tried to use a socket wrench which pressed it well with a tiny scratch on a side, but it didn't sit flush with the case, there is still some gap left. Thanks
  6. http://www.boley.de/pbilder/explosion/ESA%5CESA7750%2Epdf 7760 seems to have subdials as 7750: at 12, 9, and 6 with day/date at 3. It has to be modified for PN, but at 7mm movement thickness I think it is pretty tight in DW's case. more information please
  7. Agreed, never too many parts There is always some project going, isn't?
  8. "OldeCrow" while you're satisfied with them it's great, but other people may have had more acceptable crowns to begin with. So when they saw what product they are getting they bought them based on the pictures PAM supplied. When you receive something that is considerably different you do get disappointed. I am one of those people, not flaming, just would like to hear his explanation on that.
  9. It is not Palp's crown as I understand but another fellow who was working with Palp on them. I received one and it's a bit of a dissapointment. over at TRC there is a thread of what was advertised and what is being delivered. They screwed up the bevel again, it cuts into the body too deep. Why the prototype was fine and final product is like a rep, except it is a bit thicker I don't know.
  10. pin it with a warning sign for a little while
  11. Happy birthday, it's still April 9th here :sorcerer: :sorcerer:
  12. marshall's hardware store if you have one
  13. i think it is still beveled, just harder to see at this angle, but visible
  14. Thanks guys for the insight. Chris, when I broke my clamps (seems like a weak part??) I asked The Zigmeister and he sent me for cheap. Ubi, do you mean there is a spacer ring between the dial and a movement? Is that how it came on MBW? Would you mind sharing a source of those in case I don't find one?
  15. Hello my friends, I am thinking to take the dial off the movement for realignment on my MBW, but before doing it was thinking to ask here that could prevent me from doing something stupid & damaging Do you know how MBWs and WMs dials are fixed to the movement, any tips on how to better approach a removal process? Thank a lot

    Nice watches David, I too wish there was a good replica made. Oh well, patience is a virtue
  17. I remember that pretty clear. I think Joe has a right to bring that up since people need to know who they really deal with. There is plenty of good alternatives in strap business, that's why he showed up I presume...
  18. I think TT will make it with his immense resources for women Hope it doesn't ignite the posting paranoia on the side note, you guys did a great job on smilies, kudos
  19. Let me guess white 1680?????
  20. so does it mean that the old one is going kaput...?
