the main reason I learned to remove a movement was for these reasons and mainly at the time is ecause I wanted to get as many crystals to chief as possible.. all you need to fix this is 1 jewelers screw driver.. if you don't have a rubber ball case back opener.. duct tape will do.. rolled up into a small ball..
the PO movement is very easy to remove .. and replace..
go here to see how>Here
sooner or later your gonna need to learn how to take out the movement and replace it.. it helps to start somewhere..it's not as complicated as you think..it is the basic 1-2-3..it's just the thought that stops us.. at first.

The SA BS project was abandoned by the original maker right about the time the economy went South.. ergo the delay in the release.. members did send in pics of a genuine for what was to be a replica made form pics.. the project was abandoned and the Noob factory picked up this project but used a genuine SA BS instead of the donated pics by a member .. therefore the huge delay in production.. it was due out shortly after the Skyland BS..so with the first project abandoned .. we have to wait and see how good this is stacked up to the Skyland BS.
the pics are over saturated so.. we just gotta wait for the rep to arrive..
This is my 127.. the face of the dial is a EL.,.. the back lume is a DSN, 3 years old and still going strong.edit add.. the hands and crystal are also DSN
No pre order list .. and no telling when it'll be done.. the best time line he gives is 2010.. as he has done other projects and lost a lot of money in the process.. I have total faith that he will give us all a heads up.. he's been working on this one a long time.. and it's all money outta his pockeletes.. and not a money making venture at that.. just another great thing for the community that he is doing..

I'm not qualified to fix anything.. leave that to Ziggy and Vac..
but believe me if I can do the basic movement removal.. anyone on the Planet can too..
Free, I was free at last!!!! form the bondage of dust,.. crooked markers...
and I do go nutz with Chiefs AR now.. .. since I can do it maself..
but definitely leave the tech stuff to Ziggy.. no doubt..
fo sure denz.. it is easier than the tutorial appears.. and will expand your hobby 10 fold.. get a cheapo watch to practice on and you'll realize how easy it is..
nest we'll have you taking off and replacing hands and dials.. dw....
if your going to get into reps.. you gotta take the bull by the horns .. as we say..

Wadda ya thinks of this.. V just mailed it off a few day's ago.. I sent him the buckle that Zig had pvd'd for me.. the strap is a Pav99 that V saved for me.. .. his hole spacing is perfect for my wrist..
I can't wait to get FGD's 203A and 218A hooked up.. his dials are a prize.. grateful to the brotha for what he does here
pics V sent me..
It's SOP with the rep cases.. of course not so on the gen. .. Kruzer will have 1:1 PreV cases ready for us sometime in 2010.. exactly when .. dunno.. he has a gen PreV case being CNC'd.. looking forward to that

Donz TZ is the genuine fora "Time Zone" ..the case in question is verified genuine and is a mid size DJ model.. without bezel and crystal though.. he also sells dials for the DJ..
