Is there anyone out there that is familiar with the "Lemania Handwound Chronograph" aka "Seagull (was it ST-2 or ST-19) "? I was wondering how many clockwise turns it takes to fully wind up that movement? The only posts i have found are indications that the watch must be wound "to-the-stop" or until there is resistance --> i have never owned a seagull chrono movement, but the 7750s wind much easier, whilst this seagull winds with more resistance than I am used to; thus i cannot really estimate when more resistance occurs so as to stop winding Looking forward to the input! Thanks all!

Hello all, going to Bangkok and will be going rep hunting. (Of course not only) Ive been reading around at RWG and MBK seems to be the place to go- or stick with the TDs. All I have read so far is "MBK" and "Rolex" in pretty much the same sentence. But what about other Reps? AP's, IWC's, Tourbillons (?).... has anyone seen good reps of those in Bangkok? There has to be SOMEONE selling those in Bangkok that members of RWG would be proud to wear....right? Thanks in Advance!

Hello fellow RWGers, Tourbillons. A Complication considered irreplicable not too long ago. What do you guys think of them? Is it worth it? Could it be an everyday-er? Would you get it in Gold or Steel (considering the fact that the Gold plating will not last, unlike the Steel just being......well, Steel ) Ive seen some good ones out there, for instance the IWC Portuguese or the Vacheron. Which one would you choose? Looking forward to your comments!

Hello Guys, Perhaps you could take a look at the attached pictures... Dark/light spots on the polished surfaces at 6 and 7 o'clock, and darker spots at the brushed area at 12 o'clock. Tried to wipe it away with water and a little hand-dishwashing liquid. Bad idea? Thanks in advance for your comments on this, much appreciated! That said, the watch is gorgeous, nonetheless.

Legend, Frazzle1 and Panerai153, Thank you for your replies! I did not know that those watches were plated- you learn something new everyday. I shall buy with confidence! Enjoy your day, and enjoy your watches

Hello Fellow RWGers, I was thinking of getting a Gold Classic Royal Oak- since we all know the Gold is not real, I wanted to ask whether anyone has experience in this? Does the Gold fade quickly? And, in what cases does the gold fade? Looking forward to your experiences and answers. Cheers

Hello all, has anyone ever bought this watch? What are your experiences with it? How is the AR with this version? How close is it to genuine? I have noticed that the "DAYS" is larger than in the original... or is that an illusion? Thanks in advance for all the contributions! http://tswatchltd.com/15580-iwc15580-big-pilot-5019-black-ceramic-ny-25j.html

I have had similar problems with my 3789. In my case, I brought it to a watchmaker- upon which he told me that the spring was not fully functioning anymore. Perhaps you should bring it to a watchmaker. I would not use the method you stated: Does the fix work whereby I pull out the crown and press the start/stop pusher until its at 12 again or is that only for quartz

Oh and the fact that it is Domi's invention came surprising to me, and explains the fact that only he and a half a handful of others can pull of this mod. Again, Thanks

Oh, I'm sorry, I did not mean to come off cold and unappreciative. I appreciate any answer I can get! Thanks Gentle, Markiemark and Rolexman for your help. I'll ask him anyways, and I will let you know if it was successful.

No, I do not. But I do tell him to change the pistons in my engine. Just not how to. That explains a lot, thanks! I forgot to mention that he makes his own watches too, upon request, and of course under extensive financial agreement.

Hello my beloved APers, got my first AP and with it, the infamous problem with the sec@12 movement So now I'm calling out to you guys to please enlighten me with a detailed description of what the Jewel Mod actually is. I have no intimate knowledge of watch movements, but I do see an advantage here, and I have very good reasons to ask such an extensive question, so please bear with me: My watch is at my local watchmaker, getting serviced soon. Since he is replica-friendly and is an AD for many swiss watchmaking brands like Breitling, Longines, Cartier, he (and his team of 5 watchmakers, i think) seems to be quite the professional. Now the advantage that I see in this situation: "Why not try and ask him whether he can pull off a jewel mod?" I figured it neither would hurt nor would it cost anything to ask, plus it would be a great advantage to all of those that are thinking of doing the jewel mod or those still to encounter the sec@12 problem, to know that there is yet another watchmaker capable to do it. Now to the problem: I have only a very vague and faint idea of what the problems with the sec@12 movement is, the most frequently used word being "!!!!!!!FRICTION!!!!!" to describe it. And something with "gears". -Yes, I'll glady take the smirks and grunts those of your reading this, because I myself am amused about how little I know about the watch i spent 500$+ for. For me to be able to ask him, therefore, I would like to ask you if you guys could explain to me what, exactly, the problem is, and what, exactly, the jewel mod is and does. For those of you patient enough to answer this question, I am very thankful And for those that are tired of seeing this topic AGAIN, I am very sorry!

Oh and Legend, is the pinion length on all Versions of the CP the case?

That is good news, I actually thought that the factory made some sort of mistake, perhaps dial height position or some sort of Movement placement mistake! Thanks once again Legend, for the quick and simple reply

Hi Guys, I have a quite interesting question- Is it normal that there is an extensive gap between the dial and the centre of the hour and minute indicators? I know that there has to be SOME gap, but this looks huge! Check it out, maybe kindly check out your own AP ROOs (that are not franken), let me know if this is normal: Thanks for your help!!
