Hahahahaha always thought I had a problem. But I'm fine! This guy has a problem!

Gorgeous collection Frank! I really like your 1680. BTW, feel guilty bout your 16600 - if you want a new movement for it, let me know!

I really admire this watch. In fact I would buy it even if it would cost more than standart replicas if it is made well. And yes, it is really a piece of diving history!

True. But this is an interesting idea for a test. What replica stands the adversities of a golfcourse best? Maybe with some mountainbike-downhill riding combined? This could be fun!

Yes it looks like one from 80's-90's. But Ebel supplies only new crown-systems to watchsmiths. Looks like this has been self-repaired, or at least, serviced improperly by someone without knowledge of Ebel watches.

Careful guys, something's wrong in the state of denmark... There is at least one screw missing in the movement, and the crownguards have been grinded. Ebel has changed their crown-lock system some time ago, the crown became larger. There exists a special Ebel milling cutter which has to be used for this purpose. At this watch, however, it has just been filed off.

It's a quartz watch anyway... not my cup of coffee.

Impressive tutorial, thank you very much for your time and work! One suggestion may be allowed though: If you adjust the hands to 12h (date-switch-position) before you take em off, you will be able to put them back on without any problems.

If done properly, no water will invade the case as there is an overpressure in it. The risk is that the pressure escapes the case too quickly by pushing the crystal out of the case... This can be avoided by releasing the overpressure very slowly.

Indeed, it's not smart to post about replicas anywhere outside our boards! But our hobby is definately no secret.

Same here. This dial needs AR!!!

Really one of the coolest tutorials I ever read! Thanks for taking the time and posting here!

Beware guys! It is not repairable according to my watchsmith!

Yikes!

Honestly one of the nicest combos I've ever seen... Please bring it to collogne.

Second that! BTW, did you get my email Frank?

3 ATM = pressure of 30 metres. But that does not mean you can go down 30 metres - swimming motions under water can rapidly rise the pressure on the case. 3 ATM means you should be safe to take a short swim in a small pool with it. Just my 2 cents.

:wub:

Sweeeet! Though I wonder why they did not engrave the bezel with 5 minute steps. I like it a lot!

Agreed, Taka is really one of the nicest persons I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Looks great, wear it in good health!

C'mon! Test it. I mean TEST it... lol

Worked great for me. With a genuine.
