What well what ?

Right !

I believe that the date alignement depends of the movement... The v6s with the 3135 clone might be better than the a2836 maybe

Hi and welcome, this is the best place ! Salut camarade Parisien

Hi and welcome

You have a great tool to remove the spring bars next to your watch... Congrats on this mod, find a gen chrystal like this is not easy !

I will buy shortly a nice gen watch to my local AD...here is the choice that makes me hesitate: 1) Omega speedmaster MK2 co-axial , black dial from december 2014 in great condition. 2) Rolex explorer 2 16570 , white dial, from 1997, in very good condition. I love them both, but what do you guys think...should i stay with Rolex or should i try this beautiful Omega reissue of the vintage 1969 speedy ?

I love this music, thanks for sharind that

This is damn beautiful ! The case is superb

Nice one !

End of story for me; i received the watch this morning, and when i tried to remove to tube with the right tool, this tube suddenly broke in the middle... half of the tube stayed inside the tube ! They must have used a VERY strong glue when screwing this stock tube. I made this operation maybe 20 times and it's the first time i see that ! I unscrewed the rest of the tube but the case thread is definitely destroyed now; i feel a bit sad because this watch is really nice

WELL SAID !!! I think exactly the same... to re tap is a real job and if you are unlucky this day, there is 50% of chance to definitely ruin the thread

Yes, i will share some pics when i get all the parts ! I got a good new from automatico today; he told me that most part of MBW cases have the good thread to fit a gen tube... if ever mine is not correct, i will re tap the thread ! I found today the right tap (3.0x0.35) i lost at home to do the job; i did this mod a few years ago on a 5512 cartel case

Many thanks boss, that is a great info

Thanks for this great comparison my friend...I have a gen spec tube on the way to install on the MBW case ! Miracles do not exist this time I received also a mint wrapped 703 crown(gen) from a french seller, and i want to share the link. They are for sale for only 42 euros+ shipping http://www.watchesulike.com/fr/rolex/8894-couronne-rolex-submariner-acier.html

Many thanks boss, that is a great info Found that http://www.ebay.fr/itm/3mm-x-35-Metric-Taper-and-Plug-Tap-M3-x-0-35mm-Pitch/270859972823

Seems easy indeed, but what is the tap size ?

Love it very much on a jubilee !

Thanks

Could we have a picture of the stock MBW tube next to your athaya tube to compare ? Thanks in advance I remember that the stock cartel tube has a very small diameter...i guess this is bigger on MBW

Great, thanks for keep us update

The gen crown will screw directly on the ETA stem, always !

Many thanks for having taken time to answer, here I am reassured now
