Sounds good. I've been thinking of using the espresso as other have suggested. You used all 3 on yours? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

What do you recommend to color it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

How easily did helenarou's original lume come off? I've got one of her Tiffany explorer dials that the lume is just too green in plain daylight and will need a treatment like yours Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Welcome to Texas! I'm in Houston as well. I really haven't tried any new banks here since I've moved here recently too but still am using Chase and Wells Fargo and they are both present here

I was wondering what happened to tonnywatches as his eBay store is completely empty now too.

Got this message when I Google rwi

Hey all just checking in with an update. Got it back up and running smoothly. End conclusion what that the movement was loose in the case (movement ring was not a great fit) and therefore making changing the crown positions challenging/problematic. The running backwards I think was caused when the crown wouldn't be able to be put back into normal position and was jammed somewhere between time set and calendar set position and this being a non-hacking movement caused the reverse run. Anyways took it apart and found the calendar wheel and day wheels were rubbing also on the back of the dial so I chose to leave them out during the reassembly, figured flaking paint and the friction was not a nice thing to have going on inside :). Also installed a hacking lever after talking with Philosopher. Anyways here are a couple photos as we all love pics!

I don't know if this counts as vintage but seller:elisabeth9679 on eBay sells all the different Tritec Luminova powders, lacquer, and thinner. C3 maybe yellow enough for your "vintage style"

Beautiful! What movement did it have initially ?

I'll update you guys with what I find.

I think that's why I like this one it's super busy!

I've got a big soft spot for this line of Citizens. Just purchased the Navihawk AT to round out my watch box should be here Monday!

I tried out chrome and it worked on that for my laptop.

I have the issue on the classifieds section. Only had the attach files part and cannot enter text into the message body. Mine is from tapatalk when it launches the browser in tapatalk itself in the classifieds. Not sure if that helps. Also just tried from my laptop and the same issue is affecting it but across the whole board and even PM's.

I would put the epoxy on the rear of it so that none gets on the face of the bezel.

Pop off the bezel assembly (ring and insert) the epoxy the pearl back in.

What did you use to sand off the Cyclops. I assume the Cyclops was plexi but is the actual crystal plexi as well or is is sapphire. Also I used helenarou for a custom Explorer dial and she did have a couple options on diameters. I would hit her up to see if she can get you one in the size you are looking for. Hers are ETA feet also.

Ok I went through your list with the following findings 1) I swapped out the mainspring barrel and arbor with a gen one in good condition and still had the same issues. 2) the train of gears were not perfect free spinning so I disassembled and cleaned everything again making sure to peg every jewel. After reassembly all the gear train spins freely and even get the slight reverse spin of the escape wheel at the end of the mainspring power. 3) checked the pallet locking and unlocking under powder. The pallet flicks nicely and holds tight against the opposite pin when nudged modestly. When only slightly nudged it will be drawn back up against the pin as well. Now the issue is with the balance. I removed the power and the pallet. With just the balance installed the balance will rotate freely in all positions except for dial down (balance up) in this position I only get 1 to 3 oscillations before it stops. This is also seen when I reinstalled the pallets the movement will run nicely when it is vertical or with the dial side up (balance down) but will stall and stop when I place it dial side down/balance up. What does this indicate? Obviously something is rubbing or not freely spinning when the balance is facing up that is resolved in all other positions. Issues with the balance pivot jewels? Maybe need to be pressed in further? Roller jewel assembly not seated properly? Let me know. Thanks!

Try KB in the Watches clothing, parts and accessories section. I recently got a LV purse from him for the wife that is pretty nice

Thank you Ceejay! I will give this all a try and report back.

Sadly it didn't help. I'm thinking it is not related to the hairspring now and more to the roller jewel and pallet interaction or some rubbing somewhere that is causing the loss of power.

Thank you Sir! I figured the it was as it looked too perfect and purposeful but I wasn't able to find any other photos of a yuki hairspring alone so I wanted to check.

Ok here's a couple photos. It looks to me like the unlocking jewel assemblys (forget the actual name) were swapped. Also the hairspring on the yuki has a kink about 1/3 around from the stud is this normal?
