dont want to know how many time and stems you invest for getting this result

cheers helmut

Aha...you got Omeris watch

He would be impressed on that work...great!

Theo

I hope Seniore Omeris do, and not being angry using a pic of him and his watch.

And of course Volker too because its in his famous Vintage Book.

as Clnt statet one of the best Books to learn something of Panerai history

hope to see soon the second part of Vintage Panerai

cheers Helmut

another grail watch here

have fun with it S.

Cheers helmut

For Info

The welded crowntube/case looks only gray on the pics

in real it has the same color as the case

different lightning exposure

and the springbars make the strapchanging so easy cool detail

cheers Helmut

Is it about this watch?: http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/3/10/1...rkm_b674bfd.jpg

I cannot really see it clearly, but there are fingerprints all over. Is that on the crystal case back or is that inside on the movement? A good watch smith would not have left (fatty & acid) fingerprints on the movement, so if it is on the movement, I wonder if it really has been serviced....

Good luck!

J.

This are the first fingerprints which are in the same line as cotes de Geneve...

The movement plates are not in the best condition but a lot of years old

the movement works for month since our first fabulous GTG in Erfurt

ok the Picture shows not every detail of the plate

but if you look close they (fingerprints) are all in paralel lines

@ Vla:

i see the grey hairs growing on Stephans head, but this happen often to these 8 Days movments

same problem on a watch that lays upside down for running (not angelus but 8 days)

and thanks The Zigmeister for info

cheers helmut

Yes like RMC say, only a single bar in steel.

You can add a tube, because you can see it on some of gen with this bar

Her another pic of gen:

This short bar (on both sides of the lugs) are used for easier strapchanging, cause the disassambling of the ones that Ross described quickly failed.

So they shorten the long ones, cut off on both sides and so theres enough length for fixing the strap (thicker straps do not work)

cheers Helmut

normally not my favourite model

but this one is is real cool!!!!!!!

cheers helmut

Cheers Helmut!!!

Hi S.

congrats to the step into vintage

wear it well and have fun with it

but be careful vintage is a very agressive virus...

cheers Helmut

Now you've got me searching! Is the welded lug 3646 with Rolex crown dial one of Stephan's as well? I'm amazed at the collection.

no ross

you have to search a little bit deeper because its smaler.. but it s a MM lol

Good eyes

rolex elinavar

very much gen parts and more gen wathches but not pictured...sorry

but an nice genvintage is shown in one pic...

cheers helmut

a nice side for finding a cheap lift

mitfahrgelegenheit.de

used it several times without any problems

cheers

ne k

If you read the post, it's clear that there are different types of 3646 all with different measurements. If I had a genuine 3646 sitting in front of me, I'd give you the measurements (which would probably be unique to that particular model) - but I doubt anyone does, so please don't suggest that we are in some way hiding information or being secretive.

Perfect Answer Ross

cheers Helmut

Ross

your comparison is amazing!!!

sorry to hear that blued hands are out of choice, they are so amazing... especially on aged radiomir

thanks T for this project

Helmut

Real Franken!!!

Don t wanna know how much you spend for building it....

Cheers Helmut

CheersHelmut

you are a lucky boy or?

Thanks for the detailed pics of the fiddy

think my 217 from DSN will be checked again

cheers helmut

nice job c

dont put a cali dial in it the case is too fat for it in highst

cheers helmut

As i have some background information from VDB Stephan

i wanna go inline with the statement of T

If you wanna have a perfect as new working movement in age of 70 years you have to look for every detail piece

to get this assambled you need more than two or three movements. (and of course many time and a goodwatchman)

one or two steps below and with luck you get one movement which needs only cleaning, but this one has 70 years of mechanical use behind too.

I always say to Stephan that he sell his watches too cheap. No one can imagine how much time and getting grey hairs is in his watches.

Sometimes the watch is pefecty assembled and then it stops again without knowing what happend...

His favor is to build watches, so sometimes the way is the target and this is one reason that his watches cost not 5000 or 10000 dollar.

But under the line they have to

(This is not a post to raise the prices, but for those who want to have a cheapo cheapo perfect Vintage Watch)

Cheers Helmut

although I like the look now I thought of this already. It's an easy fix because the color is on the lume and not on the resin. the next time i change something at the watch I might go over the dial again , maybe...

i am wearing the third dial version on my 3646 so make if you like too

there are some gen with tone in tone color too

wear it well

Helmut
