Lo'

Thanks a lot Baleine. I'll look into that.

Inflation is an heartless monster http://www.tradingeconomics.com/switzerland/inflation-cpi

B&R, Panerai, Urwerk... There are a number of gorgeous hi-tech pocket watches out there but so far nobody has tried to replicate one. Am I correct?

To all our friends on the other side of the pond all the best and enjoy your day.

I beg to differ. My b&s strap came in tonight and I think it compliments the 6263's vintage look perfectly. sent forn mungalaxy jote 3 usong tapatalk and this crappy onsc4een keyolboars

I'm waiting for a b&s brown leather strap and in the meantime wear my 6263 with this suede strap. I have never worn something as lightweight, souple and comfortable. sent forn mungalaxy jote 3 usong tapatalk and this crappy onsc4een keyolboars

Hi Joey, I have read... no! I have studied all the posts in which you explain your luming technique; but knowledge cannot replace practice and so far I have generally been unable to extract a movement from its case without breaking something.... I'm biased but I'll give your suggestions a thought. Thanks a lot for the tips and advices.

Thanks Jack, thanks Droptop. I'll give it a try and wait some more. I wish I had the nerve to try and do that by myself...

morning gents, So far RA has been squarely ignoring my PM and my email . Time to move on I guess... Domi would be the next on my list but if I remember well he does not do lume; am I right? I don't know about anyone else in europe. Can you recommend someone?

And what about something like this:

Thanks a lot for the highlights CJ. It's noted.

According to me once you get a good rep with a good movement its quality is not dissimilar from that of an average piece from (nowadays) lesser brands such as Movado or Tissot. I expect my franken with its brand new ETA 2824-2 to run flawlessly as any other well constructed watch will do. Of course your mileage may vary but, unless your rep is a dirty 21j assembled at the crappiest chinese workshop you should be good to go for a long time. That being said TC does not run a chinese sweatshop and he is not your average watchmaker either. You will get nothing but the best from him. I would go so far as to say that the quality of his builds with their hand-picked dials, cases and movements is (much) superior to that of some pieces from the a.m. mentioned (nowadays) lesser brands. **Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated to TC and have (alas!) not been paid in TC Submariners to endorse TC and/or TC's products.

If you'll indulge me, my own two cents on this interesting thread: I've been (and to some extent still am) the guy which will PM you and ask if you're gonna sell that piece. This does not mean that I don't want to be bothered with learning. Yet there is so much to know that the task can feel overwhelming and in the end what a person may be inclned to is a beautiful object in the mail and call it a day. Sometimes you've got to hold a precious thing in front of your eyes and let its essence get to you before beginning to appreciate the culture that underlays it. Many of us work this way; we all want to have and then slowly discover the pleasure that comes from being but this too is a matter of experience and again, many will ignore their lack of knowledge.

Thanks a lot for chiming in M. As usual before posting my question I should have leafed through your repository... my bad.

Thanks Diesel (can I call you Vin? ) surely will. Any other suggestion? I have tried comparing this with good pictures of a gen and it looks spot on to me, except the coronet which is not quite there. Am I missing anything else?

Thank you so much Tom. I had noticed the 110 too but that's not the only number which is quite mis-alligned.... whatever so right now the shopping list is new bezel and Ofrei's pushers. I'll drop an eye in the parts section of the forum.

Here goes

Thanks a lot. Sorry for the crappy pics. Here are a few better ones.

This came through the mail this morning. The seller claims it was built and aged by the Spinmaster while the movement was tweaked and serviced by Domi. It looks perfect to my untrained eye I'm therefore seeking the experts advice: where/how is it perfectible according to you?

Got it. Since I've just been sending him a PM on here I'm going to wait for a couple of say before emailing, just to avoid redundancy [emoji1]

Hi M Akira ' the first modder I have tried to reach since 99% of this watch is the fruit of his work. He replied that he's too busy elsewhere. [emoji20]

Gotta love the USA... Thanks again BC. I've been PM'ing the modder. Let's see if and when (and what) he answers back.
