  1. Got mine today, anyone else? They both flip the date one day at a time(at least the two times I set them at 11:45pm the date changed fine)

    Is it just me or does the bottom one look like the date is not centered on the crown stem? Is that adjustable?

    Could also have been an "in transit" issue that can be easily correct by adjusting the time then quick changing the date
  2. thanks guys.

    do you think must to replace the o ring gasket, or wartchmaker can straighten it and to assemble well?

    I say redo it or have someone with the right tools do it for you. When I install these crystal retainers I always place the case upside down as it helps to keep the o-ring where it needs to be. Don't skimp on new gaskets and greasing o-rings. This always ensures that you're going to have better chances at water sealing.

    After new gen parts went in the movement gain in hight about 0.7mm, and did not fit on ST case

    To deep and the movement screws don't fit anymore under the holding slot

    Do you have any case to borrow?

    M,

    The ST case you were using is not correct for the 3135 movement. You were using a case designed for a 3035 movement. This is why you had issues to begin with. With the correct case the figment should be fine. My 16610 with y3135 watches have been a perfect fit in every aspect using gen set screws.

  4. Good machines do offer piece of mind, but the coffee used is also essential. I find that too dark a roast on the Bialetti brings out too much of a metallic taste if using tap water. At least in the NY area I live. The Percolator is just more practical for me, because ODDLY enough, I am the only one that drinks coffee in the house.

     

     

    I need my liquid crack in the morning!

  5. It's remarkable how many friends I've made through this hobby. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of you in person (over beer, pizza, or foie gras!), though there are a lot of people I've yet to meet but trust completely. Thanks very much to all of you!

    I visit several forums, but RWG is the one I consider home. May it (and I!) go on for many more years!

    Always the well spoken gentleman! I do have to say it again, may you blog and live on for many years to come

  6. from the look of this watch and detailed pictures its spot on without having my mostly gen MK XVI side by side with it. The lume job on dutche's watch is pretty much exact to my GEN lume and the dial look texture and lume application looks damn well exact. Id say this is pretty much 98% of the gen look. So id say its closer than the XVII.
    something tells me Dutch stop drinking coffee a loooooooong time ago! Lol. Looks awesome brother. Did the crown issue get fixed?
