  1. Not illegal in the USA to purchase only to sell like the scam sites are doing.
  2. How will you get a laugh from sending that watch back to them? Do you realize that if they receive the watch back, it will be sent to the next person who orders that model.
  3. On the subject of cyclops, how hard is it to position a new cyclops before the glue dries. I have a replacement crystal and cyclops and maybe have been putting it off for a while because of a little uncertainty of the gluing technique.
  4. I have a bunch of Submariners from the scam sites that contain the ST-6 movement. Does anyone know if I can purchase the 2836-2 movements and fit them into my cases. What is the part that connects those movements to the case? Currently, these ST-6 movements are held in place by the little plastic ring thingy.
  5. If you are trying to resize the band smaller, then you may need to cut the link out. That is what I did. I was very careful and took my time but got the job done without harming the adjacent link.
  6. Yep, I used my Dremmel to sharpen one of my cheapies.
  7. I went that route with no success. You need to mailorder a set that has the smaller sizes you need.
  8. Wow, some of those cases in the second thread look like they were dug out of tar pit.
  9. Damn, I didn't realize that, I took my Seadwellar apart a few weeks ago to get watch out (very small fogging under the crystal) and used the silica treatment. I don't believe any damaging moisture got in the movement at all. But when I reinserted the stem, I just pushed it in. Now the hacking function doesn't work. I think it did before, I don't remember. But I believe this cheap Chinese movement has one. I wish there was an easy way to fix. The watch keeps good time otherwise. I have started to build a little toolbase, headvisor 2.5, screwdrivers etc. I am mechanically inclined. Are there any tutorials anywhere that would walk me through fixing the hack function? Is it also probable that part is damaged or just out of place? Thanks in advance.
  10. Yes, that's the one thank you so much. I don't understand your description, sorry.
  11. Does anyone remember the thread that showed of the members here describing which way (with pics) to move lever to adjust speed of watch (clockwise or anticlockwise)? It was just recently, thanks for the help.
  12. I would be very happy to share pics but my digital camera is so old I can't get closer that 2 feet. I will give you an example, a GMT II from Globalrepli[censored] (I have one), the crown BARELY will start to thread because it hits the inside of the crownguards. It's so off sometimes the crown is popped out and I don't even know it. I am glad I didn't dip the watch one inch under the surface of my pool like I did my Seadweller for 1 second. Water got in the watch.
  13. They are NOT reasonable, I think you are missing the point, they all come from the SAME person(s).
  14. Try replicaceo.com or zenithmotor.com. Be prepared for your [censored] meter to blow. I guarantee you, NONE of them have 31 jewel movements, I know because I have some, they are again 4.00 movements.
  15. ROFL, to the CSI comment. You are wrong it is a full scam run by the same person. They still intentially lie on most item rampantly. Considering the 15 or more sites which globalscum is one of, all run by the same person, if 99 % of what they sell is fraud and 1 % is ok, does that make them ok?
  16. It is not illegal in the USA to buy or own them only to sell them. The authorities don't care, they are more interested in other things I believe like terrorism, etc.
  17. Damn, you guys are harsh. He's probably a shill anyway.
  18. Here is a pic of what I have. I don't know what to move. Click the pic to see it better. Thanks.
  19. maybe 30 seconds in 24 hours, I just want to know what to turn to change it.
  20. I was taking out a screw from a link to size to my wrist. It is one of the scamwatches. This is the first time I have ever had a screw seize on the way out. I had to dremmel the link off. I was extremely careful to avoid damaging the nearby link. I couldn't even get one of the other screws in all the way, almost but not quite. Well during the job, I punched a hole in my finger (bled pretty good) and tore a hole in the front of a pretty nice teeshirt. Maybe I need special certification.
