Just got my sub and wow these are amazing! I can live with the very slight gap on the sels! Can't see it on your wrist. Beautiful!

Just got my v series from tc and these are amazing in the flesh

Cheers for the advise bud,i'm going to try taking the movement apart tonight and check the lever is fitted correctly, it does work if you apply slight pressure on it but as far as I'm aware you shouldn't have to apply pressure. It must be bent or incorrectly fitted. I'll check it out later and post some pictures up.

I'll have a look tonight after work and take apart the 2824 first to see how it all comes apart hopefully not too fiddly! Cheers for your help buddy much appreciated

Cheers omgiv I think you may be right. Do you know if the hack lever is the same on a 2824? As I have a spare 2824 movement? I may try changing it tonight. Im guessing the whole movement has to be stripped to change the lever. Cheers Ry

I'll put my photos on my computer tomorrow night then upload one. It's strange as when you pull the crown out it works and other times you pull out the crown and it just spins without any resistance what so ever.just not sure about why it won't hack.domyou know if there is something on the rotor side of the movement you can adjust?

Hi guys I took apart my gmt 2 ceramic Swiss eta 2836 today to try sort out the keyless works. I've previously fixed a few keyless works issues on swiss eta 2824 which were a lot easier to take apart than the 2836 gmt. To start with the date wheel was completely different to the 2824 bit more tricky, but the main problem I have is I can't get the movement to hack, if this is the right term. ( to make the movement stop)? I removed all the keyless works parts including the pinion wheel and winding pinion,( also made sure I put these back in the right way as from previous removal I noticed the teeth on the side of the winding pinion! Then I moved the hack lever towards the centre on the movement and the movement stopped. Now to me this seems incorrect because this would replicate pushing the stem in, When I move the hack lever to the right or stem out it starts the movement off again. But when I put the lever In the sliding pinion and put back together it doesnt hack at all! Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I put all the keyless back together tested and all worked except the hack , tested once fitting all hands and the keyless works stopped working again. I need to take it all apart again and try resetting the kw. If anyone could help that would be great. I'll add a picture of the movement, this was a picture the seller took not me so I have had the kw out since this picture. Cheers in advance Ryan

Just seen the guy who found the watches on the news, all the watches together evaluate to over £60,000 now!!!!

Nice review and pictures buddy, looks great, this is deffinatly a positive step forward. We have to give tc some slack as at the moment he isn't a dealer he's just a member helping us with a great sub he has found. Great work Coolchu mine should arrive next week looking forward to it more now I've seen your review

It must be 42mm thing, I'm sure it will be fine fitting the gen tube, yours probably looks even bigger due to the extra threads on the outside.

Just had another thought buddy I wonder if it is the internals of the rep crown that may have unscrewed from inside the crown?

What sub is it buddy?

One for sale on rwg http://www.rwg.cc/topic/143198-gmt-iic-21j/

I must get myself a vintage sub,beautiful

I must disassemble my 3717 and get it relumed, I could also fit my German Day and date wheels.

Great choices today guys some superb pieces

Love your gmt zk !

Hi guys today I'm busting out my new Retro 1977 seiko A039 Lcd.picked it up this morning

Hi jkay what movement would you say this is and do you think it has the module in it you were referring to?

Hi all just been scouting the net to try find a nice watch box which will store a good amount of watches and maybe wind a few at the same time, whilst I was looking I found this interesting watch winder! http://www.hedonister.com/2010/09/bugatti-veyron-engine-watch-winder/ If you've found any cool or extreme box/winders post the up

If this happens I will pay to get some tight fitting sels

Not sure mate but if not I would buy a Tw best from bk with non engraved and a tc engraved

Great review and great photos buddy. Love this watch deffinatly in the top 5

Not a problem buddy, the crow/tube and stem issues seem to be quite a common problem which is happening more and more frequently with the planet oceans. It's almost a standard procedure. Buy one send it back or brave it buy some tools and open your watch up
