  1. It's on the auto wind assembly. How easy is it to remove the auto-wind assembly? Ay tutorials or videos out there?
  2. I picked up a gen 1570 movement with a missing jewel. Where does one go about sourcing a replacement? Would a watchsmith have these handy? Thanks for the advice!
  3. Bonesey, very nice. Nothing like vintage!
  4. I don't think it's a dirty movement. Recently serviced by The Zigmeister. It looks like the seconds hand was not able to clear and after some time, became crooked. I will try to take a pic. I guess it will need to be straightened out.
  5. The other day, I noticed that my second hands was stuck at a time when it had to clear both the minute and hour hands at the same place. I reset the chrono's and noticed that now, it's a little crooked. The tail lines up perfectly at 6 o'clock but the the arrow is now over at the 1 second mark. I tried to cheat and stop the sweep hand at 12 but now the register at 3 is obviously 1 second ahead!! And, the tail is slightly off. How does this happen?
  6. Ditto. It's not working... I'm sure the RWG crew will be investigating shortly.
  7. Sorry to hear that man. I think LinkedIn is the way to go to get visibility. Btw, what's a motivational letter?
  8. There's a Holiday Inn near Chinatown - strangely, not too far from Canal and their cheap reps. I stay there all the time. It's not a Palace but its relatively central and close to the subways.
  9. 8 years! That's amazing. It still looks new like its been sitting on a safe all these years.
  10. Communication is not the best as others have said. However, this is completely unacceptable. If I recall, he is a Western Union type of guy in terms of payment. Not too much recourse, I reckon.
  11. That is correct. I'm not sure how he builds them but I suspect it's based on the lug measurements and shape. Thanks. I will review.
  12. Send them to Phong for re-engraving.
  13. I'm looking for endlinks for DJ 16000 case from Etur on TRF. I think he's made some for 16200 cases but never for a 16000. If you're telling me the lugs are significantly different, I'm not sure what I can tell him!
  14. Is there a difference between a 16000 case and a16200 case? Thanks in advance!
  15. Nice way to remember a friend... That's really cool!
  16. That Roamer will probably go much higher. That first one is from the 40's and 50's..
  17. I'm always amazed at the current price of these movements. I wish I had a few hundred NOS stashed away somewhere...
  18. Once again, can we identify these people? We know there are always scammers, but, when we actually have one identified and guilty, lets out this mother f**ker. Seriously.
  19. Wow! Another one, eh?,
  20. They are rare, blue, different and have a distinguished history. Oh, and they have Rolex DNA.
  21. I would love to find a French day dial...
