hellow my fellow RWG members heres the situation .
i have a good paying job with excellent medical coverage for my family ( im a new dad 9month old baby girl ) but we dont have a retirement plan .
any good advice on long term retirement ira's for the USA ?
thanx every one .
what i did was pulled out the stem to stop the seconds hands on the 12 & waited to the time on my digital cable box change & then i pushed it back in & monitor the seconds with the digital cable box ..
i hope this is a good method .
so i wateed 1 week to see how many seconds my eta 2836 sub gains & she came in at about 10sec + per day .
so i opened up the watch & with a 1mm screw driver kick back 2 notches on the regulator screw
cross my fingers & hope this would get her back on track !
thanx every one for your help !
excellent job as well !
any good sources for gen sub tube & crown ?
& did you have to retap the case to fit in the gen tube ?

i thought i was going to receive a canal st special , but there asian watches are of much better quality !
so far she's keeping great time !
took the watch apart , refastend the dial feet to the movement , re-installed the hands ( the scariest part of the job cause i always mess up
but before i went to work this morning i repaired it & thank god i didnt bend the dam hands !
that was fun im kinda happy the watch came defective that way i could practice my watch repairing skills
hey guys what could be the problem with the hands on my asian 21j airking ?
i just received a r@lex airking from one of our dealers ( i wont mention his or her name cause we are in the process of working this lil problem out ) .
but as soon as i opened the plastic wrapper & held the watch to examen it i noticed the hour & minute hands wobbleing as i moved the watch up & down ..
have any of you guys had this problem before ?
what would be the cause of the minute & hour hands wobbleing , but the seconds hand is working fine ! other than that the watch is a beautiful .
i e-mailed the dealers & asked him if he wanted me to ship back the watch or send me a new dial , hands & movement & ill do the repair .
i have not open the watch cause im awaiting instruction from the dealer .
but just curious as to what could be the problem
i decided to take the dam watch apart & found the dial feet not properly secured to the movement & tightend the dial feet screws & reinstall the hands & the watch is working great !
jay & angel offered to resend me a new watch those guys are very cool to deal with !
but i told them i repaired the watch my self & no need to resend new watch ..
