...not my style but fine work. i tried out something too. pure aluminium. cooked up and polished. interesting surface i think. dial and hands are lumed with C1 and C3. what do you think of my "artwork" ? i call it interstellar... ;-) black dials are beautiful but a little bit boring too.

it seems you got really fine tools and some practice working with leather. it is a great strap. congratulations from aachen... but your plants look a bit barely... well it is too early to pass a sentence ;-)

"Watchlovers - they love gens and reps because they respect the style, quality and craftmanship of both in relation to their value." thats it. namor wrote this. that is the great difference between us and the most people who wear "cheap fakes" to impress someone else. those guys have a lot in common with conceited gen holders... (or is "hoity-toity" the right word ? almost a funny word) they even don´t know how their watch works. a friend of mine is watchmaker. he really frets about customers with high graded mechanical watches and chrongraphs who don´t even know what they can do with their watch. he often had advised a quartz watch to someone like that... in germany we call this "perlen vor die säue". in free translation it means something like "to throw pearls before swine"... so its a decision for quality and style and not for reputation. my blackseal would be the same to me either when there are no engravings on it. so lets build up our own watch. the perfect watch ;-) has anyone a concept how this watch should look ?

great work you did with this strap. would be nice if you post some pics on "the making of" this strap. i guess there are a lot of guys in here sewing their own straps... please continue.

does anyone know who this seller is ? perhaps he one from here ... the cases and bracelets are cheap, but what do you think, are they accurate enough to build up a watch ? to me they seem to be ok. the sellers ebay name is "ticinowatchco", the article numbers are: 200083487536 and 200073601016

the problem is solved... it has been a drop too much of oil. it came from somewhere and took a rest on the hairspring. ;-) one could see without a glass that the spring didn´t work the way it should. thanks for your posts. ...less is often more.

thanks for your answer. hmm. how can something happen ? i didn´t move the watch. it just turned from one second to the other ? too much oil ? dirt ? i take it to my favorite watchmaker...

i am really wondering about my 111 G. it worked fine till now. but suddenly it began to go faster and faster. in the moment it is about 15 minutes forward. what is going wrong here ?

thank you for that statement. i thought to get some watches to build up my own "gen". kind of radiomir case without srewed crown and without all the needless markings on the case and dial. seems that this watch isn´t the right base for me. and the price is horrible too. he asks about € 275,-- for this watch. on fleemarkets in my region i can get a 127 or a 183 for example for about € 60,-- to € 80,--. better pic up the parts there...

I just ordered some lume from tritec. C3 and C1/White. I will post pics of the superlumed dial. I wrote, that a mixture of white and C3 should be the correct colour... have to try.

What do you think of this ? Case diameter is 44 mm. http://cgi.ebay.de/MARINA-MILITARE-RXW-VIN...1QQcmdZViewItem

thanks... it is really old leather. i had to put a lot of some lubricant we call "waffenöl" and after this beeswax on it to get it wearable. now it is really smooth and doesn´t rip off my skin any longer. ;-) i´m steadily looking for old and really thick leather. some old saddlers have such leather in stock. you don´t find two pieces that look equal. every strap will become unique. i love to work with this material. and my work gets better from strap to strap. fortunatly i found some old tools from my grandfather. he did exclusive boots for the polish cavalry officers in the years before 1939. i hope this thread will be continued... I wanna see some more handdrafted straps in here ... regards blackseal

a great watch. cannot stop staring at your pics. what happenend to the crown ? isn´t it srewed in or what ? please hurry with your instruction...

...of course we need better threads. the 183 is one of the best reps on the market. instead of this crown desaster. i haven´t worn mine since two month because of that ruined threats. i ´d like to have a new tube and crown in an good quality. and i like to get it in germany... for a proportionally price... otherwise i better get a complete new watch.
