My personal hommage to Dali is wearing a Dali-type moustache

Dee

Museo Tyssen-Bornemisza would also be my proposal...

Reina Sofia we didn't do last time we were in Madrid, can't remember if there have been rows waiting which shocked us or something else - was a Sunday...

And of course sit down at a cafe or restaurant at plaza major, relax and watch the people walking by!

The 2 pictures show 2 different dials.

On the top picture the coronet is correct old style but the rest of the text is way off, on the lower dial the coronet is too modern but the text looks better.

AFAIK winding manually schould work in one direction and have a free run in the other direction.

So if it winds in clockwise, ccwise the clicking is like the free spin on the bike when kicking backwards.

I would first describe the issue to Andrew/Trusty and ask how he would propose to handle this.

1) Sending it back for exchange may be one option - time intense and you have shipping costs

2) Andrew sending a movement for you to replace another option - less than half the waiting and the broken movement covers your movement exchange costs

3) Giving a heav discount on your next purchase might be a third option

First communicate with him and if you are not satisfyed with the outcome, you might involve an mod/admin to get a compromise.

Are the lug holes the correct size?

Could it take a gen bracelet and end links?

Could it take a gen dial?

I'll test as I ordered one - but I'm still awaiting the QC pictures...

A group of caretakers with good knowledge to approve the editing would be all needed. Without approval it would possibly be a lot of work to re-activate deletions etc.

Dee

Vielen danke, Mein Herr, but I do feel a watch issue is more likely than anything else, but you did cheer me up anyway

In Germany some would guess you got a government job in which you might sleep well in the office so the watch doesn't get kicked around to wind. Did you try it on a winder?

Dee

I agree with Ronin, but someone taking care of pinning or keeping the links to the reviews in a pinned thread up to date would definitely beneficial!

Dee

In my mind i dont wait untill the oil in my car is all gummed up until i change it as more wear occors with old oil

But if the service (in your example changing oil) is at the same cost as a replacement movement (your motor) the question is, if at any point it would be economic to do preventive service. At least my watchmaker charges around €150.- for servicing an A7750 and that is pretty much what Cousins has it listed for.

Dee

Sure that with ordering Lady-reps your mrs will also get attention from the "rwc dreamboys"

Dee

Just from looking I would rate the dials as 100% rep instead of refinished...

And for 100% rep they seem too expensive as a lot of the designs are pure fantasy.

Dee

Well if you have a holes case then SEL will not be accurate

Well...

The 16600 with holes had SEL.

So a possible way to go and definitely nicer to wear!

Dee

I think they at least the SD is the same that Sead offers and he provided a lume shot.

Dee

I think they are worldwide one of the largest supplyers...

Dee

+1 for the Ex1.

DJ is more frequent so the Ex1 gives distinction!

Dee

Sorry

So you refer to Sternkreutz - they are crystal producer located in Germany.

Dee

Do you have his card?

An excellent victim to get rid of some pieces you don't wear anymore for an good price

Dee

Yes...

Clarks Watch Parts

Base movement is this 25j one: AS1789

But also on the rotor it states 57 jewels, so Rado modified this it seems...

Well, I once gifted my ex-wife a 103 jewels Mido. 25 in the movement and 78 on the dial

Dee

It's a crappy sub cased SD. Look how thin the bezel and caseback are.

Sub cased with He-Valve?

Dee

It's not like Rolex doesn't condone this nonsense.

This is just remembering the good old times when Rolex sold a lot of golden bling watches to pimps

Dee

The first european quartz was the Beta21 movment starting sales 1970, so this might be end of the 70s...

Dee

Why not a leather nato

+1

A light brown leather nato gently vintaged will give a nice look and feel!

Dee

I don't know about fitting the DW case, but for the old 6239 e.g. endlinks 60 would be correct.

If you need some
