At least she didn't drug him, or we wouldn't have this laugh

Well done!

I disagree, I think its all gen

Ive bought 2 from them. I think they are nice, although at $105 a little pricey. However, I could not find them anywhere else. And they had the blue smurf also.

The spring is weak in the crown. After unscrew it and it pops turn it in reverse and see if it will pop out a little. It should wind then. If not, the spring in the crown is bad

I use a 0004ths feeler guage and slip it under the date wheel and gently push the spring in. At the same time I manually rotate the date wheel slightly to align the teeth with the slot in the bridge. Then apply a slight upward pressure and remove the datewheel. To Install simply put it back on, rotate slightly to align the teeth, push the spring in withe feeler guage, rotate the datewheel a little more and you will feel it move down. Remove the feeler gage and you done. Takes about 30 seconds

I don't know about the rest of the country, but in Dallas, if you don't show to a board meeting driving your blk blk S550 and wearing your rolex with diamond dial and bezel, they look at you and say " is everything ok" LOL

I haven't seen one yet that you can't remove the bezel from. Maybe not on a $50 canal street

SCAM!!

droptopman, that's amazing. It looks really good. astonjenks, I'm not usually a strap man, but I really like that one. Is that a gen 6542?

NO! Swiss is better. The reason your's drags is because the dwo was not placed high enough for it to clear the base plate. It's draging on th main plate

Those old dials are hard to come by. Definate swiss 2836-2 or 2834-2. That shows how good the swiss movement is. You should thank him, very useable parts

Yes china has swiss. However most of the gen swiss are used in the high end japanese watches. Such as sandoz etc. A new sandoz with a genuine swiss, and they are swiss is $400-$500. If you think your are buying a swiss in a rep for $300, your mistaken it is an asian clone. While they are much improved over last year they are still not as good as a swiss. Ive been using swiss movements since the mid 80's. Some watches I built with swiss in the late 90's are still keeping good time. Ive only been offering asian clones of the swiss for about a year. So far, the gold clone has worked well. I have repaired several with the silver clone. Don't know what the difference is, just know the facts. So, best movement GEN SWISS hands down

You should never set the time in reverse. You are breaking your watch. Why would you want to go in reverse? To save 20 seconds? Just set it the was it was designed

It's not how you use it, it's the problem with the movement mod. Wear every day if you like. If it's going to die, it will die weather you wear it or not

Amelia Erhart.We still don't know what really happened. I know today we have communication around the world. It seems like every single flight in the world is tracked by someone somewhere. Very strange!! We may never know what happened or why.

Something is causing it to drag. It should pop. Usually a minor issue

The spring in the crown gets weak. When it does, the crown will wobble

That is an extremly good alignment. Perfect? Thats a strong word, but as close to perfect as Ive see. I work on a lot of gen rolex, maybe 1 out of 50 are that good.

interesting

Take a needle and put some anti-seize grease on the case tube. Screw crown in and out until you feel it smooth out. Then take a rag and wipe the excess off the threads on the case tube. You should see a marked improvement.

The different colors of screws indicates their strength. When you buy bolts at a hardware store, you will notice lines on the top of the bolt. No lines is standard, 3 lines is stronger, 6 lines is stronger still. In a watch they don't use lines on the screws, no room for them, so they use colors. Blue is a med strength screw. Black is stronger, silver is the standard and weakest of all.

I can do that for you. No need to buy anything, I have all the parts in stock.

It won't turn enough to align it. Be sure you stem is pulled all the way out to remove it. Press the button that holds the stem very very little. Add a slight pull on the crown when you depress the button. A very slight outward pull. No you do not press the button when installing the stem. Push in gently and rotate back and forth a little. You will need to remove your date wheel overlay to realign it in the window.

I don't think it's a simple conversion. The hairspring and balance are for sure made as a pair. When singer changed their movement from 36 to 28,8, they came with a complete new movement. Must be a lot of changes
