no, that is just the hell we are all going thru. I could write you a two page list of things that enoying my on every watch ;-) btw: I don´t see the scratch... but I am jealous about the flat hat

Unbelieveble!!!

In the official pic the LV looks a bit better, but still ugly... Nothing to bring home ;-) But the Vuitton Style DJ might find his fans among women...

Nice one, the tudors are a bit underrepresented...

Actually the CG look really good to me, just compared them...

+1: I hate the big designs so much, they look all like a chinese bling bling masters had designed them. They just look cheap and fake...

UUUHHHHH the green one is hurting my eyes!!!! make it go away!!!! Please!!!

Hi! Found this a couple of days ago and want to share: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250595421945&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Don

UHH this one is a hyprid, it got screws AND is folded. So the bending way should also work on yours. for a lowrange rep this band is really nice.

That would explain why there is never a perfect rep!! Maybe we are on a big case right now ;-) OHHH and btw: very nice watch, congrats!!

On my MBW the ring was just too tight to fit over the Yuki crystal (which should be quite near to gen) so I shaped the innercircle of the ring a bit with sandpaper till it slip over the crystal more easily. shaped it step by step so it doesn

So as I ordered a 2824 I would need to get a H4, do you get this somewhere quite easily?

Yes! ;-)

Thanks for the reply, I also asked my self what the hourwheel is for? Could you please explan it?

no I meant in terms of the height, when you use eta hands on the eta movement... I mean if you lift the dial from the movement with a spacer the hands are lower on the dial, also the yuki dial has very high indices so the minute hand could scratch on the hour markers if the dial is lifted too high and the hour hand could scratch the dial ...

That Way above is the way when you get one of the expensive riveted bands with folded links. But if you got a normal rep with solid links bending is not the way. What I did with my tiny wrist was: get another one from eBay for 15$( doesn't Need to have a crown on the clasp As you already got a good clasp with the watch) and than take the 2 shorter pieces together to one bracelet. To clarify: one side of the bracelet is always shorter ( right or left from the clasp) depens on how you look at it. So take two Left pieces and just turn one around to make it a right piece. Also some of the rep riveted bands have screws in the first Links of the long side. But in my case that wasn't enough.

Case fits gen springbars, IMO you should just shape the insert to make it fit with a small gap and maybe polish the edges of the Case to make it look older, but out of the Box it is still perfect. ( to perfect in shape for a 30 Year old Watch )

actually mine had a retaining ring, but you might just clue it down with some shoe goo. not nice but effective, had to do so on my McQueen as the clark crystal is a bit smaller...

HERE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-) looking very very nice by the way! have you tried to fit the hands on, also?

an example of how good you could mix up the right coulor is the 10th hour marker on the dial above. it came of and I restored it with Revell and iodine. You see the coulors match nicely..

I think there are two ways: 1. the pearl is allready filled and you want it a bit darker/browner/vintage you could add a drop iodine from behind into the hole, which should coulor the pearl inside a bit. 2. You scratch everything out und mix iodine and Revell up to you desired colour and fill it into the pearl. Both ways should give you a new coulor, way number 2 should give you the exact coulor you want, way number 1 is try-and-error, but ether ways you can´t destroy anything, so you could try way 1 and if it fails try way 2... BTW: iodine also works perfect on hands ;-)

I use iodine tincture for vintage color (IMO one of the nicest patina looks) and Revell Night Color for base, as I want it with a bit of lume. But if you don´t want it to lume you could also use Chinese White, I guess. I had to drill my pearl as the hole was only like 0.2mm which looked stupid, after drilling it to 1.3mm(or so) it looked fine. But if your hole is wide enough (sounds funny) you could only scratch it out or add a drop on iodine.

Thank you! I hope you can see that there is a sad little yuki case waiting for a nice spacer to be fitted ;-) Just kidding, didn

What I did on a WSO990 pearl was drilling it out and filled it with new lume. worked fine and made a really ugly crappy pearl into a really nice Yuki-like pearl. looked like this afterwards:

but this guy also sold a horrible fake pam once, which made me think about the crowns...
