Nice gen quartz Seamaster. Not mine, but my mates that’s been in my care and about to go back to him. Cheers @SSTEEL for the work done.

eBay, or Ali??? If no joy, try emailing the TD’s with a photo of what you’re looking for.

Sh!t the bed AJ, that looks insane. If it goes as well as it looks you’re on to a winner.

Thanks for being so quick on it boss. RE sales - that applies to VIP and above. If you’re a non paying member you’ll need to upgrade to VIP to be able to sell.

Here’s my take on a Seamaster Pro/PO hybrid. Ill have to admit that I didn’t build it though. That was done by @SSTEEL

Any of the trusted dealers can help. Look in their section.

Reps, gens, frankens, steel, Titanium, on leather, on steel, black or blue. The choice is difficult so I’ll wear them all! OK, decision made. A Franken on leather. Gen relumed dial, gen bezel and an eta 7750. I (really!) do like a Seamaster chrono.

That’s about the correct price. I have a ceramic insert ordered and IIRC it was $60 or so.

Try a pm.

If it was mine it would be a chisel and hammer, but then I’m a marine engineer not a watchsmith. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will be along shortly.

Just don’t pay via Paypal gift - if you get some piece of crap instead of this looker there is no comeback.

That’s why there are lots of friendly people who will help you if you ask. They can either give you guidance to do it yourself - or probably better if you send it to one of the modders here to do if for you.

If it’s only the colour of the second hand putting you off, then this could easily be repainted.

Oh indeed mate. Still, I’ve been here nearly 5 years now so will soon be out of short trousers myself.

I bet @Nanuqwas young and good looking back then, @Mike on a bike was probably still in short trousers and @Legend was not even a twinkle in his fathers eye!

Absolutely AJ. If my memory serves me right, he worked for years designing Patek’s movements.

Nice. Not for shy or retiring types though. Shame that the founder of Roger Dubuis, Roger Dubis himself died last year.

Wow, a blast from the past. There are quite a few names there that have stood the test of time and are still around today. And, the old format is very ‘noughties’.

Gen goodness.....

The secret to getting it to work is to supply a bottle of Scotch to the mods lounge........

They are a chain of shoe repair shops that also cut keys and service watches. The watch servicing on site usually consists of bracelet adjustment and battery change. Why would anyone with a watch worth anything go there? Although they can generally send watches away to their service centre and a real watchsmith. I did go into a branch and they pressure tested my Seamaster Chronograph and it passed with flying colours - to their machines limit.
