Well boys, it was a nice long run being single but time for the next chapter in my life!! See you all in about a week or so.

Try turning the crown the opposite direction. On the 2836 modded GMT movements one direction adjusts the GMT hand, the other direction changes the date. Congrats Sixx!!!

Love that DOXA Ronin!!! Looking sharp!

Good point

Very nice! Your wife should be quite pleased with that one

Soxa on Rubber today Happy Birthday B!!!

Au revoir, Bloc Quebecois! Bunch of silly prats! Glad to see Harper finally managed to get a majority government. Maybe now they can get something done

At the bottom of the main page there is a blue banner with a "Moderator Team" link that will take you to the moderator team page. You can also click here

Good to see you posting again A! Glad to hear that surgery is working out for you and you can now focus on getting things back on track instead of focusing on the pain. Stick around and say hi periodically

Very nice! More pics please

Awwww Sweeeet!!!! Looking great! Can't wait to see the finished beauty. It will be a very nice compliment to your Franken PO! Is that a NOS bracelet too?

Does this mean they can leave Afghanistan now?? It's amazing the conspiracy theories cropping up over this one. My favorite one: to get back at Trump and disrupting Celebrity Apprentice! Yes I am quite certain that Obama planned his speech to co-incide with the airing of Celebrity Apprentice. Wow..... just wow.... Anyways, may peace ring throughout the world and as KB mentioned, hopefully this won't stir up the radicals too much that they go and do something to retaliate.

No pics here

I just got that little guy and I must say I am really, really impressed with the quality of it. The video is outstanding and that was in some really, really crappy light too! The camera is just a Canon ELPH 300 HS I need to get an oiling set I think. That is the next set of tools on the list. Any suggestions? The blue tools are the best tool I have ever purchased. They are Bergeon 30018 Fine Hand Levers. Expensive as hell but worth every penny!

Also GIoarmani posted a good tutorial on restoring a polished/brushed bracelet which you can find here

And now for my very first ever Tutorial Video!!!!

Correct... as stated earlier, I reset the keyless works before hand. I wish I had taken pics of it before I started the complete tear down But, the tutorial has been fun to make so I figured I should keep going. Plus, for my own knowledge, it was fun to see how it all went together and to see how it operates. The video will show this a little more clearly and is uploading now

In this case, I am not really "servicing" the movement. The keyless works was knocked out of position preventing the stem from going all the way back in to the winding setting. (I had already pushed it back into position before the disassembly but I thought it would be good to show the tear down and re-assembly of the movement in this tutorial so I kept going. Servicing and oiling the movement is not something I am prepared to do quite yet, but soon

Ok....on with the show So now I have the keyless works completely disassembled: All parts check out and everything looks good so I began the reassembly process. I have made a little video of the procedure as well which I will be posting in a little while. Here is a pic of part of the re-assembly:

Stølås for Friday

Great tip Mike! Thanks for that. Now I know for the next one!

Thanks folks! More to come tomorrow!!!

Hello fellow RWG'ers!!! Well it is a momentous day as I am doing my very first 7750 keyless works repair. I thought I would take some pics along the way to show you my progress and see if anyone has any tips or pointers First of all, thank you txcollector for the fantastic link to the ETA SwissLAB with a full tear down procedure. Granted, this is an A7750 and there are some subtle differences, but I think it is working out just fine. For those of you who didn't see that post you can find a link to the SwissLAB here Now I will be doing this teardown on a PAM 024D. The keyless works was messed up and to help out a good friend, I offered to give it a go. Obviously the first procedure is to de-case the movement (a procedure that I will not cover here). So, once removed, I mounted the movement and dial into my bergeon movement holder to begin the process of removing the hands: And now the hand removal: Next I removed the dial. This particular PAM has a GEN dial on it which was mounted with dial dots, so extra care is needed to remove it. Once removed, i cleaned off the old sticky residue from the dial dots: Isn't that a lovely looking Lello date wheel? Anyways, now to remove the date wheel. There are several parts that need to be removed here, but I will caution you to be very, VERY, careful when you go to remove the Jumper Spring. It will fly out before you even know what has happened and then you will be quite screwed! So, after some very careful work, the date wheel is now removed: Next we remove the date platform. Three little screws and a little effort to pull it up and you are good to go: Now we remove the hour and minute hand gears as they are just sitting in place. If you flip the movement over at this point, there is a very good chance these parts will just fall out so you need to be very careful: And now the close up of the keyless works: To be continued........

Fantastic find B!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Giving my Tudor 9411 some much deserved love and attention
