Thanks Stephane for the review.' I'm on a holiday right now having a quick look in the hotel lobby on RWG. Mine is on it's way for almost one month so i might be lucky when in return from my holiday Friday finding a simple note from the post office that a parcel arrived for me. Regards, Cats

FxrAndy This is an example of a "chinese" 6497. Although if you live in the US with 6 dollar shipping its a bargain. http://cgi.ebay.de/6497-Unitas-Movement-Fi...1QQcmdZViewItem The Zigmeister: that's why i asked if ETA parts are shipped in bulk or always in a separate sealing. It could also be the case that i bended the axe when i removed the old cannon pinion which set very tight, on the aother hand we did hold the movement with a wooden tooth pick in it's place so too many force would have caused a broken tooth pick. I'lll keep you posted on the progress. Regards, Cats

We did try to install the cannon pinion with a bergeon jewel press also to support the bottum part of the axe. We couldn't press it on with manual power so we stopped. I will try a view other cannon pinion because it could be a flaw in that certain pinion. Regards, Cats

Nice to here that the CousionsUk are gen. Addition to the non-fitting situation. The pin fits but you can't push it down far enough so that it will click into the fixated position. Regards, Cats.

Just came back from yet another great test of my patience. 1 month ago i thought let's built, or i should say ask a good friend to do it for you , i nice rep and buy all the pieces needed from all over the wolrd. First of all i want to say that everybody who i asked for advice was very helpfull and some members even supported me with parts. I bought a skeleton movement from sizzlinwatches in the US and it came with a too short cannon pinion for a sw dail. So i mailed siizlinwatches and they fixed it by sending a new cannon pinion and hour wheel with the correct lenght H3. In the meantime , being very unpacient , i ordered 2 pairs at CousinsUk. They shipped and charged me for 1 set and an additional 8 pounds shipping cost so that was an expensive experince ( 15 pounds together ) . Came in a plastic bag ( are they gen ?? ) What i found out is that the cannon pinion from CousinsUk doesn't fit on the sizzlinwatch skeleton ( chinese copy ). If got 2 questions: - If you get a cannon pinion fix in a plastic back is it a fake or do they come in bulk packaging to our dealers. - did anybody had the same experience with ETA cannon pinion combined with Chinese copied movements. Regards, Cats

Depending on who delivered the watch , how much per day/week you change your straps and how carefull you are , i think you will need some springbars from River in the future if you have 12 srtraps laying around. And ofcourse your still missing a lot of nice PAM's , like i do. Regards, Cats

Had the same experience with my PAM 183 , my son let the small lug srews disappear. I emalied King with my propblem and he shipped free of charge 4 new screws, maybe a solution for your case clambs Cats

Tom, it almost looks you added to post of me together. The movement holders or actually case holders are hard to get. I have a internet link which i have to find and i will PM it to you. The golden potato chips shaped spring is called a dial washer and i know that bergeon sells them ( then your cat canplay aorund becaause youy have t obuy 150 pieces at once +/- 15 uero's. The dimensions are 5mm round with a hole of 3 mm in it. I'll shout you a PMon th elink for the movement holders. Regards, Cats

Ok sounds good i will give it a try when one of the spring bars starts to weat out ( or rather in ) Regards, Cats P.s. i'm still interested in your pic's

I don't understand. If i pull out the part with the tread can i put it in afterwards ?? Didn't i fysically destroy that part. could you post some pics of this operation/handling regards, Cats

wowo great looking strap. Maybe a stupid question but what type of MF is this. Regards, Cats

Welcome enjoy it and share your findings Judging on your name you did find your cup of tea here Regards, Cats

This baby will be with me during the weekend

I'm going to wear my just arrived ( thanks Usil )Bling Bling Big Pilot. What an AR it has

I don't mind if the "autorities" know my face. I am a Saint , act like a Saint and if i ,by accident unknowing etc. , bought a REP ( wasn't it a cheap GEN ??) i ask for forgiveness Regards, Cats

I thought i could keep it a well kept secret but now ....... regards, Cats

Yes it's slow compared to what we are used to. If taking it to Asia means that we have a slower website then it will be a thing we will have to deal with. Let's wait what will happen in next comings days. I have to go on a business trip for the next coming days so take your time Puerto Banus here i come

Welcome NORing, i just manually winded it but after 4 turns it's starting to hurt like hell. I think i'll stick to the watch fetish Cats

we have a poet on our forum.

Clear as i said let's wait and be innovative ( not here in this forum ) MOD can't you delete this discussion ??

I think we have to wait for a while and let's see what our moderators come back with. If everybody who's concerned about loosing the dealer and trading part spents 30 minutes thinking about a solution the "problem" will be solved soon

I need 1 or 2 pairs of springbars, the ones that river sells, for my 44mm Davidsen case. Can anybody help me out ?? Please shoot me a PM regards, Cats

Uhrenfreund I don't understand your last post. You may not agree that we first have to read a lot and then ask questions and if you do you get spanked for it. Then a member takes some time to clarify the situation and to put it into perspective and you come up with a Is it you pride thats hurt or just ignorance .

If you are ever thinking of selling this beauty ....... Hope you have a good insurance on this one.
