While I was doing a full sevice I decided to do a little modding to it. Although platinum plated I found the appearance of the bridges rather dull (see first pic). -polished all the bridges -polished all the beveles including the ones on the winding gears -polished the winding gear screws -unscrewed the swan-neck screw (adjusted beat afterwards off course) Just love it and I do think this is now one of THE most accurate reps around! Can't wait to put this baby back together. Really hard to capture the great lusture and shine on the pictures. In real life this one is almost indistinguishable from the real deal.

I always wonder how they manage not to scratch those hands with that iron tweezer...

Serviced My First Movement - Omega 565
Rolexman replied to dbutlerman's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
Well done! What a coincidence I just finished a renovation of an Omega with the same movement my self. Great movement to work on -
'Classified' gone for me too...

Still not t Still not the right case back. The genuine does not have any engravements except for the serial#.

I think this model didn't even exist 2 years back.

What's Waiting For My New 111? The Best Deployment-Strap Combo Ever!
Rolexman replied to Rolexman's topic in The Panerai Area
Yes, polished it. I also reworked all the sharp edges and carefully rebrushed all the different parts. Oiled the hinges and release mechanism and ..... Aded a TWB strap -

Rolexman replied to Rolexman's topic in The Panerai Area
I know exactly what you mean. I'm still not sure whether to put it on the incoming 111 or my 312. Maybe it suits my 312 better.... The question is how much for your 196 -

Rolexman replied to Rolexman's topic in The Panerai Area
Only a fully reworked replica -
Thanks Mike, good to know you can get all sorts of 'goodies'. Maybe I'll take you up on your offer. I'm a little worried about the case back (look). But we'll see how it actually looks when it arrives

New Case Base Back On 3717 Or...just The Lighting?
Rolexman replied to Rolexman's topic in The IWC Area
Thanks for the info chief. Unfortunately I rejected the top one due to some dial anomalies. The bottom one is the "new" one Andrew sourced. I was hoping it is just the lighting and they would look the same in real life... Well, it's on it's way so I will let you guys know how it is when it arrives. -
I believe the case back engagements are completely wrong for this model. At least the gens I compared it to a while back....

Exactly what I was thinking... probably a $50 POS mistaken for a 7750
