Just off to polish out the scratches I've just put into the plexi!

Looks like this is not going to be a safe queen

Good result in 30 minutes!

These watchmaster cases are damn good looking, especially the bezel

That is a GREAT looking watch. Looks so simple yet functional. And the movement is to die for. Must be nice to wind it once a week

Allways looking forward for your posts. You give a pictures of some of the nicest creations on the forum

Thanks for sharing

Dial and cg are gen.

That explains the roller on the lever

Very handsome 112. Congrats

Dial looks great! Lume and dial feet would be good additions. Thanks for your effort

bump and a question

do these hands fit also for cortebert 620R or only for 616?

This is one of the few rep 3646's with correct looking lugs. Impressive work...

I prefer the short point. Looks better that hour and minute hands are different width, but I guess I'm in minority on this

Great project - thanks for making it happen t!

My vote for cortebert hands is either 12 or 15

That is very surprising. T's crowns were built for rep cases. Rep cases purposely have thinner case tubes since they do not bother with the whole case tube with lip to facilitate functionality of spring loaded mechanism on the crown. And a gen crown has the encased spring system which widens its entry point into the case. The Jimmy or gen case tube should certainly be wide enough but I would have thought it would have let a gap where the spindle slides into the case.

This was my impression too that T's crown and Jimmys tube don't mate well. I'm not certainly an expert on this, only assumed that if T's crown will fit to gen ti tube then it would also fit with Jimmy's tube.

But it would nice to hear if someone has tried this...

the crown fit right onto the gen tube/case set with zero gaposis.

This is good to hear as I have Jimmy's case with his tube and been wondering if T's crown needs a rep tube to fit.

That't the most beautiful thing you ever done

Not totally sterile, but these might be what you looking for.

This is a BK's answer to movement question at RG

"Yes, these come with 2678-2. 2678-2 is indeed a smaller movement used in ladies' watches. It's in no way an inferior movement. It has the same beat rate and power reserve. The plus is there's no chance for it to be a fake ETA 'cause none exists for 2678-2. wm9 will ensure the overall weight of the watch is as close to gen's by use of a proper weighted movement ring, no less than other versions with 2836-2. I'm also hoping 2678-2 has better, more even datewheel because I have seen enough 2836-2's that don't have every date square in the date window."

That's a nice looking watch. These cali dials are great.

I have a RWC1938a which has a bit different case shape and a lovely high domed chrystal

I would love to get my hands on that base dial - just beautiful

Never seen a rad case with lugs like these, really nice. More pictures would be good

Has this seller returned anyones questions to him in ebay....I must have asked at least a dozen times about the handwind crowns but still he doesn't return my question.

Same here. Several questions and no answer

Very nice

here we go again :

another listing for a gen crown...this guy has original PAM hands too...so the heavy rep collectors, creators of nice frankens...here is your chance to bid again...he claims to have crowns for bith auto and manual wind PAMs

item nr. 200227151759

item nr. 200227152991

I was afraid this might happen

looks good and especially the colour is nice.

I was in the race too but never thought the price would get this high

Must be the publicity in forum

There seems to be different views about on which series jimmy's parts are based. When I got mine I asked this from jimmy and he told me they are F-series. I have no reason to doudt this, but it would be nice to hear if somenone has more detailed knowledge on this
