Hahaha....

Another outstanding watch from an outstanding member !

Hi, welcome ,too! One thing that is very helpful, is our search function bar in the top right corner. When you use it, you can find the following: http://www.rwgforum.com/forum/230-watches-clothing-accessories/ There you will find the recommended dealer section. Enjoy, Cheers, J

Hi, Welcome here mate. Can you post a picture of this watch? Best, J

"Yukis Enlargement Ring"..... First, I thought that has nothing to do with watches...

ok, Domi just replied to my questions and sent me this pic - thanks to Francisco for his support on this! We need 4 of the marked wheels including the bearing jewels ( rubies?)to build one Daytona. The challenge is now, to source the parts. Does anybody have connections to the factories, or do you know who could give me support? If anyone has a clou or could source the parts, drop me a PM - I will pay a commission for it! Thank you, J

Thanks guys for your help. All infos sent to Domi - since he is a busy guy, he will come back to me as soon as he can. I think sourcing the parts will be the hardest part in this game. I will keep you updated. Thank you, Joerg

Thank you BT, I just read your post regarding the noob from Jan 25th. I will contact BK and ask for it. Thx and best, J

hello, found this topic searching for an accurate TT Subfor my dad´s birthday. Ruprekt, did you find something you could recommend? or anybody else who is involved in the TT Sub theme? We all know that BK´s one is out of production, but is there nothing good out there? hollow mid links or wrapped ones must/should exist, but where? Thank you for every recommendation on this! Best, J

Wow...nearly 12 months... Patient guy, our Peter... ;-)

I am patient too, and I hope everybody else. I will buy the better version as soon as it is available... J

I respect your opinion, and as you just said in your graphite treatment thread, the first watch is still running. Perfect. But why not give the exchange of some parts a try, since Domi is convinced that it works? I mean, some wheels cannot cost a house, and of course the watchsmith's labour and the watch itself. I think that sourcing the parts is the more challenging game. But there are also dealers and member that have access to the factories or to the parts, so I am not worried about that at this stage. And I must say, I thought that there is more interest in this sec@6 theme. But the thread is young, and maybe someone is willing to send some pics, and then we need a source for the parts. I think it is a good possibility to try it out - if it doesn't work, it's just my money that is burnt, and I can go on to the next project. Best,J

Great to hear that. It would be interesting, who else has done the graphite treatment, and what the results are.

Good point, but which EU country would that be? UK? the netherlands?

Freddy, thank you! Of course I have read your graphite thread, and I think that Domi also tried the graphite treatment successfully. But: what if the requested parts could lead to a more reliable movement? I can only tell you what the essence of my chat with Domi was. And this was about the AP parts described above. You are much more specialist then me, so if you think that these mods won't do the trick, please tell me and I save my $$. But if the wheels used in the AP are a solution, I would buy a dead sec@6, try to source the parts, let build a Daytona by Domi and write about the result on RWG. All I need are the pics, and a Daytona Every feedback is welcome Cheers, J

Thank you, just contacted Francisco J

Guys, Last week I had a long chat with Domi, regarding several new projects. One thing concerned the unreliable and already discussed Daytona sec@6 movements. Domi told me, that he could make the movement reliable, and since this an interesting point, I would like to support him. He already modded a sec@6 movt with some parts of an AP sec@12 module, tested it and it worked flawless. The reason is, that he used parts and wheels from the AP movements and exchanged them with the parts of the daytona. He said, that some wheels of the AP are pivoted ( don't know if this the correct word), and they would make the movement reliable although the extra gears. The problem is, that he has no picture available from the needed parts, and this is the point where I need your help: Can anyone send me pictures of a dismantled AP module, where you can see the wheels and parts? I am in contact with Domi, and he can help to find out and name the parts that we need. At the moment, he needs two AP modules, to build one reliable Daytona. I am willing to spend cash, but not buy two sec@12 APs to build one sec@6 movt. If we know the parts, we can try to source them and try to make one of the most desireable reps reliable. If you have non working Daytonas which are in a great shape ( white dials with champagne subdials prefered) and you want to sell them, I am willing to buy them from you, and finance the project. I will also cover the costs of the needed parts ( I will wait for your pictures and Domis parts list) and will pay Domi to build us a sec@6 Daytona that works. of course, this would not solve the case issue, but who cares? Would you support this project? Cheers, J

Gents, Does anybody know somebody that could help forward a watch from canada to EU/ Austria? I need the safe way, Austrian customs are p.i.t.a..... Any help would be appreciated! Thank you, J

Oh, and expect the costs between $700 and 800...

Hi, I have been looking for a YM since a couple of months and can guarantee you, that there is no alternative to BK's YM! I collected funds and contacted BK 3 weeks ago. He replied that the Yachtmaster is no longer available, since he ran out of parts because the demand after the YM was high in the last weeks. At the moment ( and I guess also in the future) the BK/WM9 YM cannot be sourced as new. I did a search and posted in the WTB section, and was able to source a used BK YM. Take a look at mine in the photography corner. Good luck, Cheers, J

That is exactly how my bullhead was looking before restauration

But the one on josh's site states 28800 - so: But although a budget beauty

Correct, but wasn't the 5512 a low beat movement? Or do I mix smth up?

And guess who will get a gen/gen/gen black one....
