Which factory are you working with?

Just seen both bezel and insert are gen, it would have to be pressed in with proper die and tool

Thanks. I figured there was likely a special tool. Any idea where I can find such a tool or may be able to help me installing the insert into the bezel. 

Hey guys - does anyone know how to properly install a gen ceramic insert into a gen DSSD bezel? The last thing I want to do is crack this thing. 
 

I appreciate the help. Thanks!

Yup, you’re correct. What I needed was whatever the rep clone is, a p.9000. I really didn’t care with the decorating plate was. I was able to get one from Andrew.

Thanks for the reply.

Hey hello buddy long time no see here hope all is well, sure somebody knows in the brain trust at RWG.

Hi - I have a VS factory Panerai p.9000 series super clone movement that requires a new INCABLOC setting in the movement’s main plate. 

Impressed one out from a spare 7750 plate but it’s not compatible and wrong size. The p.9000 is the same diameter all the way through. The 7750 steps down in diameter towards the balance. 

Does anyone know what size this could be? I figure that the factory must be using one that they have in their other movement inventory.  The main plate is larger than a 7750 but smaller than a 6497. The 6497 INCABLOC is too large. I’d rather not buy a new movement since this is a fairly easy fix with the correct INCABLOC. 

p.9000 main plate with INCABLOC removed

Dial side of plate

p.9000 INCABLOC outer ring - the center was damaged while removing. I needed to replace the lyra spring that broke. 

This is a 7750 INCABLOC. I removed the spring to use in the repair. 

This is the 7750 plate. You can see that the INCABLOC hole diameter steps down. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

Hey guys! 

I need a new movement. Does anyone know the best place to procure one?

Thanks

Hello. This is from the GMT 9000 clone but I think the rotor winding bridge is the same. This is what how gears set up should look like. The tricky part is getting the bridge back on movement without the gears moving out of place. I had bridge facing up and carefully placed movement facing down on top of bridge and it lined up. I’m sure there’s another way but I got lucky here. I hope this helps.

Hey guys! I am having issues with the auto wind on this movement as I noticed that it’s not winding the watch. Power reserve winds down while constantly wearing if not manually wound. 

After opening the watch and getting to the auto winding bridge, I noticed the the reversing wheel click is not engaging properly. It’s set too high and not engaging the lower reversing wheel. Instead it’s touching the upper portion of the wheel that is geared to the rotor. There was nothing that I could do to rest the click on the lower portion of the wheel. 

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

High amps doesn’t mean you are good to go
When the movement is dry you may experience top amplitude
When you got gunk instead of lube the amps go on low side

Well you’ve done your best, pass this on now. Mike if your US based

Yeah, when the amp goes up the s/d goes up too. I saw the amp go up to 275 with a 0.1 beat error, but the s/d also went up to +10.

I have a Rolex service manual for the 3135, but I’m hesitant to service this myself. Hands aren’t as stead as they used to be. Always takes me to a very frustrating place.

Best that I can get it.

Now loosen the stud support screw and move the stud until you see 0.0 beat error or at least 0.2

Demagnetized


Probably time for a service anyway soon.

Thanks for the help!

Nothing can be done over the internet. LOL

Try to remove the balance and dip in one clean solution

It may help

If not then you need service

Yup! I get it! Thanks Michael!

I just tested it again and did find some magnetism. I’ll pick up a demagnetizer.

I hate messing with hairsprings.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s not magnetized. I just checked it.

Here are some pics of the hairspring.

Thanks! What are my options for a fix? How did this occur?

Hey Guys!
 
My Franken DSSD started running fast suddenly. I put it on the machine and this is what it looks like.
 
Does anyone know what’s going on here? Thanks!

I love these thick straps. Where did you find it?

The only suspect that would make me question is that the indices on the bezel don't go all the way down to the edge.

My Gen Datora has the indices contacting the edge so that when it's aligned to a number, they form a solid line.

But she's a real beaut!

Guys! I have both. I have TC's insert and I have a gen. I can tell this; if not for the scratch I have on the gen, it would be indistinguishable from TC's. Yes, it's that good! If there are those that put them both under a spectrometer or some other fancy machine to lull the difference on a micron scale of color or size; I'd say get a fracking life. Because your sorry human eye cannot tell the freaking difference anyway! Geez!

Thank you !

How about the TC V6, is that compatible with a 3135 gen ?

Cheers.
