how hard is it to create an ETA movement ring? I can model in 3D, has anyone tried to 3D print one? Is it a matter of measuring the diameter of the gen case and the diameter of the movement, then creating a ring that fills the delta? What are the square notches for that I see on the rings available on the market?

On the way: 5500 case NOS 78350 bracelet with 557 endlinks Whoopy dial and hands ETA 2453 movements (1 extra just in case) Does any know exactly which Movement ring I need for this setup? Would like to purchase the right ring the first time. Any links would be appreciated.

Excellent, do you know what size ETA movement ring I would need? Would it be the same ring for both the 2846 and 2452? There are quite of few of these movements available on the bay but most are marked 'for parts only' or part of actual watches. I would probably lean toward a donor watch so that I know the movement has not been sitting out in the open, exposed, for who knows how long. Any opinions, good or bad, on using this approach to procuring a movement?

Would this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ETA-2824-2-AND-SELLITA-SW200-CLONE-MOVEMENT-SEAGULL-ST2130-100-EXACT-SAME-SPECS-/111190130987?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e372c12b But would the date wheel need to be disabled for the watch to function properly?

Hi y'all I'm thinking about starting my first watch project, a vintage Explorer 1 using a gen 5500 case. What low-beat, no date movement would you suggest I look for? ETA-2846?

Whoever produced this should be ashamed of themselves.

Or the cartel could get together and just produce a ceramic bezel with the accurate paint color. Why is this so difficult?

Yeah, the 116610's seem plentiful these days.

Yeah, I agree that's an insane amount to pay because you would probably never get that back.

Is this GBP or USD?

What is the max you would pay for new? used? No idea what the market value is because I've never found one for sale.

I remember seeing them in the grocery stores when I was young but I don't even see those anymore. WU could have pioneered the online currency business but they were satisfied with the status quo. Doesn't surprise me with 2.3M people under correctional supervision in our nation's jails and prisons. That's a lot of commissaries!

Is Venmo available overseas? But they were recently acquired by PayPal so I don't know what changes they have planned for their TOS.

I personally don't like WU because it is a pain in the ass to setup. I tried once and you have to go into a Western Union retail location and complete the registration. Then you have the exorbitant fees. The only people that use Western Union in the United States are people who send money to jails and prisons. There are just too many better options to bother with it.

Welcome Lee! I love the prohunter watches but be warned that the finish isn't great (looks more gunmetal to me). True PVD is really cost prohibitive so I'm getting mine bead blasted, then recoated with ceramic. Good luck to you.

One of my most memorable nights ever was in the reeperbahn. Welcome!

Totes jelly!

Not the problem you describe but the picture attachment feature has gone completely downhill (I have pro). Pictures used to be hi-res and crisp. Now they have a high rate of compression and only go to 1200 pixels

After doing some research, I think it means getting some acetone, some platinum colored paint and a fine tip brush. I'm thinking scale model paint but I wonder if anyone that has done the mod can share which brand paint/color they successfully applied.

Huh? All I was saying is that 5 watches is a lot to buy for a first purchase. Go big or go home right? Enjoy you watches

I wonder why it's called Montauk Highway. Does it have some connection to LI?

Will a startime or Clark bezel not click per gen?

Too easy for the pro's here... I'm left feeling so unsatisfied

Is there an equivalent of a TC or BK for IWC's in the states?
