Nice SD, You have plenty of watches but all your photos make me wonder how many shirts you have Very nice mate. Love the cuffs! Classic. Great shot. Two can play that game

Very nice guys @Estaban Killa strap. Where did you get it?

Hello my friend The cannon pinions that come with reps is to short. This causes two problems. First is in order to clear the running seconds hands the factory has to bend the minute and hour hand. Second, due to the height they cannot make the minture hand flush with the cannon pinion. The correct way to fix it is put a taller cannon pinion in. Davidson sells the set, but you can also contact reputable modders to do this for you. If you want the exact eta part number it is 240 for the cannon pinion and 250 for the hour wheel. If you plan to do it yourself, just a word of wisdom: do not forgot to take apart the crown lever assembly, and crimp the cannon pinion when you reinstall it so your watch will keep accurate time. Hope that helps Cheers T

If memory serves me correct Twotone has probably one of the best wrist shots showing his bigbang and lovely dress shirt. My quick shot this morning before heading off for family pictures. Nothing like some of the ones i have seen. Hey TT, you got any new ones for us? I think Camel Hair and Rose gold go well. So come on lets see your dress shots please!

Naturally the 21jewel asian movement is not going to sweep as nice as the eta version . For an upgrade in price you can get a 28,800 VPH eta clone movement that sweeps just as good. To be completely honest i am not for sure how many watches are getting real ETA movements anymore. Now my experience is with GZ watches only. It is my knowledge that silix and other dealers might be getting their watches else where. Cheers T

Could not have said it better, SIMPLIICITY! My next favorite model, the 000 or 009. It is a toss up.

Thank you . The top plate lume is harder than it looks. It is more than just slapping some lume on the back of the top plate. Glad you like your 111 that flav did. Teejay Just let me know when you are ready to send yours to me I am booked solid through december and January is starting to fill up. Cheers T

Dear All Many of you know him and many of you do not. The Top Plate Lume was one of flava's specialties. I am lucky enough to know Flava personally, and have seen many of the watches that he has done. They all looked great, felt great, and most impressive his mods were some of the closet that came to the real thing. I have spoke with many of his clients and they all have been happy with his work. It is a shame that he has decided to call it quits. His love for watches and modding is apparent in his work. Now I do know the sentiment is not shared by all of us! Lets remember that we are not machines, and human hands can never be that precise. When looking through a 10X loupe we all can find mistakes that people make. What I like most about Flava is his professionalism! For instance, he received one of the very first modded watches that i had done, and rather than plaster my mistakes all over the boards he gave me a quick pm and explained the situation to me. In my field that is known as professional gratis! Thanks flava for inspiring me to do pieces such as this Cheers T

The watch is made as a gen as a limited editen less than 100 pieces Cheers TWP

Excellent looking watch. The mods are incredible. You could not have picked a better watch to do this too!

I really forgot about this watch for a long time, and my interest had been spark by a post that circulated a few weeks ago. Thanks, Victoria Once again, if you need to find an item that might be a little off stream, then Narikaa is the person to contact. Before becoming a collector I always got my watches from him. Thanks for getting this one for me Reg. An ugly watch ? Actually, rather beautiful. Cheers T Oops, I forgot to add pictures

I while back there was a guy that was selling non branded casebacks for the 45 mm case. Let me call some people and do a little research. I hope a can give you the url ; Cheers T

Dear All My supplier has verified today that the majority of current models of UPO are getting this movement. To get the right movement he has told me that he has to buy, seperately, and put in. Thus, I am pulling done my UPO listings on the website due to the high cost of this service. Cheers T
-
A legitimate case if the movement is indeed 2824-2, but you can get an unbranded gen 2842 for 50.00 USD from ofrei. I am not for sure about the SW200 movement, otherwise known as stellita. Here is a picture of the movement.

Saber Hello my friend. Wohler, Tavan, Balmar, Louis Bolle, SUG, Bernoulli, etc are all cheaply made watches that are marketed by always at market. They have created lavish stories about their watches. These are cheap movements, and cheap watches my friend. I know this because i use to sell them. The only good watches are the SUG Nautilus, which is discountinued, and a couple of the Balmars that are discountinued. If you decide you like your watch, go to ubid.com . You could have picked up the watch there for half the price. CHeers T

Dear All Last week a customer brought the second hand sweep to my attention on the UPO. I asked the customer to send the watch back to me, or to open up the caseback to see what movement was inside. He opted for the latter and sent me pictures. I was shocked at what i saw. Instead of ETA2824-2 movement, there was an ETA 2842 which explains the the sweep of the seconds hand. I confronted my supplier about this and he has stated something that we all know, the stocks of 2824-2 are drying up in China. Secondly, the factory had lied to him and had told him 2824-2, this fact really does not shock me. I will be updating my website. I would like to ask other owners, of late, to open their casebacks and take a looksy at your movement! Not really concerned whom you got it from, that is irrelavant, just want to see if this is an isolated incident or should we expect a trend? Indeed if it is a trend then the price should come down! The 2842 is not a bad movement, but I, as we all do, hate false advertising! Thanks T

Really no contest. This watch gets compliments all the time. No kidding. My favorite watch. I have bought a new case, new bracelet, and a ETA 7750 for this bad boy Cheers
