  1. Second Hand Getting Stuck - Omega PO

    in Watch Repair & Upgrade

    Posted

    If the hands aren't touching anything it's probably caused by dirt or a lack of oil. My guess is that the balance caps are dirty or dry and are causing too much drag... If you don't know your way around movements bring it to your closest watchmaker or throw it away. Repairing a cheap 21j movement is a pain in the @ss and will probably cost more than the entire watch.

  10. 2892 movement Bell & Ross 03-92

    in Other Brands Area

    Guys,

    I'm planning on buying a Bell & Ross from Trevor. He quotes that it runs on a 2892 movement so it made me curious on how the movement looks. Is it indeed the ETA 2892 clone (Sea-gull st18). So I started searching... and seraching...3 boards, a dozen dealer websites even Google Images and there is not a movement picture to be found. Why? Is it that hard to take the case apart?

    Is there anybody that can provide me a movement pic or guide me to a website that provides it?

    Much appreciated!

    Great thread! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    My avatar just reflects my condition - a serious watch nut who sometimes might be better off in a straight jacket..? Or at least that what the wife thinks from time to time.. And I think that Jeffrey Goines with milgy eyes is perfect to illustrate this.. :)

    Very cool! You really gave it some thought!

    is it normal that i don't see my avatar on my own post? Don't know....if thats the case...my post doesn't make any sens....sorry....but it's Superman....with Loïs....with a beard....well, whatever...

    great thread alright!

    I put mine on because it made me laugh and we can do with a bit more laughter in the world. After reading this thread though, I'm going to find something I can identify with a little more.

    thank you all for sharing. its great to hear how meaningful some of your av's are!!

    I notice more and more members are changing their avatars on a regular base. In my honest opinion that is a real pity as a avatar is like a brand’s logo. It forms your (forum) identity for a great deal. Your avatar is the first thing members notice. A strong and differentiating avatar, along with regular contribution to the forum, improves your image.

    My Hypotheses is therefore: You pick 1 avatar and never change it as long as you're active on a board!

    My story: When I look at myself I use the same avatar ever since RWG1. The funny thing is a lot of people think I'm a dog lover or have boxers myself. My avatar was established by a Google image search some years back on the words 'funny dog'. I wanted a pic that made people smile. It had to be something completely ridiculous. I ended up picking the first pic that turned up because I was too focused on getting active on the board and finding some nice watches. I never liked the pic but as soon as I got really active on RWGI and was picking on the 'veteran status' changing it wasn't an option anymore for me.

    Therefore I'm Rolexman... a guy that loves Breiltings and Pams and hates boxer dogs :lol:
