Just saw Adeodatus post before me. I was thinking along the same lines that Doxut was Doxa's line as Tudar was for Rolex.

The only interesting thing I could find on Duxot is: IWC Moderator Join Date Oct 2006 Location United States Posts 4,029 Re: Heard of DUXOT? Is it related to Doxa?

All the watches that I did see or find were on ebay. If the watch case is the same diameter and comes with the rice bead bracelet with the diver extension, maybe able to turn it into a rep Doxa.

Great review of the bracelet. I sent you a pm.

Great looking watch box.

Sellita Movements- Anyone Repowering with the SW200?
cigarben replied to OldCorvette's topic in General Discussion
I have 2 SW200 that are in a couple Invicta watches I had bought several years ago and they have been running strong. I would like to put one in sub that has asian 2836. Don't know about the spacer ring though. Might have to find or make one. -
I have a Josh perfect clones Sub c that I would like to get the crystal replaced. What would be the part number to use on CousinsUK to get a Sternkreuz crystal? Thanks.

I owe thanks to the ball-and-chain for this...

Great watch box!! Can the blue watch take a gen crystal? -
Be careful with the SW200 based models
cigarben replied to txcollector's topic in General Discussion
I have a Tissot Seastar 1000 with a 2824 ETA and I can fill it winding every time I screw down the crown. I also have 2 Invicta watches with the SW200 in them and they screw down easily with no winding. Guess it all depends on the quality of the workman ship. -
Maybe 600 to include SL dial and hands.
-
Hope you find out the info. Trying to date some of the older pens can be quite difficult.
-
Thanks Sneed.

I had bought 2 Silix budget watches beginning of the year. A classic sub and ladies datejust. If you want a watch to beat around, you can't go wrong for the price.
-
That's a nice build Sneed. Where did you get the case from?

Sellita Sw200 or Seagull ST2130. Where to buy?
cigarben replied to ryaku's topic in General Discussion
You can try CousinsUk or Ofrie. Here is an Invicta with the movement in it that can be had for a good price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Invicta-Men-s-Sea-Hunter-Swiss-Sellita-SW200-Automatic-26J-Black-Poly-Strap-1073-/110793367639?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19cbcca057. I did find several 2824 movements on the bay for around 130-150. -
Those are great writers. My ex-father in law has a 1947 Sheaffer. It was valued at 425. There are several links richardspens.com & penhero.com ought to be very useful in IDing pens and possible dates of manufacture. Here is somemore info I found Sheaffer didn't have date codes on their pens, but generally speaking, the triumph nibs were introduced in the early 40's. These could be either vacuum or lever filled. Thinline (touchdowns) were introduced in '49, and snorkles in '52. Hope this helps you out.

omg, my pearl has fallen off my submariner, what can I do
cigarben replied to alifizan's topic in The Rolex Area
I think Watchmaker or Ofrie might have one. Not sure but you can send me the watch and I will wear it proudly without the pearl -
That's a great looking pen. I use several fountain pens myself. Couple Pelikans, Hero 100 and Waterman. Here is a link on some Sheaffer pens. http://www.pendemonium.com/pens_sheaffer_vintage.htm From what I can tell, the pens all have genuine parts. Was your pen's bladder replaced with aftermarket?
-
Now that is a very nice looking watch!! I would mind having one of those. Any TD selling this?

Anyone make a Seiko Dive "Tuna" Rep?
cigarben replied to jacob_coulter's topic in General Discussion
That's a cool looking watch. I like how the bezel is semi protected from bumps. How tall is that watch? 20mm? -
Josh is a great TD. I had bought 2 watches from him in the beginning of the year. Communication, transaction and QC pics went well.

I'm ready to clean my watch movements now
cigarben replied to redwatch's topic in General Discussion
You can also use Windex and distilled water for a cleaning solution. I can't remember if I found the mix on this forum or cruising the net. Mix it 1:1. It works great and I use it in my cheapy Walmart cleaner. -

Look for spare vac tubes also. -
I buff/polish my on bracelets. They look better than when they were new from the dealers. Here is a great thread by Gioarmini on how to do it.
