here is the exp II right from PT
here is the exp II post The Zigmeister
the date window placement was totally different from one watch to the next. the noob is so much more correct...
My ziggified white faced exp II has a old noob case, noob dial, gen crown and tube, and latest correct hand stack eta movement from pt's last exp II. he had to replace the date wheel since the correct hand stack movement had the cyclops too far right. I have a date wheel coming from paul to add to the mix, so maybe this dial will complete the piece.
haha bill sweeny... I hated him. i liked ms ralph... do you know if bill kupreon (the latin teacher) is still there? or my soscia the wood shop teacher? the HS is totally different than when i was there, total rehab. do they sill have commenecement at that amphatheater at swarthmore college?
I lived at the furness library, well my house was 4 doors down, but every day I was there. that god awful children's room in the basement...

@crystal. you are kidding me that you are from nether providence... I was born in chester, lived my whole young life in wallingford. shhs grad. what a tiny world... god I miss 1/4lb hot dogs and tastykakes from the wawa across the street from the furness library on providence road....
oh and renato's pizza.... mmmmmm
I tried to use more permanent solutions, such as glue and expoxy to build up the back of the strap, but no glue will stick to the strap. only dust
here is my UPO with the rubber strap
On a side note, if you need 1.8mm spring bars, let me know. I had to buy a bag of 100, so I have a few extra.
@rosnik- the rubber strap should be tight to the case. most pop out from the lugs when you flex your wrist. some have used thicker spring bars to help with this, but for mine it was not enough.
my solution as to cut very small pieces of black electrical tape and shim the rubber strap at the bacl of the watch. it makes the strap fit tight, and it never pops out. and unless you take it off and look for it you never see it.
A recent return from The Zigmeister, correct hand stack movement, noob factory case, dial bracelet, gen crown.
next will be a gen dial and better hands... if I can take it off...
the best wrist shot ever. congrats to the new family. seems like yesterday my son was born, he's 5 now and likes to wear daddies huge watch, my UPO. good luck to you, the wife, and beautiful son.
now get that kid a boston red soxs hat, or I will...
best regards
