Like those old 70s compass style watches... the Hyts do a lovely hydro watch (liquid powered movement) 5th one down is one Here are few more ..

Sneed? I aint heard his name for a while... Much as I would like to be in the second city I am in UK mate

Well as its quite a new version I would try going back to dealer mate..it might mean sending watch back or maybe just CG However there may be someone out there with a spare lever/CG that you can swap the RB out of and fit to yours.. dont worry about whether its SS etc as you can easily change colur with oil mod.. I have one somewhere but its from one of the first newer better PAMs so I am not sure whether it ill fit that to be honest.. For me first off is dealer... Or if you aint bothered then try filling it with that plumbers hardener paste or similar (you could even use a 2 part glue I reckon) clean and rub down and colour it with marker pen...

I always like looking at those sunburst blue dials .... So what are the bootie plans mate ?

Thanks for reply mate I guess we have different idea of details then.... but from my point of view the lugs need some work as do the pillows... of course you cant do anything about the hole position and size but the lugs need a little TLC shape wise across the top profile... Nice work though mate Out of interest mate.....Whats your gen refence for the high CP... Thanks

Address sent send me what you got ..

The biggest problem will likely be that once you look to try a watch on that you will take yours off...now if you put it in your pocket then you have a problem as it creates suspicion and if you put it down as you would in normal circumstances I can guarantee the sales person will ask to look at it...especially if its a nice one.. So if I were you I would wear a gen cheapo (Timex etc borrowed etc) or none at all and use that as part of your report on there service... ie they then noticed my watch or were looking at my wrist ..clothes shoes etc and judging me and I felt uncomfortable as they sized me up and I felt they werent interested blah blah... It is a good way of making ADS change thier attitude to guys weraing nothing or something cheaper than their own range !! If you wear nothing you acn say you are looking with a certain budget as mum or dad or someone is treating you to a nice watch ..or they have had some luck..lotto etc etc and want to treat you.. there are 101 reasons you can give the impression you are serious buyer and why you wont buy that day.. So NO you dont have to go to AD wearing a rep !!

And as an after thought I recommend that anyone with one gets the aftermarket wires and screws as they are much better than the rep ones..especially the screws.. There are a few places that sell them.. if in US then Panatime is an option Or if EU then search on eBay there is a UK seller with them ..'watch obsession'... I have had both but prefer the WO ones though they could be same source but updated since I had Panatimes... not sure But defintely an improvement especially with the 'bic mod' on the wires..

I will keep my eyes open mate but cant say I have seen a 347 or 321 about... generally its the more mundane 300s dial that gets offered around...

Looks great mate...love it on that last strap...any more info on that one please? I have just got some 6154s from R myself..not sure I have confidence to start the case work needed on it but might practice on an old DSN ... still trying to talk myself into it Tell me mate why did you use Adrians Moljina movement ring rather than the one R sells with the case for the 3601/02 ? Looks lovely nice work

Lighting ST There is a review of this maiale dialed watch on RG TBH I aint seeing anything special especially with the dial and no real cutouts as mentioned no where near gen in that sense And a typical H CG from that pic

They have been using them in the older 88s etc ...I had a couple in past... as a movement mate I can only say they are pretty robust and mine were good workhorses but I cant say more than that mate sorry.. I can tell you the flaws with the 89 if that would help Contact Mike he has done a lot with GMTs..so has Sam and Kylan...

No mate the latest are pretty poor in comparison... especially the ST19s There is an inbetween version I guess you would call it the V1.5 but basically it was the left over parts of the V1 and some of the newer parts from V2 most notably the crown and case.. plus there were variations on lume and AR etc as I mention but thats not version related more consistency I was just looking at my V1 as I havent had it out the box in while... I think its time to sell it as I never wear it...

I take it back its a V1 The lume issue could be one of 2 things Variation in consistency Or Simply age ( you will find all reps lume don't stay as strong after a year or two. It's been discussed in respect of the 111s etc but is equally as valid with an even older model like these V1s AR is possibly weaker because of consistency again or you are comparing it to the newer better quality AR that makers are doing Howeve I can say the AR on mine is pretty close to gen setting aside crystal quality and lume is still strong but not as long lasting as it was.

Those pics arent great for the tells mate but solely going by the back shot of the crown its a V2 a7750 Flaws vary between the V1 a7750 (plus some V1 batch variations) V2 a7750 and V2 ST19

I got a 2mm you can have mate..PM me with your address

sin

If you are concerned about that then you must not like the rest of that movement either given all its other flaws...

ROFL

Weights

Its nice to see you coming back to your OP mate with an update and explaination..I am glad it worked out and well done Be nice to see a pic of the after and hopefully better than the before Enjoy and your right better off not tempting fate

There are a few Tutes on removing mate

Just like his Dad

There are some threads on RG etc looking at these V2 288K KBHs is throwing me off given the crown and pushers... so if those havent been modded it looks V1.5 but its not the V2 as yours is
