Hey folks, I m struggling to release the stem from my JLC 889/2 Is this the stem release screw in the star on the pic: Hope not as the stem wont budge when I unscrew it ? Any help would be great, thank you.

No, they can be very arsey too.

I got lucky on the bay with my 14790 dial, it came with hands and a date wheel. So happy when they fitted the JLC 889/2 I got cheap Needs a bit of fixing as there is no seconds hand post But hey its moving forwards.

New dial in, I m putting it in for service sunday and having the case refinished. The battle scars dont suit such a slender beast The silver dial is aftermarket, I m guessing after having the two together the date window was tiny and the finish too new. Only one pic for now : Like to thank Justasgood for his help, thanks K.

Going with a two watch choice as I need to build up the reserve on the datejust New dial, same ratty silver minute hand New from Jackson I like a contrast

Still no word from them, the auction was for "Original Rolex Hands Complete Set (Pre-owned)" I take this to mean genuine rolex. I sent them questions before I bought them, each time making sure they were for the 1570 mvt and that I did nt want aftermarket.

Guys, Have you bought anything from a-and-e-watches, I bought some cal.1570 pre owned hands from them and I think I ve been had. Reason I say this is they match the after market hands I got from clarks, and are nothing like the genuine hands I have in silver ? Anyone have any feedback from a purchase from them, I got the hands in 4 days which I was really happy with. I have asked them to confirm they are original rolex as the ad stated, I ll see what they come back with. Hope you can help.

I buy for the disappointment

New dial:

Still a little work on the gap filing to do but its better with a black dial

Please excuse the smudge Home made, and in fitting with my story I ve broken the keyless for the millionth time. Its staying like that, luckily its at the right time so it can wait.

Thats what I mean by luck if your budget is high, they dont really go for cheap very often. Good luck tho

These projects can take a lot of time to source parts, sometimes you get lucky and if you budget is high enough very lucky. My RO 36mm project is a year in, and I m happy to wait I only need a Gen 2225 mov't( only ). Good luck, seen lots of dials on the bay, not so many hands.

They would still F it up if you rang them straight away, Royal mail is just as bad. How crap is it that they shipped it back to china, fools!

Thats great, looking forward to meeting everyone

Cheers !

Would it be possible to bore out the rehaut so its just flat sided ? All the heavy machines some of the guys use must be able to do something like that.

Thanks for the comments guys, I dont think I could pull off freddy's dial as lovely as it is

Polywatched the crystal and put aftermarket hands on, well tried to minute hand would not fit-lesson learned on that one. Waiting for two tone dial and gen gold hands to arrive, then its finally time to get a service. The watch runs well enough just want it to be perfect. New pics:

Super limited edition silver minute hand model, only released in Liverpool and Nepal

Its all Gen, or at least it will be when the final bits arrive. I quite fancy a champange date wheel now thats been mentioned, I ll see what the silver dial looks like with the silver date wheel thats in the movement. Thanks for the help chaps.

Hi folks I m nearing completion on my 1601 build and I m trying to make the watch my own. Has anyone got a roulette date disc for the 1570, wholesaleoutlet990 has them but I think I'd rather drink cat pis$ than order from them from all the stories. Any other sources ? had a quick poke around cousins/ofrei but didnt find any. I ordered hands from clarks thinking they may fill in till I could find gens, but only the second and hour hands would fit. My watch is a true two tone : two gold hands and one silver hand I just wanted to wear it Hope someone can help, thanks for reading.
