there was no need to tear apart your eta movement most likely was only a simple stem repair

THANx mate

any good post oN APPLYING SUPER LUM ? im going to buy some SUPER LUMINOVA & practice on an asian dial . i know the SL in the best , but i read somewhere about a LUM containing glue so that it wont fall off the dial . any how to links would be apreciated

very nice ! looks nice n heavy !

yep you gotta get it right the 1st time

the perfect SD

thats why i havent buy a rep with the infamous 7750 mvt .. send it back to the dealer ! .. oh & dont forget to fully wind the power reserve supply

hey UBI thanx , i think that was begginers luck .. i hope i wont have to repeat this type of mod on my next project . its a little scary working with files n stuff , i realy didnt wana screw up my watch thanx for all your help MR UBI

thanx guys i couldent of done this type mod without the help of all you mod MONSTERS ! it was fun ..

if you installed a gen tube & crown & used the old stem , it is likely that the stem might be to long or to short . i did the same mod & shortly after that my sub died just stopped working .. with the help of my friends on RWG they help me out with this problem .. so i re-cut a new eta stem & she's back & running keeping great time , i just trimmed the CG'S & waiting on new case clamps .. good luck ..

for those of you who viewed my 1st attempt at modding my 1st eta sub , saw that everything turned out ok exept the crown guards on my old sel eta sub where to dam thick & could screw in properly the gen rolex 7mm crown , it kinda touched the sides & didnt feel smooth .. so today i decided to take the whole watch apart again & file down those thick crown guards i used a round file & slowly reduced the size of the CG'S .. to my amazment the crown did not touch the sides of the CG'S & I THINK looked ok its my 1st attempt at this type of thing & i was scared that i was going to ruin the watch so here it goes guys , here are some pix . p.s. i ordered some gen eta case clamps , so untill then i wont re-assemble the watch .. before after take care & BE well every one

ima gonna try to do my CG but with a hand file .. good job !

awsome cant wait to see it installed

hey guys thanx for all your help i think she's ok after i cut her a new gen eta stem " lucky i bought 6 of those things i put the watch together she screws in nice n smooth & now she's in the recovery watch box lets see if she goes untill morning without stopping i got my fingers crossed

hey UBI your 100% the dam stem is a lil 2 long , i will shorten it & re-install it thanx !

is there a proper way of measureing the stem to fit properly in an eta 28xx movement ? any good tips ? any help is greatly apreciated

yea i agree with what your saying , but its a fun hobby for me & the only way your gonna get good at this type of work is by practiceing .. i think the stem is the problem here ..

looks like they installed in the hands in the wrong position at the factory .. i would reinstall the hands at the 12ock position .. but wait for ubi , tribal or The Zigmeister to give you a more proffesional answer

try here i think they have what your looking for eta hands ..

nope ate different times man thats wierd .

its amazing how strong are those rep saphire crystals , last night i found a spare eta sub case with a crystal still in it & i wondered how strong are these rep crystals , so i took a hammer to it & i was amazed that it took about 7 hard strikes to break the crystal i was realy impressed with the quality of the materials used in thses reps .. then i went to town on the case & man it took a beating ! solid stuff ! heres a link that might help you out with the crystals rolex crystals

might wana check out offeri they have a section dedicated to eta parts good luck !

thanx bazz i will try later on dealing with the CG'S , now i have a small problem i discovered that the watch stops about 2 times perday , last night it stoped when i took it off & layed it on my night table any idea on what the problem might be ?
