I have liked the Sea Dweller for some time now so off I went and bought the latest from Andrew and tbh was a bit underwhelmed by it, in a mad moment I thought 'I'll build one' so I bought a case from Ephry on here and looked around for the rest of the parts I needed, an esteemed member/modder (you know who you are!) offered me a dial to fit a 2836 for free so after I found a used 2836-2 movement on the bay I thought I was in business but alas no The Date wheel was out of alignment, which hand set to use, movement holder etc etc!
I'm no watchmaker so after a quick reality check I emailed Jmb I reckon that's the first sensible thing I did!
So after a couple emails I sent off the movement, case and dial to J, he then performed what I can only describe as a minor miracle on my ebay Rado 2836, I noticed it was pretty old looking when I got it but after a service he got it to work within a very respectable 0 secs per day he then sourced all the other parts he needed to finish it really fast and had it back in my hands in Australia very quickly indeed!
Gotta say a huge thank you to J for working this one out for me, very courteous and professional service!
I am not especially concerned with the watch being spot on to gen ...I just like it!
