Looks nice, I'm surprised the Joshua crystal fit the new case, but thats cool when it works in your favor its always nice!

The HE valve looks good. as for the stem. the crown actually unscews from the stem so i would think you could unscrew the crown a little from the stem, making it longer then use a dab of glue to hold it from loosing up more!

Just my thoughts, but by far I am not watchsmith!

Hope I've helped, but the watch looks great.

also 1 question. Does your bracelet have screws or pins?

Jon

Unfortunately, thanks for the suggestion, but there just isn't enough stem to do that. Thanks anyway!

My bracelet has pins.

Later!!

Hi,

This Seamaster was originally bought from Joshua. Swiss movement. I was able to get a few things off of Ebay and I enhanced my watch.

Here's the watch with the bezel aligned...first mod done (a while ago)...and so you can compare the old case to the new case.

I won an OEM clasp and a new case for the Seamaster on Ebay, so I swapped the bezel insert off of the Joshua watch (it was better) and placed the movement into the new case. I also kept the crystal that came with the Joshua one, since it was sapphire and the one that came with the new case was not. The new case has the HE valve in the correct location so the watch looks pretty good if I don't say so myself. I had to take my Dremel tool to the case since the movement didn't fit originally but it does now!! Okay, enough rambling on here...here are the pictures...

Only one minor problem the stem is a little too small (causes a couple of issues), so if anyone can help me out and I can get a longer stem I would greatly appreciate it!!! Please, please, please PM me if you can!!!!!

I have never done anything to this magnitude on a watch.

Thanks and enjoy!

These pictures are also in my photobucket, if you care to look.

I have to agree...sorry, but that does not look good at all. Was that replacement off of ebay? If it is please let us know, so we don't get one from that seller.

Sorry!

Same thing happened to me and Andrew replaced and upgraded me to a better Fiddy (I just paid the difference).

Email Josh and see what he can do. I remember seeing Skyliner (something like this) on old RWG have some for sale...

Good luck!

Simply amazing...Pin Fixed and Super Lumed!!

Not the best pics but...

Added a few more...

Thanks Rob!!!

@Mike - Great post! Who performed the relume on your Panerai??

Rob,

Your paintings are really great! You continue to impress the heck out of me!

Good to know...I enjoy seeing Neil's pics. Thanks. Hey, no highjackers!! (j.k.) LOL!

Just wondering...

Tom - I like the PO chrono more. This one isn't that special JMHO.

It really comes down to what you'll be happy with. My preference without hesitation - 127!!!!

Simply awesome!!!

$60 for a crown seems a little steep...JMHO.

Saturday and Sunday...

Hi,

I am interested in one for 7753 (PAM 196). Please PM me for purchasing information.

Thanks.

Nice. Did you get the pin fixed? Looks like you did.

That is an AWESOME watch. Thanks for posting the pictures! Big bucks for not being a 7753, I can wait till Christmas...JOSHUA please have this available before hand!!!!!!!

Later!

Here's my Fiddy on a strap made by Aaron (HKTAN)...I simply love it...

I also have the vintage one from Aaron, but I'm not using it anymore.

Later!!!

I believe you made the correct choice!!! Looks good. Nice technique, quite MacGyver of you! How long was the wait at Ofrei's???

Unfortunately, I would say #3. Sorry!

Hey Rob,

Great to see you here!!!! You DA MAN!

You forgot Hey! Now I have that song going through my head.... bummer I guess it's better than the

The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald By Gordon Lightfoot.

Mission Accomplished!

Definitely personal decision. IMHO - I would say go 26X26.

A newb again...

Thanks for creating the RWG!!!!!
