Which factory makes (made) the Yuki 3135?
watchguy51 replied to watchguy51's topic in The Rolex Area
I'll revive my old thread here from a couple years back... still wondering about this -

Unfortunately not. Worth about €20 + shipping.

I'm also more into sports watches. The Vacheron 6782, one of my favourite references, used this movement. I think it'd be nearly impossible to get parts though. However, there are plenty of Vacheron dials on eBay... I'd just build a completely custom piece with this movement and a VC dial.

Urgent: Any modders have a sub mid case they can re-shape for me?
watchguy51 replied to watchguy51's topic in The Rolex Area
anyone? -
To all the modders around the world: I am working on designing my own watch, which is partially based on a sub mid case. I need to have a prototype put together ASAP, and the factory I'm working with is taking its time. Does any modder have a sub midcase that they can reshape for me, whether it be a 16610, 1680, 5512, or 5513? Even if it is from a canal street grade rep, it may be fine. The crown guards would need reshaping, the midcase would need to be thinned, and the lugs would need some reshaping a bit too. Who can offer some assistance with this? Thanks!

Modifying date wheels to fit a movement?
watchguy51 replied to watchguy51's topic in General Discussion
Thanks! Good to know. And how do they slot in exactly? Do they sort of "clip" in? -
I'm looking to use a champagne date wheel for a project (a Seiko actually), and I was wondering if it's possible to take a date wheel for another watch, and modifying it to fit.
-
I was in contact with him, letting him know it was full of aftermarket parts. The conversation was pretty civilized and I think he took it down himself.

Possible to order good custom date wheel overlays?

The dial sizes on subs has been 26-28mm in the various eras. I was wondering how big the dial opening is vs how much of the dial gets covered. Anyone measure?

watchguy51 replied to pakkiiez's topic in The Panerai Area
anyone know what movement they used as a base for this? with the full balance bridge -
These are the measurements I'm looking for: Width of the individual lugs at key points Width of the crown and the gap between the crown and the case. And the diameter of the crown is 7mm I believe?

amazing build, a grail watch for me

Anyone know if you could replace the whole balance with gen? To have a proper free-sprung balance wheel on these would be great.
-
An [hopefully] the last question, what is the width of the lugs at their thinnest and thickest points? Thanks again, this is all very useful!
-
Also, are the pointed crown guards angled more from the top than at the bottom? Or are they symmetrical? And how far do they protrude?
-
Thanks so much for the info. Do you have the width of a lug at different points?
-
Thanks you. The more details, the better. The length and width of the crown guards, the thickness of them on both ends... I'd like to be able to draw up a proper diagram

I have an interesting project in the works right now, and I was wondering if anyone has the dimensions of a Rolex 5512/13 w/ pointed crown guards... or a gen/phong case to measure? I need every dimension of the mid-case and crown. Also, the dimensions of a Helenarou 6538 bezel [notches] would be very useful. Thanks everyone!

Gen? Thanks for the pic

Thanks!! Good info
