This is absolutely the very best 3717 rep/franken there is!!!

Thnx R! I'll look again tomorrow. All I can see now is that the date adjust setting doesn't do anything that slipping the stem both CW and CCW and no setting wheel moving at all.

You guys have a great GTG tomorrow! @CBR: take care and I hope your son will recover soon

I have re-assembled the keyless works over and over again. Still the date quicksetting doesn't work. Winding works as does time setting. It's like the stem doesn't push the sliding pinion far enough to reach the setting wheel and engage with the date intermediate wheel. Hope somebody can tell me what I apparently don't see....

Calibre 16 (7750 based)

This is exciting news! Now if only I could mod my wristsize.....

Very sad to hear this. Sometimes life can be too rough...... Take care!

Great shot!

For now I'm sticking to 2: - PAM111 - TH Monaco Chrono

Currently I'm in the process of selling off some non-modded reps to finance a gen PAM111. Then I would have 4 gens and 3 highly modded reps. Enough watches and variety to fill up a whole week However, in case of your Daytona collection and Ubi's frankens I think the time and research you guys have put in them adds so much value that selling them off for a gen wouldn't give that much satisfaction.

Basically it looks alright. As Chief said changing the day and date wheels + new double AR would be a big improvement. Also the marker on 3 looks a bit crooked, but that could be restored during a relume.

Clearly my hangover from a weekend partying in Cologne isn't over

Happy birthday!!!!

I think most dealers can source you a spare movement. However, when you have your original movement serviced (by The Zigmeister for instance) your watch is going to be a keeper for years. So probably no need to buy a spare movement (A7750 approx USD 125,-).

Great looking watch! And you got the strap for $10,-?!? Wow!

Very nice shirt, cuff-links and watch. But personally I would have left 1 of the 3 out since less is more. And who needs a watch at a great party where time is of no importance

Just to be clear: - never ever shake a watch 'like a mad cow' - if you handwind an 7750 (especially an unserviced one) do it very slow and gentle until the movement starts running. - If you feel the slightest resistance immediately stop handwinding. The gears are probably dried out and your movement needs some servicing.

The aged tritium/white dial combi looks wonderful!

Officially no Asians worked on this watch . @By-Tor: still one of the best looking TAG reps you got there!
