Depends on the country you're in. If you live in Germany you will get into trouble using such descriptions!

100% gen ETA.

It's an 7750 duplicato... now that sounds expensive

Thanks for clearing that up!

Ceramic version.

Instead of giving info, give the link!

Top notch. Make sure it runs +5~7 dial up. That will average in the best results during wear.

It's the balance hack. It goes on the lower (in the pic. upper) post. Make sure the tip sits in the sliding pinion.

Great job!

+1 That should do the trick.

Demagnetize the hair spring (balance)

The URL imprint on the back of their straps kills it for me.

Same here. No pics on forum view on iPhone.

Probably only a lookalike.

Wow, very cool link. Never saw those video's. Thanks for sharing.

322 Pounds for a battery change?

he tries to unscrew the fine regulator screw...

Wow! Great write up. Never seen any of these modded 6497s but it's good to know what to look for. Thanks.

If I'm not mistaking the seamaster with the correct HE placement carries an Asian 2892. Yeah, 99% sure about that . It came out in '04/'05 There was a second version. Which off course is also discontinued by now with incorrect HE and eta movement. I owned this version at one point in time. .

Thanks P. In the end I decided not to mod the center pinion. I tried some methods on an old hand and it is almost impossible to get a sharp round silver paint edge. The only decent way is to remove the hand from the tube or try to scratch away the paint with a needle. But than you run the risk of flaking paint of the hand itself.... Thanks mate! Personally I don't think the time and energy that goes into that mod contributes to anything. Who but us know these things I never seen the Kuvarsit movement in real life but from pictures I would say the CDG and plating on the Kurvasit is still the best available. Only con is the printed movement markings instead of engraving.

Amazing!!! You deserve the name meister. Unbelievable skills man! Thanks for the write up. Mark

Yes

Nice write up! Thanks R. I recently tore down the new 111 Noob movement and that one is also different. But good different. It probably comes closest to Swiss standards from all the 64xx series I've seen so far.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I used some cape cod for the bridges and green tripoli and a dremel for all the bevels. Same thing for the ss screws. Did a ultra sonic clean afterwards. Ps: wat color does the tip of the second hand post need to be? -black -silver -gold Thanks!!

If you've never done it before it is not recommended. Unwinding is dangerous because the spring carries a lot of toque. Rewinding it is also trickie because of the winding direction that has to be taken into account, breaking of the spring and contaminating the barrel with dirth. Just try with an old watch. I can send you a photo tutorial. Shoot me pm.
