I thought that my growing camera collection could be quite an addition to the Radi in the pics.Whether I was right or not is for you to judge The pics below were born to try out my new glass - Carl Zeiss 135mm f:3.5 and from what I can see it stands up to the name 1 2 - The Janekmod brothers 3 4 5 6 7

Thanks JKay ; ) I thought that my growing camera collection could be quite an addition to the Radi in the pics.Whether I was right or not is for you to judge The pics below were born to try out my new glass - Carl Zeiss 135mm f:3.5 and from what I can see it stands up to the name 1 2 - The Janekmod brothers 3 4 5 6 7 As usual i'd be grateful for any opinions on both the pics and the watch itself

It's my take on the 3646 with a bit of a twist - the markers are black.It looks quite awesome with the sandwich dial ; ) The watch is running a Molly 3602 and features a strap by BlueRadish from HF. Pics are taken with some of it's bigger cousins ; ) What does the community think?

I often find many broken/damaged watches for pennys around car boot sales.It's a shame for them to end up in the bin,so I usually buy them. I've cleaned and oiled some of the movements here - few of them do not work (Rotary has a broken balance spoke, Oris - I didn't have time to look into what's wrong with it and the Cortebert,simply because i've never taken a bumper apart before and this one might be just to fancy for me to start learning on ) .I didn't clean any of the outside plates, since i don't know what to use in order to preserve the rhodium plating on the plates. These watches, even though tired by life can tick again or at least please the eye: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 This one is not saved from scrap, i did however want to take a pic of it,just for fun ; ) Enjoy and let me know what you think ; ) If anyone wants full resolution pics, let me know ; )

I'm still experimenting, looking for the right approach to macro photography. I'd be grateful for any opinions : ) 1 2 3 4 5 6

Just how i like it ; ) I like the blacks dominating in my photos.That's just how I am

Let the experimentation begin 1 2 3 4

It certainly looks like an St-16, which is very Miyota-ish. If it winds in both directions and the movement hacks when you pull the crown out, it's an st-16.Otherwise, it's probably some miyota. Here's a pic of the ST-16 in a Sea Gull watch: Edit: although, thinking about it, i don't think i've ever seen an st-16 with a 24 hour complication. It might be something by BWAF (Beijing watch factory).Unless someone modded the st-16 as the case is with e.g.st-25.

the first one has a sea gull st-16 movement - it's actually very good and pretty damn sturdy.

Its nice to see that you went with the white markers on the dial, the fake aged yellow ones just don't look right. Nice project you have there : )

Personally,i think it might be worth about 50 bucks. But what's the point of keeping this kind of junk in your house?I'll take it off your hands, i'll even be graceful enough to pay the PP :tu: :tu: Seriously now, i think the vintage Rolex Chronos are the best looking watches ever made and i will stand with this opinion. However, parts like hands or dial can significantly change the price if they're not original. Don't get me wrong, it's still worth a bloody bomb,even if it was "tweaked" in its day Congrats on the great piece again.Personally I would keep it and pass it on to the "offsprings", but it's your call (-;

It was hand-made by my mate on one of the Polish watch forums (-;

I do It might not be with the spirit of "perfect reps looking like gens",but i'd like to put all the things i like from subs over the years into one watch.If it doesn't work - it doesn't.However, i do feel that for me it might just cut it (-;

I used cotton buds soaked in acetone and a toothpick to remove smaller prints. The black paint is intact. However, i know that some dials have a thinner coating of paint, and once you put acetone on them, you strip them to bare metal - as the case is with newer MQJ dials. I have another dial exactly like the one in the pictures above and i'd gladly swap it for a rep Sub dial

And whats the fun in that? I dont want it to be a perfect rep, i want it to be my own hommage to Rolex.
