maybe we should just stick with gunnars way to handle it...

You are bringing back a smile on my face

They opened a gen band a couple of weeks ago and closed it as it didn´t came with a clasp and has nothing saying Rolex on it. But the dial and the band with clasp now saying rolex in different ways and I guess the value on the declaration is not saying everything over 20$ Actually the nostalgia-2000 store is open: http://shop.ebay.de/nostalgia-2000/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340 Or not? did I came in through a backdoor (previous bought items) and it is closed. mmmhhhhh this is going to last....

One of my first reps, not too acurate, but I like it alot and it keeps time for over 6 years now...

I think there are always two things to keep in mind: 1. The right watch, maybe there is on you always look at if you pass by a juwelier or you saw on TV or on another person. For me it was always the standart Submariner and even having one right now it is still the one I am looking at doing windowshopping 2. The right dealer, especially for the first order it is very important to make it an overall nice expirence. Just my 2 cents

Hi! As I am a bit frustrated right now and my wife wouldn

Thank you! I will take a look tomorrow. In fact I want to transfer a date wheel with overlay in to another Movement.

Hi! I might need to change the datewheel (not just the overlay) on two of my 2824s. Does anyone of you have hint or a pic for my on how to do that? Looking forward to your posts...

I would stick with bk and stay away from ETZ, was a 300

You need even MORE!

Get the Explorer, the milgauss is to big and everyone thinks its a fake DateJust (don´t know why, maybe thats the only watch they know). I got one with no wristtime at all...

Would love to see a pmwf and a ndt, also...

I hope to get a ETZ one in a couple of days and will test it in a 1680, will keep you informed...

Really nice thread!! To give it a even wide overview, let me add these pics: Upper left: Yuki 1680 Insert (shaped it a bit to fit nicer) Upper right: WSO990 with modded pearl (drilled out, widend and filled again) Down: New MBW from a 1680 (no mods) Pics can not be compared with yours, but I am not a big photoguy :-(

Hi! What overlay do you use? does the Yuki dial not accept the standard overlays for the eta movements?

Hi! Thanks for your info. Actually I did it just like you, I only had to cut it 4 times as I was a bit more of a coward But in the end it worked very smooth. After being such a McGyver I even mounted the movement in the yuki case with some Rodico as a movement holder and it also worked like a charm. worst part was placing the hands, as always. Now I am only waiting for the datedisc overlay and the spacer and will do the whole stuff again, but on the other hand I could wear the watch on the weekend (with the date 2 mm aside :-( ) And guess what the movement is keeping time perfectly OTB

You mean in terms of authentacy wearing such a watch? I think I would go with a rep of the old one.

I will try my best with the MBW stem as a blueprint BTW: I already looked for eta stems on eBay ;-)

Mmmmhhhh, I wonder: If you get a rep anyways would you go with a rep of the old 1970 one or with a rep of the new 2010 one?

I have a MBW 1680 with a 2824 here, so the stem lenght might be the same... This is going to cost me a lot of my weekend, as always, hope there is a good movie on this evening for Mrs. Gorilla

Good morning! I just received one of the last parts for my Yuki 1680, a fresh ETA 2824-2 movement from switzerland. First thing was to mount the Tudor rotor and it looks fantastic ;-) But as I am not a big fan of try and error on this project I would ask you how long your 1680 stemps are and how you shorten them. Thank you very much for your help in advance...

Still St. Paddys day here ;-)

Really nice look, but it is also too big, again :-(

I could like the Explorer II, but then again those big hourmarkers... Bigger is just not better...
