Markers perfect on mine from Joshua

I have currently 44 reps. I also have a waterproof tester So far for the 39 rep diver watches I have, 37 were waterproof to >50m from the seller (Joshua). The 2 that were not were because in one case, there was no O ring fitted and in the second case the O ring was mis-fitted Basically with all divers, open the back, grease and refit the O ring, stick some grease in the crown and you are good to go I wear a watch all the time, including to shower and swim (3m). Reps can easily take this (I don't dive with my reps though, I wear my Christopher Ward C60's for that) Anyone near Heathrow UK that wants a watch checked, greased and depth tested just PM me S

Put a thicker case back O ring in. Case back must be touching or pressuring something Or take some fine sand paper and rub the black case back over it to reduce the thickness of the sealing surface a little Also check the case back retaining ring o make sure its smooth and hasn't got a lump or something to push on the black back

Yep, tighten the mounting plate screws that hold the mech in the case to make sure it inserted as far as possible. Also check the big screw holding the spinning weight in is tight Then check you have the o ring fitted Looks like back is touching the weight and stopping it spinning, does it run if you wind it. If so it's the spinner that's stuck. If winding doesn't work then the back is squeezing or distorting something in the mechanism

Take a look at the christopher ward c60 trident. Genuine watch with the styling you like and superb quality for rep price

Definitely sounds like the rotor is catching or something is loose

Don't buy a cheap set, false economy. Get a good quality set with replaceabl= e tips and spares. Learn to sharpen tips as well. Bad screwdrivers mank up t= he screw heads

I had this as well. Took the back off and tightened all the bridge, rotor and [censored] screws which were loose. Works fine now Loose screws were allowing the rotor to sit high and touch the case back when warm and expanded S

I've found a pic of a 3 year old genuine thats a good match hand length and font size. Still a dodgy rehaut and date alignment. Its been rejected

Thanks for all your help guys. She has passed up on it In fact she bought a Christopher Ward Coral Ladies instead for a 20th of the price S

Yes, ladies model Don't know year I'm afraid, friend said jewellers said newish. Not current though

Friend of mine has just been offered this at £3400 from a jewellers But rehaut letters looks shifted, date mag looks low, date high and font not so good to me. But I dont know this model at all.Bracelet has a hidden clasp not the normal oyster Any comments? Thanks Stephen

Xmas pressy from Wife

Obligatory Wristy Which TD will rep it first?

LOL. No AR, No Lume, No O rings, No screw in Crown, Miyota quartz However Micky is just stuck on face, so plenty of scope here to transfer mickey and hands to a cheap old rolex sub or similar for a very unique watch

Next project. Waterproof it!

Normally she moans about my watch habit, but she has just bought me a gen for Xmas and I love it. so got to wear this to work next week Thank you Sal click on thumbs to enlarge

As long as that fits and grips the back that's fine, its the same one I have. It unscrews in the normal direction Remove strap, Hold watch face in one hand, place that on the back and twist gently until it clicks into place, then unscrew firmly, should not be a problem If your watch guy cant get the back off a Pam, then he isn't a watch guy

Careful with winders where the watch face is not vertical, they often don't wind at all. Especially in reps the friction in the gears isn't overcome if the weight doesn't stay at the bottom as the watch rotates If you have a clear back, put the watch on backwards so you can see the weight rotate. My angled winder needs to be propped up a bit to get the angle over 70 degrees to get then to wind, the normal 45 degs dosnt work My vertical winder is fine though S

www.p-cls.com is the correct address. The others are very old ones or fake. Josh is extremely easy to do business with

Measured my wrist and its exactly 16cm So here is my 40mm PO And here is my 45.5 PO And a comparison of the 2 click on any thumbnail to see full size. Think most folks will agree not only does the 45.5 work, but it has more presence than the 40 Stephen

I have a 16cm wrist and the same watch. Its fine on my wrist. In fact its my favourite. I also have 42 mm version and prefer the look of the 45.5

Doubt if the crown has anything to do with the Source of the movement. Only the stem will change. Looks like the stem was cut too long on the Asian versions so the stem wont screw all the way down. Or the stem tube wasn't screwed into the case fully and is sitting proud. That's been the case on several of mine including the Swiss versions (which have a whole host of other problems like loose bridge screws and dirty movements). Generally I find that the Asian movements are cleaner and better put together as they were recently made, whereas the Swiss versions are put together from odds and ends from the scrap parts bin

Ah Josh has just told me its down for maintenance, panic over

Lets hope its just his ISP and not the Thought Police
