  1. Just to inform you that Strapcose site has a running sale now http://www.strapcode.com/store/xmas-sale-c-296.html?infoBox=13
  2. Old but gold "if it works don't touch it"
  3. Auch... What's the case made of? It looks like a piece of iron after a batch in acid. Is this just the result of the time?
  4. With Alps mountains in the background
  5. My bad: Asian, otherwise the gen I bought would have fitted
  6. I'm in trouble with a movement because the inca spring (similar to this below) got broken as soon as I touched it... I have already bought new springs model 170.03; 974.03 and they doesn't fit (they are too thin in the "bar" that block them on one side, so they don't stay in the incablock). Now I'm gonna order 476.03 and 570.03, but if someone has a spare one around that knows it fits, I really would be grate. Thanks a lot, GenTLe
  7. Finally: before mounting the autowind bridge have 1 liter of chamomile ... Yesterday 1.30h to mount that bastard... Once the oscillating pinion was going out, another time the reverse gear was moving, then the hammers, maybe all ok but the hour pinion was not in the jewel... AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
  8. Have the same piece. Lovely. Ah and works well also as bit_h magnet: when they see all that gold they go mad
  9. Because this is the one I asked about 1 month ago and you told it was not looking very good
  10. For you Ezio Back on wrist after self made full service and repair (also thanks to SSteel that gave me a new main plate for free)
  11. Hi All, does anyone have experienced the differences between the standard green and the "premium" grey rodico? Tnx, GenTLe
  12. Ah yes... Plus the main spring winder, 'cause without it you simply can't reassemble the main spring... About the Fixodrop, I got it (5cc) from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moebius-8941-Fixodrop-Pour-epilamage-For-epilame-2-5-5-ou-10-ml-a-choisir-/400280543549?pt=FR_MaisonJardin_Horloges&var=&hash=item5d3294613d
  13. Take care when placing the automatic device bridge: the oscillating pinion tends to disengage from the "clutch 60 s, 2 functions" and then, when you screw the automatic dev bridge you risk to break the oscillating pinion...
  14. In the animation the Jisma 125 is used only for the dring pinion which, in the eta chart, is replaced by Molycote DX For Jismaa 124, the alternative is Moebius 9501 Anyway, if you download the latest Eta lubrification charts, there's no Jismaa/9501 for the 7750 (it's only in the 2836 and 2824 cannon pinion with driving wheel)
  15. Currently Asian eta are better than fake or refurbished Swiss eta. And Noob factory gold plated Asian Eta are the best ones. If you want a gen good Swiss one then go for Sellita (if proposed as movement choice for your piece).
  16. Yes, and the prices are not like 220£... His official price list (last I've seen) was 100€ for standard service and 135€ for chrono
  17. Let's try a different approach: should the levers apply their force on the hand horizontal inferior surface, near to where they connect to their tubes or below the tiny tube wall sections (where there is the tiny step between the tube and the cannon pinion)?
  18. Yeah, but, even with the levers, how to avoid the hands to get split from their tubes?
  19. Hi Mark, can you give me some hints on how should I proceed? I'm just wondering: if I use a little file I'll not create burr and make the post even shorter; if I hit the top of the post with a punch tool (providing to find one with such tiny edge), there is the risk to make the post "fat" and block the gear, if I put a little drop of 2 component epoxy glue on the top of the post it may work but if it glues the gear I'm fu__ed... Tnx! Alex
