Thank you for taking the time, guys: very instructive, and I think you've cleared up the mystery for both myself and many others out there.
The definitive Radomir crown-and-stem-tube- cross-stripping explanation, in CinemaScope and Dolby Surround.
As you may know, my tongue has been hanging out for the WM Hommage model of which I've posted pictures of several times, but it's been just this issue that has kept me from pursuing the matter further.
In the meantime (WM posted his modded Radomir more than a year ago on the old RWG) people like Jay at Silixwatch have been offering three 47mm Vintage versions with the Moljina movement and the lovely California, Base and I-don't-know-what-to-call-it-other-than-WM-was-the-first-to-offer-such-a-version-with-that-dial.
After exchanging some messages with ubiquitous (who has set about single-handedly putting together the sumptuous Vintage Radomir pictured above) I contacted David about the possibility of having them custom-made in 44/45mm cases with decent movements. He replied that he's already working on the idea, and should have a series ready by the end of May.
Needless to say, I'm anxious to see what he's going to come up with, but whatever it is, it should be good - and the right time to pull the trigger.
That's all the news that fits for the moment.
It's been a pleasure learning from you two, and thanks for taking the time to dispel a bit of the usual fog dampening my neurons.
Best regards!
