  1. go with homer's version, except from the bezel insert, its spot on. the tube accepts a genuine crown. and the CG needs no modding at all. only new insert.
  2. nice watch+work pitimany!
  3. Please share your technique of removing dial feet. I've tried various methods. results varying from dial molesting to moderate success. There remains however a tiny little piece of the feet, which touches the datewheel when trying to mount the dial. how to get rid of it in a manner which does not kill the dial? thanks for any input, Job
  4. there are tiny clamps just below the main plate on the side of the movement, you have to push them outwards with a tiny screwdriver. if i am correct The Zigmeister explained it somewhere with pics, search for post by 'The Zigmeisterzumba'.
  5. sounds like you got a really nice watch for your gal...
  6. this is what i mean vs
  7. the venus copy is a 2 register, the pic clealry shows a 3 register, so i think it is not a venus copy

  13. Can somebody tell me if the current batch of navitimers carry the 28k8 beat 7750 movement, or the previouse 21k6 version ? thanks
  14. yeah, yours equals the more exspensive automatic version
  15. do yourself a favor, and mark it as spam.
  16. there is not much you can do, a german auction house is selling frankens by the dozen, and gives 1 tot 2 years guearantee on them aswel. prices up tp 80.000 euros ebay wont do a thing. when reported.
  17. im going to use the dial stickers (3 mm round) to attach the the feet to the dial. but if that isn't gonna give me the durable feeling, i am gonna glue them. I dont think you can solder them, ihink the dial feet are plastic, but unsure, havent got it yet. anyone can order these like i mentioned from agthomas (www.agthomas.co.uk)
  18. Ive been struggling to attach geniune dials on non orig. movements in a scure durable manner. i ordered these dial feet from agthomas to fix my . together with these stickers they should arrive any day now, i will post some pics of the works.
  19. be gentle and take your time. what tool you use to press the hand? The way i found most convient to install the hand, is to take piece of paper fold it in middle put the hand on the fold, pickup the paper, and fiddle a bit so that the ... nevermind check the image... then hover the hole over the pinion, and use a hand setting tool to pres the hand on.
  20. also a beauty! nice airplane fetish you got there
  21. may i steal this thread by saying i am stunned by the painting. looks like french landscape, reminds me of my holidays as a kid.
  22. mechanical movements are not acurate, and this should not be an issue. if you want acurate, buy a 5 dollar quartz... beats any prestige 100.000 USD+ mechanical watch any time of the day.
  23. nice vantage watch slayer... look after it and maybe you'lle pass it on to your son
