Thanks By-Tor. BTW - ND Trading´s glow-in-the-dark bakelite bezel - I love it and am looking for a historically correct rep case (with lug-holes, without cg etc) to house it...and a red/black DW for 2836-2..amd old GMT hand... Sure do hope you can answer this! Sorry for asking so much and never helping people with similar problems, but that goes with the territory when one doesn´t know enough... Thanks, MG EDIT: Or should one simply buy the ND trading version at approx USD 4000 and get it over with? Seems kinda pricy, but I don´t know the cost of getting the right parts and making one from scratch...might be just as costly?

Hi all, somehow I

Can´t wait.

Hi, wow! thats nice!! BTW, I

Looking at his (nice) pieces, it suddenly struck me that the trend towards smaller watches is well on its way. MG

Thanks ubi. MG

Hi, The vintage 8mm crown has got me smitten! However the NDT version is too pricy for my project. Would be grateful for tips on cheaper versions of the phat crown, http://rolex.watchprosite.com/show-nblog.post/ti-540381/fi-732/ best regards to all, MG

Hi, Think I

Love it!! That watch tells tales. MG

Wow!!!!!!!!! Amazing! MG

Hi all, A movie teaser of interest for Panerai lovers out there? Deadly serious Norwegian Ninjas patrolling the fjords on human torpedoes with rebreather suits and harpoon rifles... Click the sniper rifle to play clip... Enjoy, MG

Damn! That

merry xmas everyone I agree that this reeks of scam. However, on a more general note, the notion of RWG having a "designated fund" from which to buy either prospective "too good to be true" items or otherwise put certain dealers to an "official" test would be an interesting service. This would allow the forum to get information faster, and fewer people would get hurt. Maybe RWG should give some known, good and trusted superuser members a sum of money to use every year on risky deals. A scam purchase - well at least it´s not boring - on the contrary, its interesting. I suggest the membership cost increases in order to accommodate this service? MG

Cool. A very tool-style watch

You are right. The linked page says its an automatic 6497 gmt movement - so thats what I ordered. Damn, shouldve known better! Thanks a lot for that clarification Greg. Wish I was a watchsmith, what a great skill it must be to possess. Aftyer years here on RWG I still don´t know don´t know my cannon pinion from my elbow. More noob questions to come... MG

Hi, I recently bought some of these "asian 6497 gmt movements" from JacksonTse: http://www.jacksontse.com/mm083.html mostly due to price. Also, they need to fit 6497 cases so I thought I

Opps, I mean 1655, anyway, thanks for reading, I thought I might use this cheapie for a "first 1655 project". Worth a damn? http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_4&products_id=247 I have a 2836-2 movement lying around - will a watchsmith easily be able to swap movements? Kind regards, MG

It would probably add to the entertainment-value of coloured lume if the secs was lumed in the colour fo the hand!!! Especially with the upcoming X-mas-tree-season and all! MG

If you want a cheaper alternative, here is a titanium case from Jackson (trustworthy seller of cheap homage watches and parts) http://www.jacksontse.com/mm052.html Its for 6497 movement. He only has the caseback shown but I believe the case accepts other casebacks. MG

Hi alligoat, what kind of movement does the Chronotac have? Thanks!! MG

Prop hand?

Hi Donerix - Would be nice to see a comparison between DSNs "small" Egiziano and the Fiddy if you would be so kind? Thanks and kind regards, MG

Hi sssurfer, good luck with your project! Hope to see pics when its done! MG

Dammit, that blasting really adds to the watch dude!! MG

Hi sssurfer - Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this! Best regards, MG
