Many "cheap" chrono replica use Quartz movement. They can be quite good and inexpensive.

basically nothing can kill Quartz movement, beside water..

I don't see how a dremel could damage the movement while polishing. When you polished, the watch was (should have been) immobile. (holding it in your hand or something other) So the watch itself should have not over wound

I would get a quartz Seiko. They have some nice one. or an Omega Orange PE with orange strap.

If it's like me, everything that fall on my carpet simply disappear forever.. I guess someone in another dimension have a lot of my stuff by now personal question: you say "If you have the Swiss movement spares are available". If it would be Asian, it would be a problem ?

This is quite minor flaw, that only Omega junkies with a microscope will see. This 5th gen is nice looking.

in worst case, servicing a manual watch is relatively cheap. I would give it to The Zigmeister (well he is unavailable until September, but may be someone near you) to service the movement. I think it's a fairly small problem and most of the guy that will service your watch won't even charge you for this. And you will have a clean movement for some years

you may take a look at the 5th version some dealer posted here this week. It look very nice to me.

I'm happy for you. Hope everything will be fine with the last one. but all of those 24 I have seen have misaligned stone. Some are worst (like yours) than other.

I'm a PAM newbie too, but I can answer for the H. The H have a sandwich dial (look the markers of both to see the difference)

The good thing is no where he say it's genuine... someone will get ripped off for sure again..

Google image search: moonwatch Result: so yes, the second is at 9.

Look like the normal SMP to me..

I know it's "old" thread, but why not the 172 ? look great

I use hobby compound (Tamiya not to name it) It's a very fine grain compound. cost about 3$

Mine are -2 seconds a day after servicing

Take a look at Bob Strap http://www.waccex.de/catalog/index.php?lan...cc5df0902926faf Breitling style is nice.

I wouldn't play football with her

Omega Broken Arrow ? You mean Broad Arrow ?

Dealers are dealers... In watches, cars or anything, they always want to show their product at the best possible situation. You ask to revolution the world of product selling.. Just like all those magazine. If you want a date with the lady on the front page, basing your expectation on the picture, you might have a bad surprise when you get home with her.

You are invaluable Neil

why would you want to send money to someone that don't even reply to your email ? just wait for it, she must be in vacancy or something. Sending the money earlier won't make it faster, it will only get you even more impatient..
