Well, it definitely has AR coating according to those pics. That is friggin great news.

Please add my name for one as well.

Now that they have com eup with a reliable asian 7750 it only seems the next step to creat one with the seconds at 6 versus the bastardized version used in so many watches. This is a GREAT looking watch!

For some reason, this godzirra watch is growing on me after the work done. Pics don't do it justice in my opinion. Well.....at least MY pics.

I don't care. I will still take one, engraving or no. I think there is a lzse engraving service that can do it for me. They have done similiar things for me ion the past but DAMN it is expensive. And I was jsut happy I got the Inge and now you have to come out with THIS?!

I have my beast on today! Just got it back today after being gone for: Movement Cleaning True AR coating (none of this "light AR" crap the dealers try and pull) installed on the crystal and Bezel removed and a nice dot of aircraft epoxy on the back of each marker. (I don't know if it is needed but I figured while it was apart go ahead and have everything done. I am REALLY happy with the quality of Jos's Slytech and it can't be beat for the price!!! It has it's flaws but with a few mods it turns into a BAD-ASS watch!

No, it took them a week to install, BUT it is a hard and durable coating!

I have gotten mine done at the LARGE (i.e. n store lab) Lenscrafters in the mall for $70 plus tax.

Try a tiny screw too. I lost the same piece. I went ang dug through my watch bits until I found and old , junked movment. I then took out an appropriate size screw, filed the head to an angled point, and installed it threaded side down. It works better than the original piece with a smoother click. Beats me why though. edited because my spelling is worse than usual after a few cocktails

WOOHOO!! HAPPY B_DAY!

Actually all the American astronauts wore two watches into space. Each set to mission time and then greenwich time for the 2nd watch. They were each issued 2 Speedmasters. Many wore other watches along side their speedmasters, these included a GMT and a Bulova Astronaut. EVERY astronaut wore a speedmaster. Some just backed it up with something else. The omega is considered the first watch in "OUTER" space. It is splitting hairs but it was the first watch to actually break earths gravity and therfore the first to be in SPACE and not just in the outer atmospheric well. It just boils down to how each manufacturer will define the history to benefit them. All the facts can be looked at in different angles.

thanks Zig! That answers my question completely!

Hey Rob, is this a gear assembly that can be transfered to a swiss 7750 movement? Or is it built into the asian movement?

That is a good idea with the spray, I will try that. I use a water base paint and that solves the fast drying problem when I use a brush though.
