There should be a setting for image size. These later pics are better, but I would bet the camera is capable of larger image sizes - 1024x768 pixels is about prime for most screen sizes.

Ceramic GMT Tuesday

Ditto Flex. That is the cheapest/easiest approach.

While the cat's away, huh? Great pic of a pair of classics.

Anything from Bergeon should be fine (ofrei, julesborel, cousinsuk, etc). I would steer clear of the cheap off-branded tools.

Wearing my Tudor today

It looks like the Eurotimez crew is on this afterall, but a word of caution regarding lost package claims with the post office...... In my experience, it usually takes the post office weeks (if not months) to research a lost package. In the end, they almost always just tell you to contact the shipper to have them register a claim at their end, which results in more wasted time (& no package). Once a package goes wayward in the mail, I just write it off.

Bergeon used to sell a dial foot soldering machine, but it was very expensive & I have not seen it listed in any of their recent catalogs. A couple years ago, I tried to construct 1 based on the 1 in this book, but it fried the business side of every dial I tested it on

Although this will work, it is not a permanent solution because, eventually, the adhesive on dial dots/double-sided tape will loosen & the dial will shift its position. In addition, if not carefully applied, you also run the risk of getting adhesive into the date-change components, which will then cause the date change to either malfunction or function abnormally slow. The only permanent way to install a dial is with its dial feet locked in place within the movement. It is possible to reposition dial feet, but it requires a special soldering device (made to solder dial feet onto dials) & very few watchmakers have the device or know how to properly reposition the feet without damaging the dial face. And before anyone asks, I do not have the device (though I did try to construct 1 once, unsuccessfully), nor do I know a watchmaker who does.

Saturday evening

Yes, it did. I completely forgot that I had swapped it out for 1 of DW's steel bezels.

Great pic.

I guess I should give others a shot before I comment.

White Christmas

Ask any woman how to remove nail polish with nail polish remover. The procedure is the same. Pure ammonia (from your local supermarket) removes AR on eyeglass lenses similarly. - easy & fast.

Whatever they sell in the supermarket & I also use it to clean (unassembled) watch parts (including cases).

I have removed AR very simply with ammonia, which is why eyeglass vendors always warn against cleaning AR-coated eyeglass lenses with Windex or other ammoniated glass cleaners.

Besides the lack of auto-wind module, I believe the 7760 has only 17 jewels (to the 7750's 24) & uses a slightly different pillar plate (same dimensions, but excludes the fittings for an auto-wind module), but is otherwise the same. Watchtime did an in-depth exposé on the Valjoux 7750 in 2008 (I do not remember the specific issue) that is worth having if you can locate copy. It is very easy if you have the tools & competence to remove the movement from the case & then remove & disassemble the auto-wind module (3 screws). Otherwise, I would definitely leave this to a competent watchsmith, who should be able to complete the work in a matter of minutes.

Everything in/on my 3-year old MBW 1665 (the only remaining MBW part is the middle case) is now gen except for the dial (which is an aftermarket replacement that I purchased on ebay), caseback (Phong) & crystal (Clarks)
