Blew the dust off this morning for some wrist time this Tuesday ...

That is correct- The 1680 dial is too large by roughly .5mm - 1mm (don't recall exactly). Needs to be trimmed to fit properly...

Hmmmm... You'd need some leverage and strong glue to break a loc-tite treated thread loose (or heat it up, which would then soften the glue in the stem as well ). Plus, with the weakened walls of the stem from drilling, they might just break anyways. That might help with removal, though...

*Curiously waiting to see if bluebite will become the proud new owner of a Phong cased red PN*

Man, I feel ya, K. Very, very sorry to hear. When did the stem snap? Was it while advancing through the date or time? If so... That leads me to believe that the stem hole isn't lined up center with the tube... BTW... The Manual Palp landed with me today. I appreciate your generosity, but I intend to return the favor in some way or another...

I'll have to check it out...

I have yet to see this film. Is it any good?

!!!

Parting with it already?

I wonder if Rocketeer is even aware of this posting here on RWG. Has anyone let him know to see if he is interested in posting an explanation on his own behalf?

For the MBW... I think you need a specific 1570 to fit the case right. More to do with the shape of the ring holding the date, as some cases (1500, I think) require the different ring to facilitate fit due to their smaller size. Stilty was talking about this recently... Which explains how some movements fit as-is (reinforcing the original myth behind the MBWs accepting gen movements) and some require modification to fit.

LOL! rek- You hit the nail right on the head!

Fantastic. Tux dial 029 is just gorgeous!

Hmmmmmm....

Maybe it's just my monitor... But does that girl have a moustache?!

Too many Georges in the equation. We have Katerchen George... MBW George from Greece... And George Clooney. Does anyone know who's on first, what's on second?

Great to see you as well, my friend! That watch, kind sir, is a beauty!!

Man... I haven't spoken to the other George in ages! BTW, MBW (not MBK) did at one time offer a secs@12:00 model- With the 2892 and DD module! But, that's the only secs@12:00 they offered... And in limited quantities...

bb- See Freddy's post above

I'm hoping that becomes a reality sooner rather than later!

Seems a bit quick to me as well, sander

wadan, Do you still have that old vintage IWC Pilot?

Thank you, vly
