  1. Take a look at his Navitimer (date wheel is very questionable) and Tag Carrera (chrono register at 6 touches 6 o'clock marker). Looks very fake to me. Box sets are not convincing
  2. I will be very much interested in getting the correct length 063 GMT hand for the 2893-2 with the correct head size. I have the GMT hand for 2893-2 from Davidsen, but although the length is OK, its head is just way too big.
  3. Yes, got an e-mail from Jay a couple of days ago with the notification about the order sent.

    ETA 7750

    I performed this change for Tag Link Chrono with no problem at all, so you should be OK.
  5. Offshore, please put me on the list for the Omega parts breakdown and Time Zone 1+2 courses I bought the 7750 breakdown CD from the same eBay seller a couple of weeks ago, and can testify that it is quite impressive.
  6. I got my two crystals a couple of days ago, overall those are my 4th and 5th from Chieftang, and I must say that the quality even slightly improved with time. I had my Ingy crrystal done in the run 1, and now Ingy Chrono in the run 5, and the crystal "disappearance" effect is even more profound now. Besides, the lip size apparently got smaller. Thanks, Chief!
  7. My kudos, gentlemen! The depth/level of detail in the info provided is just unbelievable. Thanks a lot!
  8. Here is the story. I decided to change the cyclop on my PAM 089 (which came from River) to the more suitable chieftang's one I bought a few months ago. When I detached the crystal, I found, to my surprise, that the cyclop is not simply glued to the surface of the crystal, but rather embedded into it. In other words, the crystal has a cylindrical cavity in it, and the cyclop is attached within the cavity, so its top is almost flush with the back surface of the crystal. By the way, it may be of interest for some members, the diameter of the cavity (and the cyclop) is 6.1 mm. Anyway, it looks like this is an attempt on the manufacturer side to make the crystal (and cyclop magnification) even closer to the original, but apparently the size is a little bit too small for this model. It came as a complete surprise to me, so I decided to share this observation with the forum members Now I probably need a new 44 mm sapphire crystal, in order to make the intended modification, so if somebody has one spare, please PM me.
  9. I think the third existing 2836-2 GMT modification should be mentioned. In my PAM 063 (bought it from a member, who in turn bought it from Davidsen) the 24 hr GMT hand can be adjusted exactly the way the 2893-2 works, namely not continuously, but in discrete 1hr (or 0.5 hr if measured by 12hr scale) increments. So far the movement works quite reliably.
  10. Please count me in for one (EVO) Thanks!
  11. Lello, please put me down me on one (white numbers on black background). Thanks!
  12. Take a look at the length of the minute hand on this one (from orolus.com). And this seems to be real. http://www.orolus.com/cgi-bin/ShoppingCart...mp;search_logo=
  13. I installed the datewheel yesterday, and found no problem with the extra 0.05 mm. Date changes same way as it did before. The position of the date in the date window is just perfect. I also upgraded my Inge with double AR coating (thanks to chieftang), and the final result is absolutely superb Thanks again, lello!
  14. Received mine today. Looks beautiful! Thanks, lello
  15. Brian, could you put me for 1 crystal in the run 2? If so, please count me in.
  16. Chieftang, I received my two crystals, both double side coated, today. They both look great! Thank you very much for your effort
  17. Same here. Have a new message, but can't read it. Admin - please, help!
  18. Thank you, The Zigmeister. Apparently, this is beyond my current level of watch fixing skills, so would you mind if I PM you with the request for help?
  19. A couple of days ago I found that date stopped changing in my Tag Link Chrono. It happened before, so I knew that most likely the little wire spring, which helps the date wheel to be positioned correctly, had slipped, so I removed all the hands, and the dial, and fixed that little problem. When I started assembling the watch back, I discovered that the tiny shaft for the minute chrono subdial (12) is absent. I found it later sticking out of the hand. I tried to be very cautious when removing the hands, but apparently manage to break it. So my queston is, whether this is reasonably easy fixable/replaceable part, or all I can do is to get a new asian 7750 movement? Any suggestion and advice is greatly appreciated, because this blue Tag is one of my favorites, and you know how it feels, when your favorite toy is broken.
  20. Hi Lello, I can send my date wheel out, so please count me in. -ar
  21. Please, count me in for one. Thank you, you made my day!
  22. My congratulations to the winners! But I've got a little suggestion to the admin. Well, you see I got this three e-mails on 10/13: 1. 4:46 PM Eastern time Congratulations ar0401, You have won a prize from the last edition of RWG online lottery. Ticket #5004. You have won Breguet Tourbillion 2. 4:47 PM Eastern time Congratulations ar0401, You have won a prize from the last edition of RWG online lottery. Ticket #5043. You have won 5 tickets to the nest RWG Lottery 3. 4:57 PM Eastern time Due to me applying some wrong setting in the RWG lottery, the script drew the winners long before all the tickets have been sold. Because of this we still have no winners. I apologize for this and wish you the best of luck in the REAL drawing that will take place when all tickets have been sold. Admin RWG Admin For the entire 20 min period I was believing that I had won (twice!) in the lottery for the first time in my life! I do undersatnd that it was a small error in the script, but in case of an unlikely event of repeating this situation, I would suggest to sweeten the disappointment pill for mislead parties by offering some small consolation price (say 1 or 2 free tickets in the future lottery issue) Just my 2 cents
  23. Looks so tempting... I am in for 5.
