EMS and International Air Mail have terrible tracking updates .. you will learn this as execute more purchases. You might not see an update until it's in Kennedy Airport.

There isn't enough love here for the Cartier Pasha Sea Timer! It's such a classic. Wearing mine today .. this taken yesterday.

Welcome to the Party!

This looks like a bog standard Sub to me.

There is a member here and on RWI who is an accomplished 77x0 repair person. He is only a trusted watchsmith on RWI, tho. His forum name is a bunch of rolex model numbers. He has his own area on RWI.

There is no guarantee that a "new" chrono watch will last as well as the one you own. After a high quality service from Domi, you will have 5 years of good life. Maybe a new one lasts 3 years again .. Maybe 2 months!!

Where are you in the World? I can't see "Location" in TapaTalk.

The same thing happens to me all the time.

The Zig Man is a master watch smith. He can fabricate microscopic watch parts to creating Frankens to luming dials to servicing movements. Everything. He's considered the best in north america.

It looks so clean. Like a tuxedo shirt.

Thanks! I was wondering about the hex pattern.

And it's beautiful, btw ... what is the blue stick tool for? What's that rotary nut protrusion on the left side of the watch case??

Id be happy if that was a case for an iPhone. I would not even care that it blocks the camera. Its just damn sexy.

The Katt can do the 6497 but not the 775x ... over on RWI there is at least one trusted watch service pro who does 775x

So .... Where are you, in the World?

hehe it's too late. You are hooked.

Congratulations and shame on your for a teaser photo!! I cant wait to see it.

That is an awesome way to gouge the everloving snot out of your case.

I have to agree ... 3 seconds off COSC standard is flipping brilliant for a watch you are paying $4000 less than the Gen ... let us please have some perspective here, folks. As for the crooked markers, you might ask for another watch but honestly, I see this a lot. Your next example will probably have them, too ... it's a replica, after all.

The only reason I mentioned it was from his cue that "it's scratched to shit" ... I assumed he was unhappy about that My white 1680 has seen JMB's "bucket of chips" so I have nothing against an aged watch.

If you are going to use a professional case back die and t-handle then you might as well also purchase a case clamp! It screws down permanently to a work table and holds the case tightly in soft brass fingers so it can not move while you are using the handle and die. Watchbitz Case Clamp

I think it's lovely. Thanks for posting the pics.

Detail of the micrometer adjustment for regulation .. note the threaded rod is curved, and the carriage nut which moves the regulating needle when you spin it.

For a beautiful day ..
