Hmmm Good info, thanks Jmb.

Oh, and one quick question: The watch-smith said that the crown slips intermittently when winding. Is that due to possibly a 1.20 tap and not the proper .90 verity?

I'm bringin' it back baby!!! I've been waiting a log time to get my 7032 back from my local watch-smith so i can finally add a post to this thread. Well, she's back from the spa as it were. I tried the assembly myself but got in over my head a little. Anyway, i'm very pleased with the watch. DW case set, Ebay 7734 movement with 45 min counter, 7636 bracelet from Trusty and fully serviced and assembled by watch-smith. A few (large...sorry) pix: wordpress image hosting gif upload gif upload Can i be in the club now? Am I cool now?

Thanks to you as well LHOOQ . No, the watch came with a black leather croco strap with deployment. I still have it and may change back from time to time but the ss bracelet totally changes the look of the watch... and the bracelet cost me an arm and a leg!!

Lookin' good LHOOQ, I think I'll join you from the future: wordpress image hosting free image hosting

Looks great Red. Very nice shot. Man i loved that sumburts dial. I miss her.... I'm glad she went to a good home.

It's hard to pass this one up: upload gif

"A perfect gen from 2010", hey that rhymes. I'm missing her already. Add yes, as LHOOQ mentioned, the sunburst dial was one of my favorite aesthetic parts of that watch. Looks good Red and wear it well.

I haven't read all the responses from this post yet BT but I've often thought the forums were both the dealers best friend and worst nightmare at the same time. While the forums offer a lot of exposure for the dealers they also offer a lot of discussion as to the dealers product good or bad. Don't get me wrong, i like a little point counter point but i think this forum actually turned me off of buying reps from the dealers and possibly reps altogether. I think maybe I've learned a little too much about reps and their accuracy (out of box). I used to love getting a rep in the mail then i would read all the negative and inaccuracy posts and i would sell the rep and the search continued. After 2 years of that, i think I'm done (yeah right) Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Very nice LHOOQ. I think I'll join you: image uploader

Seller stated the chrono works and works well. I haven't tested this yet as i haven't cased the movement or attached the hands. I'm going to let an expert (Vac) do this for me.

Would a movement have a 45 minute seconds gear but not a 45m chronograph runner? That would seem by my amateur opinion to be apples and oranges. Right?

mrboombasteke, What exactly is the 45m chronograph runner?

Ok, so the 7032 project progresses (slowly). My question is does this look like a 45 minute counter? From comparison shots it looks like it to me but I'm looking for confirmation. I'll be sending the watch and parts to Vac eventually as I'm a little nervous ill f this one up. Anyway, experts please chime in. upload pngpng
