Anyone Have Experience with raffles-time 6538 Case?
Ronin replied to JoeyB's topic in The Rolex Area
He has rings to accept ETA, DG/Miyota/SeaGull. Personally, if you want slow beat, just use the disposable DG/Miyota/SeaGull. EVERY 2846 that has come across my desk has been in need of full service. On the 21.6 side, it is hard to beat the DG 2813 anymore. -
Neat. I am still holding out for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH2aGnkQ75g

Can you be a little more specific? Sounds like there is a questionable 'Top-rated seller'? I would love to know NOT to do business with, or at least limited business with if that is the case.

Wow, awesome history lesson! Looks like my grail Doxa therefore will be a Silver Conquistador.

@chubbchubb, nice Sinn. I need one of those... Today: Homebrew:

Pre-SEL perhaps. I have seen a myrid of white EXPII whites from 1999 forward and none are "True Black". Is your dial a cream colored? Blackening might also be oxidization on an older dial. Can you post pics of yours?

Nanuq, Are there any Black Lung SeaRamblers out there that you are aware of?

702 & 703 Crowns - How do you tell which is which?
Ronin replied to redwatch's topic in The Rolex Area
Are you sure you don't have a BK Crown/Tube on the noob? That would explain it. Same with some of the MBW stuff. I have a Clark "Gen Spec" 703 tube here, that will accept both a crimped 703 Crown and a Monoblock 704... ??? -
702 & 703 Crowns - How do you tell which is which?
Ronin replied to redwatch's topic in The Rolex Area
Just saw the 704 monoblock like in Ubi's pic on the watch (dots farther away) on a BRAND NEW 14060M @ Ben Bridge Jewelers. I am guessing RSC will be moving onto these on future sub service. They are backwards compatible with the 703 tubes. Here is the same on my 1680 build: -
You can regulate it like a Miyota/DG. In short, do NOT move the lever on yours with the BIG single dot, move only the the arm with the two dots. CLOSER together = Slower, Farther Apart should be Faster. Stolen Content Below showing the CONCEPT on a Miyota BUT MIRRORED of your ETA: Here is a closeup of the Miyota. As you can see by the illustration there is a bar that is moved in either direction to change the watches timing. Moving the bar in a counter clockwise closer direction (towards A) will slow the movement and by moving the bar in a clockwise wider direction (towards B will speed up the movement. There are two things with this movement that make it a bit difficult to regulate. The first is that there is only a very small notch on the other side near the +/- © to show your changes, so you either have to judge the movement of the bar compared to the jewel to its right or visualize a line to see where it falls on the +/- that I have illustrated with the yellow line. The Second is that the bar is VERY touchy. Just a small change of the bar can throw the movement off by minutes instead of seconds, where the selita/ETAs are a bit easier with the screw. Below is an example of the extreme changes you can run into.

Remember GEN is NOT Black, but charcoal/gun metal... GEN

That looks awesome R!

Nice. Are those Maxi hands on the 14060...

Well Done!

23pcs Macro Shot : Hublot Full Ceramic Skeleton Tourbillon
Ronin replied to rckh's topic in Other Brands Area
Cable Modem. -
I have taken to video documenting everything, and using tamper proof tape. One continuous shot, etc. Signature confirmation. And USPS proof of acceptance, and a photo of it at the PO. That way if the buyer accuses me of not sending the item, I have more than the average proof. Excessive and paranoid on my part...yes. Based on you receiving empty box, sounds like it is time to start video documenting the receipt of items. I would hope, PP would consider such evidence in a claim.

I just spent 8 days in Vegas, and when I saw the title of your post I thought it said: "Help with Strippers name"...

GMT Hand doesn't beat - Something thats fixable?
Ronin replied to VesperMatt's topic in The Rolex Area
Sounds like something is amiss in the 28x6 GMT Modification. Long short, you need to pull the movement, hands, dial, and poke around. If you are not capable, some other members here are. -
GMT Hand doesn't beat - Something thats fixable?
Ronin replied to VesperMatt's topic in The Rolex Area
It might not be the hand but a missing tension washer between the 24hr gear and the hour/dial. When you manually set it, you are engaging a different drive mechanism. The fact the hand moves when in that mode, tells me it is not the hand. -
My hands and feet were sweating watching that.

Here is a video of my DG3804, that: Dropped into a GEN Case. Even the datewheel aligns with GEN Dials out-of-the-box. No overlay used. (True, not silver, but felt the "serviced DW replacement look worked). DG3804 PRO's: Drops into Gen Case with slightly sanded Stilty ring or Yuki 1575 adapterDatewheel aligns with Gen DialDatewheel mechanism easily modifiable (Stock white/black numbers can be sanded off revealing silver area for overlay decal)Mercedes Hands readily available. A Gen GMT hand could be adapted.Slow Beat 21.6. (ETA 2836 mods are high beat / wrong, and NO BETTER as it is not a factory ETA, and never Swiss)If it fails / dies, R&R it for under $30.
