Rolexman

God-damn-it you can't just say that without showing the pics or at least giving us a hyperlink! PS:I think the clasp should not include the 'professional' engraving ....

Just loaned the credit card from my dad and ordered one!! I couldn't resist. I will do a full review Rolexman style as soon as it arrives ( will be a couple of days) so hold on to your hats

And a longer second hand!!!! But No anti-magnetic cover?

Looks good to me. Too bad about the copper movement retainer ring. From what I can see double AR so that's good. I think it will carry a genuine ETA so my guess it will cost around $280.- Has a good case back with the correct engravings (+ anti-counterfeit symbol) and serial# on the lug. Damn those holidays. If I only had the funds...

DON't QUOTE PICS! For god's sake! Nice watch by the way

I want to do something back for this great place therefore I'm offering Free movement decals! I made these almost perfect decals some time ago and forgot all about them. So I decided to give them away. As you're likely to mess one up they will be shipped per 2. Therefore I have 17 x 2 decals ready for shipment. What's the catch? *You have to donate $10 (USD) to the RWG December server rent (click) *The first 17 people that send (PM) me a print screen of the completed transaction by PayPal will get a pair. *I will not give states updates on how much decals are left. You will know if you send me your print screen. *If you send me your print screen and all the decals are gone you're tough out of luck..... but you did a good deed for RWG *Decals will be shipped worldwide on my own cost so it will be by regular air mail. *If decals get lost during shipment.... you guessed it, you're though out of luck Good luck! Some pics. -Please know that the true colour is somewhat different from you're screen colour (read: more true to the real deal). -They look kind a bold but know that these are extreme close ups. Once applied on the movement they look bang on!

Off topic but in relation to my recent 'Avatar thread' judging from your avatar I never thought you would be a bad ass

I'm in the middle of my first transaction with Trevor and it has gone bad! I won't post details as I'm working it out but I will never buy from Trevor again!

Congrates mates!

They should replicate the first patented shock system for 7750s in the world. A Dutch invention. I heard all the major brands were at his doorstep willing to pay muchos $$$ for the patent but he refused to give it up. Instead he made his own watch. Look here for the video!

No brother. I said the SF is a Poorman's watch... I love to stir things up

Indeed. The SF is a Boxter and the B01 a 911 We're such snobs ROFL

That's really a sad story as the SF is a poorman's watch. It's like a Porsche Boxter.... For 5K he should have bought a Manufacure.

I think the dealers deserve a compliment for bringing us these fine reps! (instead of immediately b*tching about every detail) Thanks guys! Will order one as soon as I have some funds...

Glad you figured it out! Use the new escape wheel to push the broken part out or remove the bridge and give it a light tap.

Make sure to also check the top pivot (pin) of the escape wheel. This is the part that usually breaks as it is longer ergo more fragile. If this part broke this could also lead to the escape wheel moving around. The play means one of the pivots isn't located in one of the jewels properly.. You could try fastening the screws of the bridge without the gears in place (so no pivots can break) and look how the bridge reacts. Does it move lower? Than one of the pivots wasn't located okay and thus preventing the bridge from lowering to it's correct height. It could very well be one of the other gears isn't seated correctly. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

It could very well be the pin already broke off. It also happens to me from time to time and I serviced dozens. It is really fragile and thinner than a hair.... inspect it with a 10x loupe. If not, you just need some more patience and handiniss. It is a lot easier to work on the gears with the balance removed. It's the first thing I remove when I start working on a movement. But it takes a lot of skills to handle a balance. If you've never done it before you run the risk of damaging the hair spring and then you can really say $#*@& Don't want to be an ass but watchmaking isn't a profession for nothing, it takes a lot of skills and knowledge. I know this forum often makes us think we can do everything ourselves ... we can't

This will be the 54th project this year that will never happen... Please forgive me my negativity

Good luck!

Than I would tell you the same I told the AD, and it wasn't pretty

I had an AD once charge me €20 for a Breitling springbar.....go figure.

Bummer...

Just shave the base of the crownguard with a dremel. That way the lever will come closer to the crown. It is a risk however if you've never done it before...

Santa's off to the North Pole eh

The first MBW Breitling EVER. 7750 movement... I bet a few people know this one. My guess this one is worth as much as it's original counter part. It's that unique!
