Davey Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I've not really been an active member of the forum over the last 2-3 years and I've been wearing the same old Airking day in, day out! I was tidying up my study and I pulled the box which has all of my tools and parts so I started going through it.. There are so many un-finished projects I started and gave up on :| I found: A Submariner 5508 I was building, correct small (smooth) sub-case, flat sided bezel, plastic crystal, fat crown, polished back etc.. but for some reason I never finished it.. Half finished Millgauss. Most of the parts to build a vintage Explorer II (1655 orange hand). A gorgeous Daytona 6263 case with 18mm strap and slide ways clasp plus two dials. God knows where the movement went! An Omega planet ocean with a fudged stem. And LOADSSSS of parts I forgot I had (cases, crystals, movements etc. etc.).. So I'm fixing the Omega and I think I might try and find a movement for the 6263 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demsey Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Whoa, 'Davey'. How the hell have you been? Surrey right? Have they dug the tunnel in Hindhead yet? Not even a hobby watchsmithy, so I have no box o' parts, but I was sorting out a load of files to shoot to a back-up drive and I came across a saved post/tutorial of yours regarding 'Keyless Works Realignment' you posted on the old RWG, 2-3 years ago actually. Spooky how that goes. Maybe it were your last post to date? Anyhoo you helped sort out my TWB SD. I suppose you missed my 'thank you' post then? Good luck sorting out your old projects. I know how it feels to fall out of 'hobby'. I've had this on the building board for about seven years. The progess from pic 1 to pic 2? Three years. Good to see you.

Davey Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Demsey, hope life is treating you well! Glad you sorted the SD! Pain in the [censored] when the ETA's do that, I've had a few do it on me even when I've used the correct size screw driver. I'm terrible with hobbies, the only one I never give up on is cars! I've got a fully fitted workshop now (ramps, compressor, press etc.) and I spend my free time there now. Plus I've always been a bit to heavy handed for watches Oh and Its Berkshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
