Police hope a blue and silver wristwatch may hold the key to solving the mystery discovery of human bones in bushland north of Sydney.

A mother and her 13 year-old son were walking along a bush track near Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River last Thursday when they came across a human skeleton at the base of a cliff.

The pair walked to a nearby fish and chip shop to phone police, who conducted a canvas of the area and found the old-style Citizen watch near the decomposed body of a man.

He was tall and wore a black sweater vest and dark trousers.

But police have few other clues as to who he is, how he died and why his death went unnoticed for so many years.

‘‘We are hopeful someone who has a missing loved one will recognise this watch and get the closure they deserve,” Detective Inspector Ian Mitchell said.

Police are trawling through missing persons records and have made contact with the manufacturer of the watch.

The bones will be forensically tested as well as assessed by an anthropologist to determine how old they are.

Based on the heavily decomposed state of the man’s body, Detective Inspector Mitchell said the remains had lay in bushland for ‘‘some time’’.

‘‘A lot hinges on the anthropologist’s report because it will give us a narrower date range for the remains and then we can really concentrate on particular elements,’’ he said.

Suicide could not be ruled out, considering the body was found at the base of a cliff, but police are keeping an open mind.

“It’s too early to make any assumptions as to the cause of death or the identity of the person,” Detective Inspector Mitchell said.

The watch has a blue face and silver band. The time has stopped at 12.37 and the date at Saturday the 14th.

Try wholesaleoutlet990 on ebay. Although their pearl is not great looking. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I found this to be impossible also, however, isn't the trick to position screw into hole with tweezers first? And then screw?

And this is another I have that isn't as 'frankened'

Dial, date wheel and gen insert.

All latest planet ocean versions don't have happy feet. But they are the crucial things to look for when picking the next piece. The ceramics are not known for their ability to take gen parts (I presume movement is of a different type and height etc)

The super franken I actually was lucky enough to snap up. Pics are below.

Yes and no. The Rolex Oyster braclet have wider middle links, however the center links of the Black Bay bracelet are much wider and the ratio between center and outer links width is off imho.

I see. Fair enough!

I really like the watch, but the band bugs me. I don't like the wide inner links verses the narrow outers. Throws off the look a bit. But, overall it is really cool.

Aren't most Oyster bracelets like that? Classic look I think they are.

Or to throw in more choices a quality Seiko or Orient would work well too

Remember that if you do intend to modify - aim for asian clone movement at minimum. Gen dial and hands will fit, as opposed to getting 4813 movement for example.

I think the sweaters are still on special from their USA website. You will need to use a shipping forwarder though

Don't know why this doesn't have more views or thank you notes.

Very well written, and comprehensive. It looks easy and provides well instructed steps and instructions.

Thank you!

I like tudors. Much more than the stigmatised rolex for example.

Anyway, my humble franken fantasy I picked up on forums.

Someone on rep geek has put me on to a friendly gentlemen called George Yoon. He is on 250 Pitt street. And is servicing my JLC NSD as we speak (well, maybe not right now) but you know what I mean.

The place is messy and all you smell is the moccona coffee. It's like one of those restaurants that isn't dressed up, but serves good food.

Member from rep geek has been going there for a certain period already.

I like him so far

Yeah. Just be upfront. There is a guide on rwi, assisting in finding, approaching and planning an unknown watchsmith. In most cases they want to wash their hands clean in fear that the movement or watch will fall apart on first touch. (which of course is not true).
