im not looking for a new mate or buddy im looking for a decent amount of loyalty after spending close to $2000 in under six months with him I have an order he knows about valued at about $500 that i told him to get ready but not to ship until the repair was ready now im in sales and have been for 15 years if i had a customer who had spend what i have spent and willing to spend more id push the boat out a little .

im now having real issues with josh with a repair keeps changing his story had it a month now but hes still pushing any new watches he gets or ones i have added to a list i gave him he said in his last email that repairs are not as important new orders take precedence over them

hahhah brilliant

very nice mate wear it well

excellent i didnt think you could use gen date wheels with ETA movements for some reason great to hear you can and looks very very impressive

nope movement was right spoke to yuki hes sending out a new set of hands free to me says he thinks he knows the problem

oh i will need to pick up a couple of them

ahhhh i might be back over late aug early sept but only for a few days will let you know later in the year lol

ZK i will be in dub may 2013 20th -27th if you are a bout we can have a beer or 7

thanks joey have ordered all the hands totally overlooked the fact the movement could be wrong

wait i think i have worked it out the 4 movements are just standard they have not been modified the gmt function would that make sense

he does but then yuki said his would fit lol and they dont gonna order the 2 from raffles

anyone tried raffles vintage gmt for the 2836 ?

Yuki got back to me says the set even tho it says fits ETA the gmt hand wont and thanked me for my purchase lol anyone got any ideas or should i just use a diff movement a DG etc

i will do i have emailed yuki but i bought them a few months ago so doubt he will do anything thansk guys maybe i should just use a diff movement rather then the eta need to go through my box see if anything fits

awesome ra really really awesome

yuki says his gmt is 2.0mm but its so big it doesn't hold on at all on any of the movements the gmt hand should go on first yea since its got the biggest dia hole

honest this build has driven me mad lol

hi guys i got a Yuki 1675 dial and the $38.00 gmt hand set to fit an ETA2824/2836 now i have tried about 4 movements and 2 2836-2 and none of them fit either the dial without cutting the legs or the hands the gmt goes no where near it have i been really thick and missed out on something or is it just they dont fit as yuki suggests any help would be appreciated to get this one finished the case RA did for this mocks me every morning to be finished

i spoke to josh about a few things he says his end is clear its the factories and shipping side which are still getting hit says its a nightmare trying to get watches out so orders are going to take sometime he has a repair of mine which could be some months before its returned to me think i will be holding off ordering anything and if i get the thirst i will just buy from our sales area

raffles only has 2 tone ones just now im waiting on one or a gen to come up that takes my fancy

i thought i saw new vintage 6542 but cant see them anywhere

all i need is a nice movement holder to just add to the feel and setting of the dial if anyone knows where to source it would be great

please ignore im a tube lol
