Wondering how to set the calander so I dont break the dang thing. Ive seen instructions for the 7750's but nothing like this. Anyone know how to go about it?
I just got my set in the mail.
Both are slightly different. One movement is by Savoy watch co and the other is Wittnauer watch co. Very similar movements. Both hand wound, 17 jewel. The crowns are just screw in ornaments, not real crowns. I was hoping to wind these up and see if they'd actually move while I work them, but no luck. Very cool though. Ill have to take some pics on my shirt tonight.
AFAIK Canada has even more liberal law regarding reps than the US. I doubt that you were in much danger. I supposed that's really the key. Know your local laws.
I think it has alot to do with what country you live in.
If a AD seized my watch in the US, I think I'd be calling the cops. You're not breaking any laws by wearing it around. Other countries mere possession is illegal so YMMV.
If I really really wanted a seconds at 6 model, I would seriously consider removing the extra gear drives for the subdials once I got it. That should up the reliability factor, but you lose some functions. Have to decide what is important I guess.
Just a small quibble, but WE aren't stealing money from the Gen companies. Its the people making and selling the reps that are doing it. After all we are not the ones profiting on the sale. Depending on your various local laws you may be committing various other crimes though.
