here's a quickie!

I'm looking for a Eta 7753 :-)

I know the 7753 does not have the flyback functionality but it would be the most $$$ efficient replacement for a chrono with running seconds at 9 and minute counter at 3 :-)

After cancelling my first order with Josh for the new version of the 212 over the incorrect mention of a sapphire crystal... ...I finally ordered one from him at the adjusted price of $239 Just received it today and I gotta say it is really nice! I had bought the ultimate version last year and was disappointed with the lettering of the dial the noisy rotor and the D shaped CG... Well it seems this one fits the bill. Nice CG shape, crisp white lettering on the dial, good Ar...a good base for an upgrade! I will post pics later when I get my camera! ;-) I really don't care for the slow beat movement at this time as it will be replaced with a 7753 at some time. ...and I'm on the list for a sapphire crystal!

Thanks, I'll look into it! But your right, a Jean Richard flyback movt would be killer! :-) jr

bump! :-)

LOL

Looking to have one fitted in my 212. Anyone has done it before? Thanks!

very nice! where did the crystal came from? :-)

Andrew has changed his description of the new 212v2 for a synthetic sapphire... Josh still hasn't. It seems that I will have to send the watch back when it gets here because I didn't get what I was supposed to...

So if v2 doesn't have sapphire, then they are getting an extra $80 for the low end 212... because I can't see anything more to justify the price...

from what I figure, this is a new version of the old 212 (with the lowbeat 7750) that was selling for $198 but with a sapphire crystal for an extra $80. :-) btw: I'll be the guinea pig, I ordered one!

Andrew has the same specs for his 212 v2 But this is not a big surprise...

Interested in a nice Sapphire crystal for my 212... Ar-less would be good enough!

Can this be done and what would need to be modified in order to do so? There is no need for day date disks, how can the 30min counter be set? Is this a very complicated task that would end-up being less reliable? Need your inputs on this one... p.s: I don't really care about the flyback function.

Who has the best quality beside Panerai service center... Color and lume to match my OEM dial . thanks!

what type of paint would be the best for a touch-up? I've tried a felt tip pen but it has a red hue in certain lighting conditions... anyone has done it before? as always, thanks in advance for your inputs, it is greatly appreciated. :-)

Once again, sorry for anything that may have given the illusion of disrespect in my PM. :-(

thanks! :-)

the dial washer is in place... but the minute hand is loose on the pin. How can it be tightened? thanks!

After putting the hands back on the movement, I'm having this problem with the minute hand. It will slip/slide if I shake the watch head ever so slightly... Is there a cure/fix? Thanks!

lol OK then, what exactly is comprised in a kit? :-)

leather for sale? let me know, I could be interested! :-)
