    I hope you are not looking for a rep. that will dive with you for 100m, 200m.

    Even the gen. Sub can only go down to 300m.

    Few of the dealers have replicas rated 100m but not the DSSD so far.

    And NO Im not going down to 100m...

    * Water-resistant to 30 meters, Will withstand splashes of water or rain but should not be worn while swimming or diving.

    * Water-tested to 50 meters, Suitable for showering or swimming in shallow water.

    * Water-tested to 100 meters, Suitable for swimming and light snorkeling.

    * Water-tested to 150 meters, Suitable for snorkeling.

    * Water-tested to 200 meters, Suitable for skin diving.

    Thanks again for all input, One thing I dont't like is the poor water resistant (50m i was told)

    Who need a working HE valve at that depth ^_^

    Still having problem to decide...

    Don't get me wrong,I know that this isnt an issue for most people,

    but Im doing a little diving, mostly freediving and 100m would be anough and 200m would be great.

    Wow that sure is a lovely watch... Great work indeed :thumbsupsmileyanim: Looking forward to more pics when job is finished.

    It could be the angle but It looks that the CG at right is little bit thicker...

  19. Gasket question for 1665...

    in Watch Repair & Upgrade

    Posted

    Rob, allow me to correct. The 1665 has a acrlic crystal seated on a case lip and secured by a compression ring. Under this ring there is a grove in the case for an o-ring. I never seen a rep come with this from the factory, you just need to add one. :)

    Thanks for the reply guys!

    Rep.. did I understand you right, They come without gasket but the case is built to take one! There is a "canal" where a gasket can be placed

    and the base of the compression ring will cover it. Am I right?

    Got one for sale? ;)

    Have a nice weekend

  23. How to shape CG tutorial?

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Yeh, I hate it when the Search feature treats you like an idiot!

    Shaping cg's is really pretty easy. You need some basic tools, case back opener, 1.2mm screwdriver, a rat tail file, and a small flat file ot two, wet/dry sandpaper, 320/400/600/1000 and some type of polishing compound.

    First, open the case, remove the crown and stem by depressing the button next to the stem w/ the 1.2mm screwdriver (nothing smaller or you risk screwing up tje keyless works), remove the movt holddown tabs and screws and remove the movt and dial from the case.

    Next, you have to decide if you're going to remove the case tube, or mask around it. If you're going to remove it, jamb that rat tail file in there and turn counterclockwise to unscrew it. Next, either pop off the bezel or if it's a noob, where the bezel almost can't be removed, mask over it.

    Take your small files and file the inside bottom edges of the cg's to make them straighter and more perpendicular. It's a good idea to have some pics of gens to look at as you do this. Go slowly and from time to time put the crown back in place to see where you stand. Once you're about where you need to be, start using the wet dry and progress from 320 to 1000. After that use your polishing compound and get it back to shiny.

    When you're reinstalling the case tube, use some lock-tite as you're threading it back in there. Clean up the case and reinstall the movement. Greasing the o-rings w/ silicone as you go along will help with making your watch more WR.

    Check the watch repair section for more tips, but some of this stuff hasn't been covered in a while.

    MANY thanks Alligoat just the input I needed.

    Could it be illustrated like this?

    If the red coulor showing the new lines and the yellow material that should be removed :blush:

    Well I did it, some of it at least. I did some distressing last night using a cookie tin full of screws and bolts. It was so loud that my wife said that it was distressing her. :blink:

    For the back I removed the paint using a toothbrush and acetone. I tried using CLOROX on the bezel, but it doesn't have enough bleach to do anything, so I'll have to get bleach tonight.

    Here's the results.
