  1. Very well said , DSN is an excellent dealer

    This is the funniest thread i have seen here yet : P .. first DSN is a very great guy to deal with ... i have bought a lot of parts and watches from him and only once had a problem ... i did not post it ... i emailed him and he sent me a replacment and extras to make up for it ... you cannot ask for a better person to deal with...

    as for your incabloc woes ... incabloc a type of spring in the spring system designed many many years ago... the setup you have is a newer type of spring but still an "incabloc" shock system..DSN did not lie when he said it was an incabloc shock system .. because it is !!! it is just a newer Novodiac spring (better spring) so you ended up with a newer better spring system and your sooking about it ...

    if the look of the old incabloc spring is so important ... buy an asian copy because they all look like the old incabloc... and if its because you think it is a better more accurate system or if you can actually tell the difference when the case back is on .. then my friend you are more of a seasoned watch enthusiast than most of us here so what in the hell are you doing buying reps lol ....

    your lucky you bought from a dealer like DSN that actually sends you a swiss movement when they say they are and not an asian clone ......

    sorry guys i know i do not have many posts here ... i mostly read and buy parts and watches from you guys ... lol but i had to chime in here ... it was just too silly not to comment...

    cheers !

  2. Congratulations for your excellent work , really fantastic

    Enjoy it

    Hi All

    Finally completed my T3 project, the watch I have wanted in my collection for a long time.

    This is made up of 3 different T3 watches and was really not an easy task.

    First I purchased a T3 from Paul as he had the correct size case with a seconds @9.00 movement and correct screws in the crown guards.

    2nd purchase was a T3 from King with the new seconds at 12.00 movement with a small incorrect case (53mm), and 3rd was a local purchase as it had the

    correct hands and charcoal grey dial with black sub dials. (very lucky with this one)

    The seconds at 12.00 movement was fine for transplanting the correct dial and hands no problem so far, and the movement

    was serviced at this time.

    When the movement was fitted into the correct size case this was the first problem it was a little to thick due to the correctly recessed date wheel on the seconds at 12.00 movement so in order to accomodate the movement I had to make a .5mm rubber gasket between the watch and the case back in order to give enough space for the auto wind to work, and also adjust the movement retaining ring in order to fix the retaining screws.

    OK so far, but the next problem the crown stem also did not line up with the movement due to the depth of the case. I had to drill out a new hole for the crown and stem and fill the existing hole with metal filler.

    (This cannot be seen as the crown covers the modification.)

    Then I could not use the existing crown stem as it was to short so I had to purchased a new stem form the UK

    FINALLY i bought a genuine strap to complete the exercise

    This was not an easy task but I am pleased with the end result, but please do not attempt this crazy mod unless you have a lot of patience !!!!!!!

    Thanks for looking

    Richard
