My Raimalster XXL with a PAM strap. Waiting for next Chieftang AR run. Francisco.

Hi: Thanks for your comments. I returned the watch to Angela...so this is not Angela's watch. I bought two used watches in a Spanish forum of reps. The first one, with the correct case (he did not know what he was selling) but with awful short hands. The second one with correct hand length. Both with A21 movement, no problem forr me. Both dials were unacceptable for me, so I decided to buy the gen dial. As the movement is not an ETA, I had to fit the dial, and it is not an easy task. Both crystals was mineral. I coated the best one, without distorison/loupe effect. The final result on a mineral crystal is different. I coated 4 cystals with Chieftang, only this one is mineral. The color of the reflection in the mineral is pink....in the saphire is blue...and the qulaity of the final AR is not so good, but still very good. However, this is not so important in this watch, as the gen has single AR, we do not need the best AR. Francisco.

Alter many hours of studying, thinking,.. and after many months of waiting

I am quite sure that a general ETA dw can be used for the rep HB. Francisco.

The problem is not with the chrono. The problem is with the running seconds...of the watch itself, no chrono. Francisco.

Yes, you did a very good summary. Congratulations! However, I am not so optimist as The Zigmeister. Francisco.

As I said in the post..it is much better...only time will say...

Thanks for your comments. Some points to discuss: 1.- If a gear like the silver one, E, has to be employed, and no jeweling is possible...why not to use it for the minutes transfer? 2.- The idea of the double gear, B, seems very smart. The minutes transfer again is much better done than the seconds transfer....so strange! 3.- There is a post here, RWG, where some buyers are complaining about problems in this mechanism. And they have the same symptoms like Portuguese and Daytona...stopping after 10 minutes of running, for example. The post is here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=77611 Francisco.

As you know a new version of AP with running seconds at 12 is available. The question is

Yes, same procedure or you can use a bezel remover, but they are expensive.

Hi: If you have the version which uses screws to fasten the bezel+crytal, yes, the holes pass troguh the case, to let the screws to fasten the bezel. I have no more pictures, sorry Francisco.

Just to remind you that if you buy the 28800 version it is easy to add a regulator, as shown here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=74855 Francisco.

I think I read a post in repgeek about replacing the balance wheel. It does not work, I think. Francisco.

Probably tomorrow I will post a tutorial of how to add a regulator to the Asian 7750 28800. It is very cheap, pieces easy to get, and not difficult to do it. I am writing just now the tuto. This picture shows the final result: Of course it is not functional. And this is not the mechanism of a HBB, but will work, of course, in the same way in a HBB. Francisco.

Hi: Does anybody know the colour of the super-luminova employed in the GENUINE Omega Seamaster Professsional Black, model 2254.50? Thanks

Check for example, PerfectClones. The pictures show crearly shorter hands. However, do not warry, pictures magnify this flaw. I am asking Silix if his model is still avalaible and no answer for two weeks.

I think that there is a difference between Angus and Silix versions. Small choono hands on Angus version are smaller than in the genuine/sillix.

Any news?

Markers a bit wider than the original. Lume is very, very poor and of green colour, not maching lumen color of the hands. On the other hand, it seems that when you relume this dial, the new lume reacts with the previous lumen and the final job is horrible. Not easy to relume this dial. Francisco.

Bezel insert is quite wrong. I am waiting for a new one. Yesterday I bought a genuine dial. The hands are OK. I think that just reluming the hands (however, the lumen of the hands is spectacular) and exchanging the insert...it will be a good replica. Francisco.

I bought two second hand watches. Yesterday I joined both models. This is the deal. But the modding is not finished yet: bezel, crystal, dial..... Francisco.

The Helium vale is in a wrong position. Lume of hands and dial is of different colour. I have bought two wacthes of this model to build a better one . I will do it soon. Watch A has the Helium valve in the right position and the brazelet is the correct one. Watch B has better dial and hands (your hands are good). I think my Watch B is practically your watch. I bought a better bezel insert from ebay. It seems this is the only way of having a good rep of this model. Later I will relume the dial and AR treatment of the glass.
