Hi
some poeple has misunderstand me... or may my english is poor
Here again my statement about angelus240:
this movement is a simple old vintage movement. Speciality of this movement is the 8 days power reserve in a 35mm small diameter. This is rare on vintage calibers. It is a nice looking movement (when new) but without decoration or any extra function... also it isn

Archibald is our undisputed master on print issues. He could provide with some enlightning inputs.

I've heard one account that separating the sandwich crystal is not terribly difficult... I think it was Lello who tried it.
I can confirm. Lello tried and succeeded.
Just heat (a flame) and the three pieces - the two crystal layers and the cyclops - came apart.
Then, quite a bit of glue and some attention not to get air bubbles between the two layers while reassembling.
I think I'm going to try the same on the next few days...

Great!
no better tradeoff between magnification and distortion could be achieved. This is a masterpiece.
Congrats!
(I'm also glad for that little devil who insisted about the importance of low distortion...
)

As for the watch on his wrist, it looked like some of the first versions of PVD reps we got that were too "black".
I wonder if someone got him and sold him a first version rep.
Really
It actually looks a PVD Fiddy...

Great minds think alike!!!
Stay tuned Brian, today I disassembled my 104, and tomorrow it is supposed to get a new cyclops...

After all the only danger is that noobs like me buy hockey pucks and vises to mod their wifes
Ah.
Weren't wives supposed to get modded that way, really?!?

BTW, which model the guy on the 1st two shots is wearing?

As you already know, a 203 got sold @ 77,000 USD last september in a Hong Kong Sotheby's auction.
So 100,000 USD is inside the market.
Bur 1M, I agree, is a promotion action.
Tourbillion, I seem to remember that you once said that the Angelus 240 is [censored]...

It's months now that I am constantly checking eBay for 24-mm 'Panerai' buckles.
No luck so far.

I usually push the crown before closing the lever.
But sometimes I feel that the crown does not push-in properly, and only on those occasions I try with the lever too.
Honestly, I do not think this is an issue.

Hi chieftang, just to let you know that the cyclopses arrived safe and sound into my hands.
At a first glance they are awesome. Thanks again for putting this together!
More feedback to follow.

Anyone else here is currently experiencing great troubles in connecting to UK websites?

god?
A three letter word word with no meaning.
A superfluous hypothesis.
Religion?
In the best case, an illusion.
In the worst case, a symptom of a(n even widespread) mental disorder.
(Yes, this post is offensive and ready for deletion... After all, it's just an old story).
@Phoband: Pho, I am amazed. Dawkins! You might have a bro-in-mind here.
Just a little more angry.

I've bought from BOB before, but i have heard his merino collection is actually pretty thcik and dont really want the cheap ones...
Apologies for my English, I was meaning 'inexpensive' rather than 'cheap'.
Bob's inexpensive straps sold on eBay are inexpensive exactly because they are thin, not because of poor quality.
Quality is not amazing, but not bad either. Quite fair quality for the price.
I got a Bob inexpensive shark strap and got disappointed because I love thick straps, but as you like thin straps maybe they are worth a look.

Great! I love it!
Just IMHO cats are not such touchy and inconclusively paranoical.
On a second though, the writer looks in perfect knowledge of dog psychology, but quite poor about cats.
Believe me. I missed a cat spermatozoon and got a human one just by a hair's breadth.

Make a search on eBay for 'bob' + 'strap'. The cheapest ones are thin.

This movement is a copy of a 2836-2...I was initially told it was a advertized as a 2824-2, so went along that line when I did up the post initially, forgetting that it was a 2836-2 one...
I have since corrected the title and all the text to 2836-2.
Sorry for any confusion.
RG
Thanks for the clarification.
BTW, awesome post! (...as usual from you..)

@dark: yes, I too feel we'll never have a rep of this.
Still, dreaming is no hurt...
@flavor: definitely it's just the photo
-
Sorry to post a probably dumb question, but I got completely confused... Are we speaking here of 2836-2 or 2824-2 movements?

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing your experience on color mixing.

Guys - I am back and the wheels have arrived in my hands this morning. I am away for the weekend so will start shipping them next week. Please bear with me as it will take quite a while to sort, pack and address all of them so they will not all go at once.
No problem Mark, as long as I will get included in the very 1st batch
Out of joke, really no problem, just eager to enjoy the outcome of this awesome project and effort!
Thanks a lot, have a great week end!

Unbelievable.
Ditto.

@longshot: nice find on the amanita muscaria, ls!
Frankly, this guy looks more pathethic/fool than criminal. I just wonder how his wife could withstand 8 years.
@kruzer00: does the "K" in "Pre-K" stand for Kinetic, Warren, or is there another pun (besides Pre-A/Pre-V) I am missing here? Does "Pre-K" mean something specific in English?
(a dumb question, I suppose)
Angelus 240 on eBay
in The Panerai Area
Posted
I decided not to enter into auction when I found it was @ 200 GBP.
By the way, I know it is the Angelus of the poor, but some time ago I won this one.
