Can't find anything anywhere how to adjust time, it is an st-6 movement, this is just those little hash marks - and + and the jewel with no lever attached, then the two levers stick out the other side, thanks.

Wow thanks for the help, lighter background, much better now.

Which site? How long since you purchased it? I bought a $900 piece of [censored] from bestswisswatches.com before I found this board and they (surprisingly) fully refunded my card for a defective watch a week later. Can't hurt to try...

Yeah right.

I just realized that my crown barely screws in by a thread or pops out. It is a gmt master II from one of the scam sites. The edge of the crown is hitting the inside of the crown guards. It doesn't even fit, geez, what junk. I have a dremmel so my question is how hard is it shape the inside of the crown guard as to allow the stem/crown to seat properly? Thanks in advance for any help.

Is there anyway I can change the background color of the website to white instead of the dark blue?

So did you get your press? How do you like it?

If you are talking to me, it is ok, although the crystal I had received was a wrong one sent in error by Krysworks. They sent a real Rolex crystal with the cyclops already attached. I cracked the edge of the crystal trying to press it on without touching the cyclops. I have a replacement now that I haven't taken out of the package yet. Hopefully it will fit. The cyclops is separate so if the crystal is the right size the press should work. Then the only thing left is to glue the cyclops on. I hope I don't mess that up.

Basically , just wondering does many feel as bad as i have all day today , lmao? i dont hardly ever drink or consume as much spirits as i did on the 31st and believe me i am paying dearly for it, just wondering how u guys felt today? lol

and also i hope u all have a happy new year

I don't drink alcohol and I feel the same as any other day.

"Spigot bigot".

And some people here have said that RWG1 is full of crazies...

I draw your attention to a bling watch... and within moments, you guys have dragged the thread right down to gutter level.

Pathetic.

Affirmative.

that statement is more tasteless than that watch.

and bigoted and ignorant. i have dozens of gay friends. my sister is gay. we most likely have gay members here. do you also believe that all african americans are lazy and all asians are good students and all jews are cheats?

not funny regardless of the number of smilies. just offensive and juvenile...

Relax hot shot, it was just a bad joke. Go unwind your panties now, you act like a crybaby. I have nothing against gay people, at one time my best friend was gay.

Without a doubt.

And you need to have had a taste by-pass, too.

So I'll be buying two... one for each wrist.

ROFL.

Can anyone supply me with the most complete collection of avaiable Chinese or Eta movements online complete with pics and specs (number of jewels). I have spent around 10 hours in the last three days with mixtures of stuff. The Chinese stuff is especially hard to find, only the ST-6 could I identify. I have many watches from the scam sites that I am documenting, taking the back off and figuring what is in there against what was advertised, thanks for your help.

Just wondering on account of the 2.5 X cyclops

Uh, no, I just learned that one, the gasket is different, I cracked the edge of mine trying to press it in.

So what if i got a watch from watchmaker9.tv big deal, i gave a review with pictures....now its gone...i didnt bash or put down or even say anything about the dealers here. so who can give me an answer....and i know people hate george and watchmaker9.....but why cant i put my pics up of the watch i got....if it was moved i apoligize for this message i just dont know where it went....

I AM NOT GEORGE

I HAVE NO AFFILITATION TO WATCHMAKER9

I LIVE IN USA AND CANADA THEY ARE IN EUROPE I BELIEVE......

AGAIN

I HAVE NO AFFILITATION WITH WATCHMAKER9 OR GEORGE....

here are some pics of my watches from him....

Day Date

Thanks guys,

Merry Christmas

Who is Waldo?

I had the same dilemma, and I tried to remove the cyclops... it was impossible without damaging the crystal.

The genuine version should be further inside than some reps. Some reps have the cyclops in the correct spot--they tend to use the glue-on date overlay discs that are usually mis-centered.

If you get a replacement glass, it may not have the cyclops in the correct spot either, and unfortunately it may be difficult to find a sapphire crystal that is that tick and bevelled.

You can purchase the cyclops separately (good luck finding one with the correct magnification see The Zigmeister's dilemma doing the exact thing here http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=1415 ) and glue it in with the UV cement.

Regarding the UV cement you don't need a UV light, and can simply go outside on a sunny day and cure it with the sunlight in a couple of minutes. Good luck!

Does the excess glue come off by a razor blade easily after curing?

Carefull with that as a cheapo will likely have a mineral glass crystal which is more prone to exploding /breaking. Don't be worried about it - sapphire can take a lot of heat before it goes. When you apply the heat keep watching the cyclops closely- it will be very obvious when the adhesive pops.

Wouldn't a sodering gun have the same outcome but with a little more control?

ends in 1 hour and is going for almost 4000 right now! i just emailed the seller but there is only 1 hour left.

heh a link would be nice i suppose:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Panerai-GMT-44mm-Stain...1QQcmdZViewItem

Maybe it is real? What is the problem? I don't think every watch sold on Ebay is a fake but there might be a lot.

this is for pro football and basketball players only

Don't you have to be openly homosexual to wear or even like that watch?

if your 8 and above lets see whos got the gorrilla wrist amongs us!! ha

Thanks Tim.

Next, we can do fingernail length or kneecap diameter.

I'm sorry, but much as I would like to cooperate, I have only been royally screwed over once, by a person who had the misfortune to die suddenly, if not particularly tragically, shortly thereafter. I have no particular qualms regarding speaking ill of the dead, but the facts and circumstances attendant to his passing are not clear, and no arrests have as yet been made.

Thus, it may be best that I not provide anecdotal evidence that some might construe to be motive.

Funny.

was obessed with RC helicopter for a long time... finally i recieved it as a early christmas present..

it is a esky electric power 6CH 3D heli... i am still having problems getting it off the ground.. haha

any RC owner here?

Your model and picture matches absolutely nothing on that website. What are you referencing?

I like the Harbor Freight press. When it can't handle an installation, I use the dies in a bench vise.

If I could only pick one low-cost crystal press, the HB would still be the one...

Well, when you press the crystal into the opening how in the hell hard do you do it? Everyone talks about what they use and not how hard to press. I don't want to smash the replacement, thanks.

I have a genuine 1930 Rolex pocket watch that I am servicing this week, it looks NOTHING like this one...

It's real guys........ a real fake.

I'm glad I bought a Rolex caseback opener. When I started to unscrew, it was basically not on tight at all, maybe that's where the water came in. So I put the watch in the baggy with the silica with the back off. Would it hurt to blow some heat in there or just leave it in the baggy?

Seadweller, do you mean just pull it out as far as it will go?

I found a little packet of silica and I put it in a baggy with the crown pulled out as far as it will go. How long might that take to fix. The water is very hard here, I hope if it dries it will not leave little water spots in there.

Crown - the thing you use to set the time. You need to make sure that's as open as possible otherwise the water vapour has nowhere to go and will just rust the movement up.

What watch is it?

Seadweller, do you mean just pull it out as far as it will go?

You need to have the crown open if you're attempting this type of fix. Even then, this isn't likely to work, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, Reps aren't sold as water-resistant.

How do you get the crown open? I do have a case opener now, but I don't want to mess with taking out the crystal if I can help that, too much from now, just starting out.
