  3. No worries man I just wanted to bring that to light to avoid you getting into any hot water around here. its a rare movement and I dont blame you for holding onto it and I would be tempted myself to let it go if the price is right. look fwd to seeing your build!
  4. Its yours and you can ask whatever you want but your last few posts do indicate profiteering which is generally frowned upon on these forums. just sayin , I am sure you could get what you are asking on ebay no problem .
  5. 15% more than you paid as a finders fee. [emoji6] I do t think the stem height will work with my JMB caseset otherwise I would have one hella cool Franken 6350. [emoji1362] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  14. Thank you! Yes I am very pleased with the results...It is a shame about the keyless. I watched this video where he fixes the keyless on an eta movement from the back....he doesn't even pull it out of the case. Undo 3-4 screws and a third hand and I think I should have it back in action. Clearly he makes it look easy! As long as I dont lose any of the bits I should be able to manage to get the yoke back onto the sliding pinion and bob's your uncle!
  15. Okay. So when I got home I set the time , wound it and dropped it into the case. Ans it looks pretty damn good. Not the best pics but I’m happy. [emoji16][emoji16] This thing was hella work. And fidgeting and tweeking but she’s dialled in now and once I get the keyless fixed I can button it up and stop obsessing over it cause this is as close as I possibly can get with what I got. I call that success. [emoji482] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. UPDATE : Tudor case arrived and it’s pretty nice. It’s got a few good scrapes in it but definitely usable. I also ordered a few 25-124 crystals from Clark’s. I thought this would be plug and play but sadly the dial opening is just ever so slightly too big for the Milgauss dial. I was not expecting this. The case back is also much larger than any of my Rolex covers so that’s not a swap over either. The Tudor case is ever so slightly smaller than the silix case I’m using and since there isn’t much of a difference I don’t think I’m going to end up using it because it will be just too much work to make it work it would be one thing if I was starting from scratch but since I have a case that the dial and movement fit. I decided to make this one work. So I meditated on this and came up with a solution. The Tudor crystals are just too small to fit on my silix case so what I did was sand down the outside edge of the case lip where the crystal should fit. It would have been an easy job if I had a lathe but I did it by hand. Not perfect but the crystal does press on and is a good snug fit and also is the correct height now the JMB bezel that I’ve been using also firs a lot better now with this set up I’ve finally nailed the promotions of the crystal bezel and case. I shaved down the cyclops off the jumbo crystals. Not perfect but at 6 bucks each I bought a few to get it dialled in I finally have a crystal with a beveled edge. This was the thorn in my side on this piece and now I am finally satisfied. This is a big win for me. Unfortunately in removing the movement I managed to bugger up the keyless. F#CK!! And I also buggered up my screwdriver tip so I am waiting for a new set of screw drivers to arrive before I could consider fixing the keyless. Watching a few vids on resetting the keyless seems pretty easy to do so I think I may attempt it before shipping it off to get it fixed. Here is few pics of the case with Jumbo crystal installed. Also a side by side with the jumbo case. Silix case with JMB bezel ans tudor crystal fit 1019 case set with crystal fit next to Tudor jumbo case set. Comparison Even tho it is one step fwd and two steps back. I am very very satisfied with the case and crystal set up now and once the movement is fixed and assembled. I will consider this project complete and a success. Stay tuned for the final product Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Hi! It was time for a change so I swapped your dial in! It fit well and looks great. It gives the watch a whole new look and feel. ! It is super glossy!! I am happy that my hand set are a close match to your dial. Thanks again my friend [emoji1317][emoji1316] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  19. I have recently been bit by the BB 58 bug and am looking to find a rep These are soo much nicer than a sub or dssd I have a BB heritage rose in transit to try but I think the size will be a bit too large for me ...cant wait to try it. I like how the bezel insert has gilt details on the BB58 and of course the size is perfect.....so looking fwd to getting one!
