  1. You can sand a little off the bottom of the crown to make it a bit thinner. Looks much better that way too Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
  2. Yes, that's the same one Andrew listed, but available in swiss 2836/a2836/21j instead of just 21j.
  3. I would hit Andrew up again - timesshops is listing these with clone & swiss ETA, so they must be available. I think Andrew was mistaken. http://tswatchltd.com/14548-ro14548-gmt-master-ii-ss-black-red-super-lume-sl-factory.html http://tswatchltd.com/14547-ro14547-gmt-master-ii-ss-blue-red-super-lume-sl-factory.html
  4. I don't believe DW is a dealer on any of the other rep fora - this was his last bastion so to speak, the final bridge has been burned.
  5. what is the current email you have for him? the last time i ordered in the spring, it was marsaktive

  7. would be a 21600, only drawback. did he say how long he expects before the 2836 versions are available?
  8. Weird - I figured they would have updated all around. Welp, it's a good movement either way - it's pretty solid.
  9. I am betting it's an update to this old one: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=7111 - and I'm betting if you order that old one, you will get the new one, but with A2836. Ask Andrew to confirm - he will reply to your email super fast.
  10. Or push it from the other side - I think sneed is saying it's possible to screw the cover on with the DWO attached though, rather than getting the datewheel itself back on, while the cover is already attached (by getting the spring out of the way) . I had mentioned the spring method in my post, I just know that the first couple times I tried it, the DW wasn't settled 100%, it jammed, and some teeth on the calendar gear got mangled. So I didn't really think that method was worth someone trying if they didn't already know what they were doing. Now that I've done it a few times, it's WAY easier than realigning the overlay. Way way easier.
  11. I sent Mike the hand for tonys watch on the 28th,so hopefully that should help close that one out Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  12. On a rolex though, he's gonna have to deal with the dwo, because you can't screw the cover plate for the time set gears back on with the overlay in place. Lining dwo back up is a major pain, and I'm not sure I'd recommend the "push the spring in and slot the datewheel in with the cover in place" method to a newbie either because if you use just the littlest too much pressure doing that you end up mashing teeth on the calendar gear. He's probably better off just sending off to someone and learning on spare mvmt Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  13. whatever is in that stuff, will probably dissolve the crystal gasket as well..
  14. Just do a search for 3135 case - it will show uo Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  15. So I just looked up allenes, that stuff is a cyanoacrylate glue (it's super glue) Not sure you are going to be able to get that bezel unstuck without damaging something else on the watch - acetone would dissolve it, but will ruin the gasket. You could chip it off probably but you'd have to break the insert to get it out. You still MIGHT be able to break the glue holding the bezel in place if you can get a good grip on it. Cyanoacrylate doesn't have a very good shear strength as it's quite brittle when cured, so the kind of pressure involved holding two rotating pieces together, it's not tough against. So you may be able to shatter the glue Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  16. It will dissolve the crystal gasket Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  17. If you used hypo cement you should be able to break whatever seal you've created there easily by just turning the bezel. Did you end up using superglue? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

  19. I know you can get the straight white hand from ofrei if you want to go for an earlier model (the first several years had straight seconds hands with no lume dot) barring that, you could just get some matte white spraypaint and turn a metal hand into a white one. then relume (the spraypaint will dissolve the lume )
  20. Is it the same base movement design with a modified mainplate and keyless? I did not realize that.
