Yes it is. I think one would need to know the exact distance in order to specify the exact magnification factor. You could specify a certain magnification for a lens but that would be at a certain focal distance...

The last time I read ofrei's disclaimer they said they wouldn't publish the mag power because it all depended on the distance from the mag to the date wheel. Have they changed their position about this?

Don't think I've ever seen a WC go this far without a sub, so here goes...

M, you're gonna force me to raid the savings account, you realize that, right!!?? Although TT's combo is quite "yummy" looking I personally prefer a vintage BMW and Tudor!

Sub kinda day...

Hmmm, I need to re-evaluate...

Not so sure about that, the inner "shield" looks to be brass while I think I remember reading the gen is a soft iron composition. I'll set it on top of a big-a$$ magnet for a few days when I get it back together and see if it will either still run or work as a really cool refrigerator magnet! I've always wondered why they just didn't make the movements from non-ferrous materials and be done with it...

TeeJay, I guess so. This was my final "test" before I engraved M's case back.

Let's get this show on the road! This was the case-back guinea pig for M's project...

M, if the stain bothers you to much just stick it back in the mail - you know where to send it! Some day I'll treat my dial to a gen case but so far I haven't found any "reasonable" ones.

Old faithful for today and tomorrow...

Absolutely fantastic looking watch! I think that you, acting as general contractor, were able to get all of the right pieces of the puzzle to come together with perfection as usual. Thanks to M for allowing me a conspiratorial role in this project, he always comes up with fun stuff to do. I'm already trying to guess what he'll come up with to top this one!

Must represent Tudor...

Just back from a 5 day motorcycling vacation so the "quartz" goes back in the box and out with the mechanical! Gotta make sure Tudor is represented...

Wearin' old faithful today...

I guess I'll have to represent the Tudor contingent...

Today was: And tomorrow will be:

Still with small and simple...

K, me too, it's MY most comfortable watch.

I'll jump on the Quartz bandwagon with TeeJay. T, I'll bite, what is the contraption in your picture?

I'll need to measure the ID of the rehaut on these 34mm Tudor cases I have...

I have a 5512 from Josh and at under $100 it's good "bang for the buck". The major glaring issue (to me) is the stubby CGs. I "trimmed" the crown in the lathe and enlarged the lug holes and I think it's totally "wearable". Since this pic I also put on a slightly better crystal as well.

Ranger time!
