can you post the link. Checking out the seller is as important as the pics. These reps are so good its bloody hard to tell if pics aren't perfect

Cheers

Great work Rolo, this is one of the hardest reps to get 'right' and you've done a splendid job. C'mon guys give the man some credos, i built two of these so i know how hard they are to do ..

Great pics too !

Thanks for sharing

P.

I take photos for a living and i reckon you nailed it .. really nice pics of a fantastic watch ..

A rep watch is worthless in the eyes of an insurance company. They will not pay out on rep watches, what do you think Rolex would say to AXA insurance if they paid out $1000,S  To a person for his rep watches.

Well yes of course that is obvious but martijip in his post above said "I had the same, they stole my whole collection a year or 3 back. Didn't get my watches back but I had a very good insurance" Doesn't say if they were all reps or gens but as this is a rep forum you would think he had some reps in there.

Maybe you just have to [censored] the insurance company in the first place ...

Cheers

P.

Yeah sorry to hear that too, that's an awful thing to happen.

But how do you insure an expensive rep or an even more expensive franken ? What information do insurance companies require to insure your watches ?

Cheers

Interesting theory. It doesn't seem logical that it would fit under the gear and still work. But I'm not going to take it apart again to check. lol

 

Has this actually been done? I'd love to see some pictures.

Here's a link ...

http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/150843-fs-gen-eta-2893-2-gmt-with-flat-3-dwo-and-gen-crown/?hl=%2Bdatewheel#entry1153413

I have just moved to Australia so don't have the pics on hand right now but here is a 2893-2 gmt movement i sold a while back with the date wheel under the GMT gear. I have a 1675 on my wrist with the same set up

Cheers

P.

No, it's still a very tight fit. First problem is the extra gear that runs the GMT hand sits higher than the date wheel so you have the problem of the date date wheel overlay has to be very thin and installed very carefully. If it's too low it hangs on the GMT gearing and if it's too high it hangs on the bottom of the dial. And you can't raise the dial or you loose the necessary clearance for the GMT hand on the dial.

 

You can see here what I mean about it sitting on the gear:

 

I received the new GMT hand that I had ordered yesterday so I took mine apart again and spent a lot of time finessing the date wheel overlay and sanded down the back of the dial a bit and put it back together. This time I got it looking much better with the GMT hand running perfectly just a hair above the dial indices and the date wheel tight up to the dial back but still turning. The GMT hand looks pretty good now but I wouldn't recommend this unless you have a lot of patience. The sanding down of the dial I think made the biggest difference. Also it may make the date wheel overlay move easier even if it happens to brush the back of the dial.

 

Of course sanding down the back of the dial means removing the dial feet so then you need to glue the dial carefully onto the dial spacer and then when you get it all lined up and working you need to glue the dial spacer to the movement.

 

It ain't easy! I sure as h*ll wouldn't do it on someone else's watch.

Just been reading this interesting post. You can have the datewheel overlay run under the GMT gear by taking off the numbers and paint on the 2893 datewheel. This gives you enough clearance so you don't have to shave the dial.

Ivory on Ivory, hope you got a CITES certificate for that

Nice watch

Cheers

P.

Congratulations to seller and buyer! But I still want to see the required forum sales details for posterity's sake. Non negotiable.

Hi Nanuq,

Hi all, just wanted to post some pics of my Phong cased Tudor 9411 snowflake as its winter .....  btw this is also for sale so pm if you interested

Thanks for looking

P.

Sorry to even post this. I had blinders on. I have a gen 76100 and thought the case was close but quickly realized all the many many flaws.

Don't be sorry, its good you posted it. The more people know about the good, the bad and the ugly the better ...

This is an old rep from way before the days of super subs and maybe even this forum ...

Cheers

Wow ! i love the blue bezel insert and no cyclops. I gotta give Mr Young a call i reckon.

Good job thanks for sharing

P.

i have a set of 1675 hands including the GMT hand for the DG movement. PM me if you want them

Cheers

P.

Wow ! i wonder how he sourced all those amazing NOS pieces . But what a bunch of cocks threadcrapping his sales post. Little did they know, they would feel foolish now ..

Thanks for sharing

P.

i have for vintage versions. Pls PM me

thanks

P.

TC didn't have any more of his LV inserts. He's currently in China working on his TC Gen like LV insert.

Mmm that sounds promising, your Clarks isn't too bad though. Nice watch, congrats

Cheers

P.

Yeah i thought there was some history with you and this movement which is why i asked. I remember now. But you procured another if i remember correctly ...

How come you changed the bezel insert ?

Well crazy if somebody actually buys it for this price. What price do they actually sell for Freddy any idea?

Cheers

P.

I had this problem before and used clear silicon to cement it down which has the added bonus of water proofing it too.

You can buy from hardware stores but make sure its the clear variety. You won't need very much so take it easy just make sure there are no gaps between the ring and the case.

Its cleans up real easy too

Hope it helps

Cheers

P.

Looks like this one to me...
