Thanks all for the encouragement... took me awhile... loads off help from fellow members and friends along the way... couldn't be here without them...

had to sold off some pieces to consolidate the collection.... this will keep me happy for a long time...

Hi..

All watches together finally...

Only a couple of tough rare projects left.. then I am done...

Vintages... Frankens.. Gens.. Destros.. Subs... etc...

Not when it says CENIFUGAL....

Are you taking orders now?? If so.. I will take 2 sets..... 1 gold and 1 blue.... Thanks.

Kai

Any updates on this?? I eagerly await these hands....

Certainly.. some reps..... eg.. PAM29 and PAM63 soprod.... PAM192 seagull..... and Parts too...... JF Casesets, CGs...... FGD dials.... V CGs.....

Back up!

Thanks all again for the update... looks like it is a waiting game now....

I can understand where CHAD is coming from.. if you look at FGD's collection... at certain angles.. the rehaut looks pretty thick... Not sure is it because of that particular angle of shot... OR... are the casesets from DSN?? DSN casesets sometimes have really abnormally tall bezels thus giving the bigger rehaut???

Just a thought.. might be completely wrong here...

Cheers..

So will the helenrou case take a DSN caseback?? Anyone??

Cheers..

Any updates on best Pre-V casesets?? Still helenrou's??? Cheers..

That is a gen 221....

Should make rings to fit a standard 47mm fiddy case as well..... are they the same as a DSN 47mm case?

Hi..

You know I want them!

2 angelus and 2 cortebert

Thanks..

Kai

No preference without a balance.

That thing is like a table clock! Maybe I can convert my Angelus 8 day cal 190 to a watch and wear it like Arny........ all I need is a 12++inch wrist...

The Million Smarts sold by Homer use the Liaoning 5010 as the base MVT not the Sea-Gull ST80.

Tho a cheaper MVT there is nothing wrong with the 5010. It is a reliable MVT and spares are redialy available inc thru Homer himself. Homer can also service and repair these MVTs.

The ST80 is a more expensive MVT and more acurate however the 5010 can still be regulated to within COSOC, the ST80 to well within and the Beijing Watch Factory TB01-2 is reputed to approch some Euro Tourbys in accuracy.

Here are the basics on current China Tourby production.

Current Chinese Developments Beijing TB01-2 In 2000, the Beijing Watch Factory revisited the tourbillon concept and reworked it for limited production. The result was the TB01-2 flying carrousel-tourbillon, currently the most expensive production Chinese tourbillon on the market. It features a titanium flying tourbillon cage, and is usually elaborately decorated on both dial and movement. Beijing have also developed a double-tourbillon.

Liaoning 5010 Costing much less and thus reaching a much wider market, this calibre has enjoyed great success cased-up by http://www.tractionink.com/watch_wiki/inde...art_EnterprisesMillion Smart Enterprises for a variety of new international brands.

Shanghai The Shanghai Watch Industry Corporation launched their Classic Tourbillon as an exclusive Shanghai-branded product only, however they have since followed the trend and offered this somewhat expensive movement for sale to other watch companies. Returning to Breguet's original idea, this movement features a large balance-wheel on a common axis to the tourbillon cage. In 2007 Shanghai revealed their amazing Orbital Tourbillon, which features either one or two tourbillons mounted on a 12-hour carrousel platform.

PTS Resources FD-3032 This was the first Chinese tourbillon to be reviewed online. Clearly built to a budget, and featuring components from the humble Standard movement, it is nonetheless as impressive as any tourbillon that actually works. In 2007 PTS presented a prototype '12 Hour Karrousel' movement of unusual design and much higher grade.

Sea-Gull ST80 Most Chinese tourbillons owe something to the Blancpain flying carrousel-tourbillon design, but this is the one with the closest physical resemblance. Of higher quality than all but the TB01-2, the ST80 is still ery competitively priced. The newer ST82 features a common axis tourbillon similar to the Shanghai. Auto-winding is now available on both. In 2006 Sea-Gull released their ST8080 double tourbillon withone carrousel-tourbillon and one common axis.

Dixmont DG-8000 A latecomer to the field, Dixmont-Guangzhou have focussed on auto-winding on their tourbillons. The escapement appears so similar to that of the ST80 that it is likely that they buy Sea-Gull parts for their movements. The DG-8001 is similar but with a common-axis tourbillon.

Regards, Col.

Where can I get the Beijing TB01-2 watch?? Pics?? Thanks...

down again...

wah! soccer in Malacca.. you semi-pro issit?

Hi T..

Sorry about your loss... take care...

Angelus hands! Great! I will take at least 3 sets...

A non-alarm cover plate for the mvt will be great as well!

You are gone mate... long gone...........

You are a brave man.. modding a gen PAM... PVDing the case is one thing.. but messing with the dial!!

A modded gen dial.. some ppl will doubt the authenticity of it.. might as well mod a rep dial... and sell the gen dial to a fellow member and recoup some money.....

Just my view....

Congrats on the gen buy... always a buzz getting a gen....

I need another one soon...................hmmmmm

Matt black hand set will be good.... I will take 1 set of black...

vintage tritium coloured lume will be good...

YES!! Finally!!

Curved handset for the Angelus.... also longer subsecond pin.... matching subsecond hand will be good too.... I will take 4 sets definitely...

Cortebert hands... I will take 3 sets....

Great effort my friend... GREAT GREAT EFFORT HERE!!

Thank you!!

No boxes taken.. just the authenticating papers.... this guy knew what he was doing....

This guy is gone... 'poof'.... 'insider' info suggests that the rich and powerful from the neighboring countries could be the potential buyers......

He could be assisted out of the country by ppl with diplomatic immunity at customs.....
