  1. Of course the beat is off. The two things on the balance wheel change the beatrate. if the beatrate is exactly as it should be, the watch keeps perfect time. if the beatrate is off, the watch does not keep time. you can seriously do this yourself, if you dont care about 5sec's +/- a day, I have done this a dozen of times!
  2. that is total [censored]. as The Zigmeister staited, most of the movements he serviced were JUNK from the factory. they had dirt in them, were not oiled properly, had boken gears and so on! also bullsheat, read the previous comment. if a watch has a crappy movement, it can die any day! dunno about you, but if I spend 300$ on a watch, I expect the watch not to break in the ivent I press the pusher TWICE within 15seconds! this shouldnt harm the watch in any way, if its correctly fabricated this should also not work/harm the watch that is correct. also correct for genuine movements! that is also 100% correct, but I doubt any of the problem happened due to the owner messin' with the internals!
  3. I think Ubi didnt find his pin, cause he never replied to my PM and I dont wanna bother him again SO anyone else know a source for this pin or has a spare one?
  4. yes... canadian dollars and my cash also went to the bank today!
  5. First of all, I'm not really into "cow" leather, because it doesnt have a real pattern. I think its just boring. It is alright for ocasianal wear, but I get sick of it very easy! And since the fiddy is among the best, I dont care to invest in it. The new style swan neck movement is already on its way and will be installed soon. And because I like the fiddy SO much, I went with a genuine Honey Phyton strap. Yes, its from elliot, and he might not have good ethics, but seriously, I dont really give a [censored]! If I see something I like, I buy it, and noone else could offer me a strap like that. You dont have to share my view of things. If you dont want to buy from him, thats fine with me! I will also only buy from him, if I see something I like. I even bought something from TTK back when I had the biggest fights with him, because I can differentiate between business and social intercourse! ALso I like the feeling of having an "animal" around my wrist. With this strap, you really get the feeling, you have something alive on your wrist. Its mainly because if the pattern and how it feels. The Quality is quite good, though the stiching doesnt appear to be uniformly continuous. Some stiches appear to be smaler than others. Also I have the impression, that the scales will rip very easy. But I have only had the straps for a couple of days, so time will tell! If it looks like crap within 2 weeks, this WILL be the last strap I bought from elliot. Hopefully (for him&me) it wont! I just wore the thing for 2 days and got a shitload of compliments on the strap. Each of my friends was like "WHOOWSAH!!!"... my girlfriend is the only one who didnt like it at all. She doesnt even want to touch it. I accidentaly touched her with it in bed and she started jealling and screaming and kicking. She things its groce. But like I said, I dont really give a crap what other think about me, my opinion or the stuff I wear Another Con is, that the original Buckle does not fit properly. The Strap is not a 26/26, its a 26/24 I would say. Regardless of all the cons&opinions, it is the nicest strap I have owned so far! I really like the scales and the pattern and such. Shipping took a few days, came with UPS Express. Downside, freakin UPS guy woke me up at 9pm on my day off! Now I only need the new movement from Sean and the watch will be perfect! See the pics (some of them didnt turn out very good, unfortunatly I didnt notice that on the camera!):
  6. "soon", "soon" i CANT hear it anymore! i have enough CA$H atm to buy this motherf---er but wuld only spend 900$ on a swiss 7753 or max. 400$ on an asian 7750!
  7. now we only need to know, weather the silix version is equal to the paul/trusty version. i really need to get one of them for a friends b-day!
  8. yes, his price is double, but his price on CN Unitas watches was almost TRIPLE the silix price a while ago and not a bit better
  9. is there a difference between silix lighters and the ones trusty and paul offer?
  10. no, i wasjust [censored], b/c traut outbid me on ebay
  11. [censored] "traut (422)" whoever you are!
  12. seems like my fingers are faster than my keyboard
  13. you can see the list here: http://www.rwg.cc/donations/
  14. lol thanks guys.... FYI, I tunrned 14
  15. that guy is such a [censored]in moron, he keeps telling me it is genuine! first he tells me "thanks for telling me, that its not genuine, but what do you mean with replica?" then I teill him, and he tells me "No, its a genuine montblanc movement blah blah blah, not chinese!!!"
  16. be careful! his account might be hacked, too!
  17. thanks guys i know movements come with a stem, but the problem would be getting the crown of the other stem and attaching it to the new stem (I doubt I could do that). And the movement I bought has the recessed pin already fixed (it is the VERY new swan neck movement with engraved bridges ans SWORD shaped swan neck regulator!) will post pictures once I recevied the movement and put it in myfiddy! thanks guys i know movements come with a stem, but the problem would be getting the crown of the other stem and attaching it to the new stem (I doubt I could do that).

  18. yepp, me too! but I dont like the regular regattas either!
  19. I'd wear my DW 6263 at an AD. I would even pass it to them!
  20. I'm going to upgrade my fiddy and I was wondering if I need a new stem&such or if the old stem from the CN Unitas fits the SWISS Unitas?
