Dizzy Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 The date window on the PT is a little on the small side. The MBW window is correct. I put an MBW1665 dial onto my PT movement and the date lined up just fine. I doubt they are all the same though. The date font could be slightly off on some.

Nanuq Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 That was a long time ago & a number of those great cars later! Regards, mcotter Ah, remember the days of poorly lit garages, engine hoists and rag-tag tools? I did the same, putting a new engine in my sister's car after she ran it out of oil, but my "shop" was the street in front of her house. In winter. I wonder if that's why we like to tinker with watches? Same concept, smaller shop required. And cheaper parts! Give 'er a tuneup and new tires, and see what she'll do...

takumee Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 just received it 2 days ago. watch running a little too fast at 2min/day tried to bleach the insert and i have left it overnight also but to no avail. tried removing the top lacquer with hot water and even using eraser to rub off and bleach too unsuccessful. date wheel im rather okay(date print a little rough) just find the date window a little more to the right. crown guard really too obvious fake. who can i send to shave the crown guard and replace with a better tube and crown guard? last, can a mbk dial fit and align into this PT slow eta? who can cater this package for me? thanks overall view look at the thick acrylic crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 watch running a little too fast at 2min/day 2846s are disposable tin, however i have regulated one to +6 in the past. im done with them especially the 17 jeweled variety tried to bleach the insert and i have left it overnight also but to no avail. use automotive grit wet sand paper, and sand while running the insert underwater date wheel im rather okay(date print a little rough) just find the date window a little more to the right. date window is a known flaw crown guard really too obvious fake. cgs are terrible, but arent they all? who can i send to shave the crown guard and replace with a better tube and crown guard? its not worth outsourcing to mod the PT IMO last, can a mbk dial fit and align into this PT slow eta? yes but MBK cant source replacement dials with feet for ETA , only when they come in a complete watch. why this is i'll never know, believe me i asked him twice. the PT datewheel was also designed for the PT dial who can cater this package for me? anyone willing? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
