Great story! Totally made me smile. Being In the design/ construction field it is nice to not have the architect blamed for a job site issue, even if it is just a joke
for me the best way was to send it to the Canadian spa! if don't have the right tools to work on watches, I don't even try. as with most things, I don't think its hard to get apart, but you need a press to get everything back together...
Am I the only one that feels like my watches are made sugar and will fail even at the sight of water? My 16610 build passed 7atm and I take it off to wash my hands, my gen Eco diver is tested to 200m and I get nervous swimming in it.
I have gotten one rep wet. My expII. Tested safe to 10atm. Even then it only went in 3 feet of water.
Maybe I'm a puss, and I should man up. Nanuq maybe a week canping in the tundra will fix my fear;)
Agreed. I have seen many serviced lug holed pieces with new triangle 4 inserts from the AD.
Does anyone know if a flat 4 insert for a 16800 was factory made with SL not with tritium?
But it's fun splitting hairs;)
Fidhle is right on, the only other point is as far as I can tell if it came with lug holes it came with a flat 4 insert. No lug holes and it came with the triangle 4 insert. I have seen pictures of no lug hole cases with flat fours but I don't think that they came that way.
I am curious, why TC hands? are his modern hands that close to something that would come from service for a 1665?
I am collecting parts for my 1665 and have a set of sl BK hands to use. are the TC that much better?
and I too am curious about the yuki back...
not totally wrong E, I have a 2892 with gen date wheel in my build (stilty style). i got mine off the bay, you just need to check often as they usually go quick.
i could be mistaken but I think that is a double red case back, however, its not wrong if you were to unfortunately have the dial swapped during service. I do believe that is the only caseback you can get atm.
