  1. Everyone is showing their new 372's off and I just wanted to be a part of the crowd. Here is my 372 I ordered from Andrew :).

    Now that the shock has worn off, I should start by saying that there was nothing wrong with the watch. I took it completely apart because I wanted to fix a few things with the cg and also wanted to check out the movement. My concern was that they disabled the running seconds like they did on my 390 (snipping the off long pivot).

    I found a few interesting things that I thought others would also find interesting. The first was the thickness of the dial. The dial is extremely thick, which allowed the fourth wheel pivot to be left long. There is a small cutout on the back of the dial for the long pivot.

    Because the dial is so thick, they had to add a cap onto the canon pinion. It is a very interesting solution.

    Because there is a cap on the canon pinion, the hour hand had to have a long tube. Haven't really seen one quite this long before. This allows the hour hand to fit over the cap and grab onto the canon pinion.

    The last thing I noticed on my watch was that there was a ton of adhesive on the faux plates. It looks like they used double sided tape or dial strips to hold them on. There was no way my plates were coming off without a lot of help.

    Now it's time to get her back together. Thanks for reading!!!!

    The plates had to come off in order to get to the movement tabs, is that correct?
