  1. I actually have a project in the works to try and use a high power UV light source to age dials and stuff. I've obtained a deuterium lamp which is kind of like a wide beam UV laser. I just have to figure out how to build the power supply i need to run it.
  2. That's just the movement holder, it was probably bent to better clamp in the movement. You should be able to get some of those from any watch supply house like Jules -Borel .
  3. If I were you I would post a want ad in the member sales section and just keep bumping it so it stays near the top
  4. Thanks for the replies. I think I have found an o-ring type gasket that will work. If all else fails I will use a flat gasket. I was trying to get the crown assembly as close to gen as possible. I remember reading that on a triplock crown the crown actually bottoms out on the tube and that the seal is compressed inside the rim of the tube. I should be installing the crown tomorrow so we'll see what happens. -Mike
  5. Dont even think about selling it. When you get a rep and start seeing all the little things that are wrong with it you will definately regret it. The moon watch is a classic.
  6. Here is a 5517 that I just finished doing a little bit of work on. Its not as high end as TMG's 5517 bit I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. -Mike
  7. Some more information: I used a crystal press with an appropriately sized deep aluminum die to press on the retaining ring. It is strange because the crack developed over time, not immediately after installation. I am thinking perhaps it may have been a defect in the crystal that caused the plastic to be too brittle. I have replaced the crystal for now with a much cheaper helfands flat T39 to see if the crack develops again before I install another expensive superdome. Thanks, Mike
  8. Hello, I have been doing some searching and I havent been able to find any specific information on a problem I am having. Has any of the modders had any problems with a Clark crystal? I installed a Clark T39 on my mbw 1665, and recently I noticed a crack had developed all around the crystal at the top of the metal rehaut ring that it is fitted over. Has anyone else experienced this problem before, or has anyone had to do anything to prevent this? Thanks for your help, -Mike
  9. I've wanted one of these for a long time, I would definately buy one.
  10. Whats wrong with it?, it sure looks gen to me.
  11. Anyone? I know lots of these crowns have been installed.
  12. Haha, thanks, I was just going to post that picture. I knew the one in the crown was bigger. I need that thick bastard on the far right closest to the crown. -Mike
  13. I could really use the help of some of the modders here. I am installing a Gen 703 triplock crown and I'm using a Clark case tube. the tube came with 4 seals which I can figure out where to put. However I cannot figure out which type of gasket to use in the crown. I have read elsewhere that the same o-ring that goes inside the tube also goes in the crown. I tried this but the o-ring just seems to tighten against the grooves on the end of the tube. This seems to tear up the seal and I don't think it will seal well. Can anyone with experience please tell me what type of seal is used in a gen 703 triplock crown and where I can find one. I would greatly appreciate this information. Thank You, Mike
