I have liked the Sea Dweller for some time now so off I went and bought the latest from Andrew and tbh was a bit underwhelmed by it, in a mad moment I thought 'I'll build one' so I bought a case from Ephry on here and looked around for the rest of the parts I needed, an esteemed member/modder (you know who you are!) offered me a dial to fit a 2836 for free so after I found a used 2836-2 movement on the bay I thought I was in business
but alas no
The Date wheel was out of alignment, which hand set to use, movement holder etc etc!
I'm no watchmaker so after a quick reality check I emailed Jmb
I reckon that's the first sensible thing I did!
So after a couple emails I sent off the movement, case and dial to J, he then performed what I can only describe as a minor miracle on my ebay Rado 2836, I noticed it was pretty old looking when I got it but after a service he got it to work within a very respectable 0 secs per day
he then sourced all the other parts he needed to finish it really fast and had it back in my hands in Australia very quickly indeed!
Gotta say a huge thank you to J for working this one out for me, very courteous and professional service!
I am not especially concerned with the watch being spot on to gen ...I just like it!

Like the guys have said it's normal dan
Paypal did this to me too few years back, it's meant to reduce the money laundering possibilities on your account! They just want to know you are who you say you are etc etc
Log in to Paypal and just follow the prompts, once the account is verified your back on again in no time!

My much better half loved the F1 Tag with Mop face, needless to say I convinced her to go with a rep
I bought a great Hirsch strap for it and swapped it out soon after she got it she absolutely loves it and it keeps great time too, cost $ 2-250
I say save the 4 large and get a rep she won't care as long as it gives her the time and looks the part (a box is good too!), but above all else be honest with her or encase the gonads in bullet proof material

Great watches I wish I had your photo skills too

@ rwgforumfan - across the bezel itself is 41.5 with crown its 46.5 but the measurement across the crystal is, get this 32mm! Looks a lot bigger than that
the double Ar is standard I think too.
@ watch.aholic - yes mate it's a really comfy well made rep, to be honest I haven't had the time as yet to do the bracelet refinish I want to but I reckon once that's done it will be sweet
It feels very similar to my Tissot on the wrist gives you a that nice warm feeling that a good quality watch can, have you thought about any mods to yours as yet?
