Bazz

A few of my rarer and discontinued models.

Pretty sure I have seen that sweater before

If I remember correctly the middle of the gen case back is brushed? (non-laureus)

Looking at my rep the case back, it's the same and I just opened it up and it has all the same numbers. Also look at the movement, looks alot like a 7750... mine has a blank rotor but look at the mangled screw holding it in. IWC are known for their movements and fit and finish. Rep for sure.

Sunday,

Wearing a Swiss 063 for Wednesday

This combo for Tues...

The crown on this broke and have replaced it with a new gen one so have had it on most of the weekend.

Gerald who??

You have gotta love his dials and bracelets

No wrist shot sorry but this combo.

Today,

The double AR makes a huge difference to the dial on this one!

This big ugly bugga today!

Have this one on today,

Today,

A couple of non branded pieces from Tourby

Was wearing this one today

I never said to remove them whilst set to 12 only reinstall them. I still remove the hands from 6497/8 movements at 12 due to habit and because my hand removal tool has a set of legs that may otherwise touch the hands. So no, on the 6497/8 you can remove the hands at any setting you please.

EDIT: posted before your edit

You do this for movements with a date, so when you reinstall the hands the date will still change at 12. You could advance the time till the date changes and then install the hands at 12 but it is easier to remove and reinstall them at 12

@bazz & fxrandy: what's the point to set the hands @ 12 on a non-date movement?

It is so the minute and hour hands line up correctly, if you look at the black dial watch the hands are out. The hour hand is at around a quarter past three and the minute is about a ten to, so when the hour hand reaches 12 the minute will be around 12:30. You cant randomly stick them back on and hope they line up perfectly.

It is not terminal at all you have just depressed the set lever out of place, to fix it you need to remove the dial and hands.

You can kind of see what you have done HERE

You may want to set the hands to 12 next time

Today was this

Coopers pale ale has been my beer of choice lately and the reason I was feeling slightly ropey on Sun morning

Another to keep an eye out for is Little Creatures pale ale from WA.

Today I'm wearing my closed factory 007

Tonight

HAGWE people

Dont suppose you ordered any extra? $26.60 postage is a bit much for a couple of springbars
