Change of plans for me on Thursday. I'm going Maradonna style...

This on my left wrist:

This on my right wrist:

Haha... Great to hear from you, you stubborn Dutch kid!

Please post some pics of your new toys!

For grins, I put my 6239 dash bezel on my DW 6263, as it was the only SS bezel I have on hand at the moment (Warr wanted to see this combo, I believe), and I also thought it would match my 16520 a bit better

The result... I kinda like it, even if it's not correct, per se. It's a completely different look than what I'm used to seeing, and it's shed a new light/perspective on this one...

See what I mean about the bezel matching the 16520's? The 'UNITS PER HOUR' at 1:00 is a nice touch in my opinion...

Wrist shot...

It's former appearance...

Thanks for looking!

Mmmmm... Daytona fetish...

Some additional help...

The lever in your picture is the correct one for this model of movement.

Moving this lever will vary how fast or slow the watch runs. Just

becasue it's the correct lever on this movement, doesn't mean it's the

correct one on all movements, some are the opposite to this one and have

the stud arm on the inside. The 2892A2 is opposite to this model.

This arm is the regulator arm, and the way to tell which one is the

regulator arm is as follows:

look at the hairspring on the balance, where the hairspring ends - this

is the stud arm. You never move the stud arm as this affects the beat of

the watch, and to adjust the beat, you need a watch analyzer.

The arm that the hairspring passes through, is the regulator one. The

danger in moving this arm is the risk of touching and damaging the

hairspring. The only way to avoid this is to have loupe so you can see

what your doing.

If the regulator arm is at the most negative adjustment, and the watch

still runs fast, then it's a sign that the movement is dry and needs to

be serviced, cleaned and oiled. A dry movement has more friction and

this means the balance swings less, smaller swings equal faster rate...

Who has the best LV Sub? Toni does!! Excellent work, my friend!

Indeed... Looks kinda like a spiral stair case. Interesting...

Perhaps a genuine bezel can be fit... If an adaptor can be machined to accept the bezel assembly and then fitted to the rep case. Hmmmmmmm.... Some food for thought

5 minutes a day? I don't think regulation is going to fix that... There's most likely something else going on with the movement... Regulation is only going to adjust for seconds, not minutes

Is that really the right thing to do, Admin?

Seriously... Sleep on it. You may have a different perspective in the morning...

Happy birthday, and all the best!

Today-

Tomorrow-

Okay... Just how slow is your movement running? There are some things that regulating simply can't fix by adjusting, because there are other problems elsewhere that need to be addressed...

Be wise, do it like Randy or me, build a Franken Datejust with TT or WG and you are all set...

Indeed, Oli. Don't have to worry about such things when working with genuine parts

It certainly seems unlikely that they would be sourcing a genuine El P to use in a rep - no-one here has heard of it so I would ask them for photos of the movt before you make any decision.

One way to check would be to get a pic of the older PAM60 - 40mm flyback and overlay them in Photoshop to see if the sub dials match up.

No one here? Really?

Man... Those are hot! I love the blued hands on the Cali dial!

My solid 18K/SS Rolesium DateJust frankenstein for comparison...

Genuine case, bezel, dial, crystal, crown, tube...

An excellent choice MG. You're gonna love it!

I believe Im going to try something with this rep and leave it alone meaning no mods and just enjoy it for what it is

You do know that genuine hands, dial, bezel, clasp etc. are all available for this watch, right?

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

wouldn't that open the door to proper AP royal oak chronos?

Unfortunately not

The classic AP Royal Oak Chronograph has the 12 hour counter @ 9:00, the 30 minute counter @ 3:00 and the 60 second counter @ 6:00 (like the 116520 Daytona).

However, the date also complicates things as well...

The prototype was introduced at the '02 SIHH...

Just get both. Since they're reps, the pair will still come in less than the cost of the gen Speedy.

Interesting. Very interesting.

A rep DD module would really open up a lot of opportunity for some VERY accurate watches (which I am sure would sell quite well).

Looks like Ponycar's pics. Should be fine.

As with any purchase, you should ask when the last service was, what (if any) parts were replaced, etc.

Oops... My bad

Please stone me

STONE you?
