redwatch

I just realized that yesterday was National "Talk like a Pirate Day"! Can't believe I missed it! Aaarrgghhhh..... Missed me chance to act like a scallywag and heave ho a bottle of rum!

Hard to tell from the pics, but the hands don't look too bad to me to be honest. Mine were much shinier when they were first installed, but have aged nicely in just the short couple of years that I have had them. I kind of enjoy the subtle reflections they give off in the right light. I'd leave yours alone if it were me.

Nice to see the swissfish is still looking good J! Looks great Val! Awesome pic F!!! Another Tudor for Tuesday

Welcome Cam and enjoy! You have found yourself an invaluable resource here

Good thing that I downloaded it and saved it Click Me

Looks pretty good to me. What do you guys think? Link

The tip of the minute hand should extend to the outside edge of the lumed markers. Looks pretty good to me Here's mine for comparison:

Smelly

What's the case source? Will it take a gen crystal?

Is that a 127 crystal? Date mag looks a little on the small side. Let me check my parts bins.... I might have a gen 127 lying around for you

Looks awesome!!!! Congrats and enjoy!!

Another Vintage for Monday

Very nice! Good choice!!!

Absolutely! One of the great ones here! (Probably why he is a part of this great mod team )

Nicely aged and looks great! Oh....and the LP is Pink Floyd's Delicate Sound of Thunder Great album!

Good lord that is gorgeous B! Congratulations!

Wow..... very nice! What are your plans for the leftover bits from that beauty?

Thanks F. Incoming PM

I'm pretty sure db2 has an MTG1000. I am not familiar with them. I also know offshore is going to be selling the TYMC timers (which the MTG is a knock off of). Supposedly TYMC has much better customer service and I have heard varied reports about the reliability of the MTG machines.

Thanks Chief! It already has!!! Oh and the smileys now show up below the post. You click the Smiley Icon to the left of "My Media" and then they show up below:

Yeah, not too cheap, but worth every penny!

Welcome to the forum! We hope you find some useful information here (there is quite a lot of it! )

Oh so is that what happened to your DRSD that you sent me

So I finally broke down and bought myself a Watch Timer. I ended up going with the Bryan Mumford Microset Watch Timer Pro. It comes with a fantastic clamping watch sensor and a software interface for windows. I resurrected an ancient Dell Laptop that I had lying around and it's running like a champ. I don't know how I managed to get anywhere before having this. It is so helpful and informative! Here's a few pics. I was fortunate enough to have Nanuq's famous MBK DRSD in house and so it became my first test subject. When I started off the watch (using a 2836-2) was running at around +26sec/day. I dismantled the watch to repair the seconds hand pinion (it had remnants of an old seconds hand tube stuck on it). Reassembled the movement, got the date wheel remounted and set off to test it again. Still running at +26sec/day. While running in Paper tape mode, slowly adjusted the regulator screw to slow it down. After some slight adjustments (and we are talking minor here) got the movement running at +1.6sec/day

Congrats and here's to the next 1000 posts! Keep up the great photo shoots (especially with the Lego men!)
