OK final picture for this moment. I aligned the dial got a new insert ( for

Frank you are right. Lately i'm getting too critical about my reps and i'm thinking of getting rit of a few to finance a gen. The dial is completely centered now and a new insert was brought to me today. I'll put the Pepsi insert in the bezel and maybe i'll get the black insert as well replaced and then it's done with thwe modding of this rep. Carpe Diem Cats

Boring but still the same beauty for today Have a nice day Cats

So he's a REP TTK ??? Carpe Diem Cats

Been wearing the same as Stephane today By the way Stephane how's your bracelet on your GMT Have a nice day Cats

That amounts mean a quit good Franken rep. Cats

Count me in, my wife and son are still in turkey baking in the SUN and i'm working my a** off here. I need some time to relax , this morning i put normal gasoline in my diesel powered Volvo. My car stopped on the ring of Antwerpen , towed off to Holland again got a E200 as a replacement and had to pay

Thanks db2 for your response. Then i have to get it regulated i think. Discovered that it looses at least 3 sec in an hours. I'll wear it for a few days and if it doesn't imporve it has to go of to the watch smith again. Carpe Diem Cats

I was aligning my dial with case to day and had to open the case and loosen the case clamp screws. In order to reach both srews a had to move the rotor. If did that in a clock wise and anti clock wise direction. Can this cause a deregulation of the movement ???. Carpe Diem Cats

Sql_pl i finally found some one who has to same habits like i have. Be careful if you don't control it it will cost you a lot of money. My 1680 was changed at least 7 times before i thought it was finished ( still need a true top hat for it ) Back to your problem. Let's start I'm not an expert but i think that the little metal spring that is in between the bezel ring and the crystal retaining ring needs to be adjusted . If you bent this spring so that it stick out more it will give more resistance to the turning of the bezel. But just wait until the rel experts chime in before you dismount your bezel. In the mean time try to relax ( not always easy if you ask me ) Carpe Diem Cats

That's impressive J, i always forget a few thing like crown tube crystal labor etc so that figures the invested money. Carpe Diem Cats

@ Jasonstacey Indeed we are interested in seeeing the pics of the beauty. Maybe you can also make brake down of the 4K you mentioned. Will hav e look again end this week the see this beauty. Carpe Diem Cats

My transformer doesn't have the click but the hexa spring , for easy chancing of the bezels. ( remark was a joke ) The dial was indeed not aligned but i fixed the north south issue it's compleet straight now. Changed it to my Pespi insert and i'm happy again. New Pespi is on it's way if that a good one i also will order a black one. Thanks for the help all you guys. Carpe Diem Cats

O is there no click i didn't notice that What i mean is that if you take a close look at the printing of bezel insert the 24 hour marker and the 12 o clock market don't line up. Like Redwatch also noticed. A new insert will give a total different look i think. Carpe Diem Cats

@ Slickdick , i agree the dial needs to be rotated 1 or 2 degrees clockwise. I managed to get the dial centered now and also rotated it clockwise. Don't get fooled by thew insert cuase the 12 o'clock marker is mis aligned. I'll try to shoot some new pics tomorrow Carpe Diem Cats

Opened the case and tried to move and turn the movement a little. But there is not much room for re alignment. Can't do it better then shown below. Not bad i think but still the movement needs to be shifted toward the 6 o'clock position a little. I also have the impression that movement isn't sitting in the center of the case it needs to be shifted towards the 9 o'clock position. I'll wear it for a while and shee if a canget used to it. Carpe Diem Cats

Thanks guy for the quick response. @ Alligoat all the case clambs and screws are in place. The watchsmith repaired it but didn't notice that it isn't completely centered in the case. One little question after i slightly unscrewed the case clamb screws i can move the total movement in the case ( with a tooth pick i assume ) but to get a visual check if it's centered a have to flip the watch head. Doesn't that move cuase shifting of the movement again ?? Carpe Diem Cats

I'm enjoying my GMT Transformer with the gen corwn and tube every day. But someting was different before i had it changed but i could put my finger on it. The issue is that after the installation of the crown and tube the case clamb screw broke and had to be fixed. The dial isn't completely centered in the case and it might be getting too critical but it bothers and annoys me. The dial has to be turned anti clock wise a little and maybe shifted a little to the 10 o 'clock position. If have the right Bergeon case opener and screw drivers and some common sence. Is to centering an easy fix or should i send it to out again to some one who has more experience with these fixes ?? Thanks for your advise Carpe Diem Cats

Sorry changed my mind before going out today. Have a nice day Cats

Still the same Have a nice day Cats

I'm with Seafoam with the black version Have a nice day Cats

Thanks Bu-Tor , i've been polishing them yesterday evening ( had lot's of time cause the family is of to Turkey for a week ). I've ordered a Pepsi insert form to guy you pointed out to me. Let's see if that's an improvement. Also found that that the black transformer is a beauty as well. So i changed it to the black. Have a nice day Cats

Still wearing the GMT transformer from BK Have a nice day Cats

My GMT transformer arrived yesterday and it look great with the gen crown if you ask. Dial position needs a little adjustment an good bracelet has to come on it and then it's finished ( for time being ) Have a nice day, Cats

Good work i like the end result. Carpe Diem Cats
