definitely a learning curve, it's like you have to mess up to learn, gluing was a pain at first but now I have steps that work really well for me, I dreaded gluing the date wheel overlay and my biggest thing was losing parts :-( but I'm getting better :-) because I tackled a 2671 small ladies movement really small parts which was good practice now the bigger movements 28XX are much easier to work with.

yup I said the same thing, now into build 3 :-) it cost alittle more to build but its your build!! as for the fumes on my last build I soldered some copper wire with the rite diameter to the dial spacer which was a pain!!then glued the spacer to the dial, the spacer had some raised [censored] so I put a drop on each & the last time I opened up that case to set the beat I didn't get a BUZZ LOL, by the way Kello is a pretty good app for that using a iphone & iphone headset with mic

ok thanks for that info much appreciated!!

Yes that is the only markings that I can see :-( I have looked and looked and cant find anything that looks like it

I've used the hypo on 3 builds so far with success but dreading if ever having to go back and do those builds over on my next build I going the dial feet and Loctite super glue, being impact resistant, I'm getting pretty good at this micro gluing thing lol oiler and a dab should hold the feet on nicely putting the feet in the movement first then gluing and aligning with a 15 to 30 sec window should work just fine :-) Nice Watch!!

So nobody has a clue what cal if any this movement is ? it has BE markings under the balancing wheel

yes it does

hey all a friend of minds pulled this out of his junk box ,he said it had been sitting in there 15 plus years it seems to have been a Omega Seamaster Rep but there are no markings on the movement, can some one tell me what movement this is please Thanks

in setting mode while doing a date gear repair setting the hands got harder to turn to the point it binded up, so i took the movement apart down to the train wheels and removed the balancing wheel watching a video how to service an automatic watch,i got everything back together but now it will not run, the balancing wheel will rock back and forth a couple of times if i hit it but that's it,every thing seems to work correctly accept it wont run,what can i check? Thanks
