Mike on a bike Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 If you were conus I'd ship you a loaner. The horror a watchless member, will someone in EU rectify this problem post hast! 1
gmtlover Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Posted January 7, 2013 GMT I think a big problem has been overlooked in this discussion , two are you sure two watches! You are slacking now go down the members sales board and get some back ups! disclaimer : I have nothing for sale at this time. I am collecting all the parts to build a 16613 based on the TC 16610. So that will be my next! but it is taking time to collect all the parts needed.
Mike on a bike Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Dam not even a heaven forbid cheap quartz about Hmmm this is distressing.
gmtlover Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Posted January 7, 2013 Tick tack tick tack...my wrist is feeling strange...O [censored]..there is no watch!
JoeyB Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 can't I just follow this guide? http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/132392-eta-keyless-tutorial/ Thanks! That is what I would do. You'll find out if you are missing a part through the tutorial. If you are like me it will be on the floor behind something that is impossible for it to have gotten to. I swear some of the springy parts have broken the sound barrier when they went flying. Fortunately my Lady is a surgical nurse, and they have to find tiny needles, etc. on the floor to make their count. She finds my parts every time and I get to watch her... With experience the keyless works on the ETA is a quick and easy fix. First timers should just take their time and follow the tut carefully. It's a good one.
gmtlover Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 I think I have fixed the keyless. but now I can't get the date wheel back on. I can not get to the vspring because of the BK overlay on the date wheel. How do I solve this...arggh..
Legend Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 This is what i have doen when shiits like this happen, look it onely helps for the time being! You will need to get it fixed! But... POOR your self a huge Vodka Redbull, mix it 50/50 (so its strong) drink that, and just enjoy the forum for one day, forget about watches just write some bullshiit, start a wierd topic, pick a fight ect ect LOL my friend, redbull + vodka does not solve every problem in life but it can certainly put things in a pleasant perspective.
gmtlover Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 Do I need to take the BK overlay of in order to install it? or is there another trick?
gmtlover Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 WOW...I did it.. Fixed the keyless and got the DW back on..Now sleep! Tomorrow reinstall the dial and hands! woho
the_rymeister Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Nice work gmt lover, those keyless works are so sensitive on the eta movements, I've had to sort quite a few of mine out when I take my reps apart,I always seem to mess them up installing the stems I've got most spare keyless parts if you need anything
gmtlover Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks for the support guys! Next keyless work I can do with a little bit of confidence.. And not forget the vodka.. That calmed me down enough to try it ;-)
Rolexman Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Good one!! The hands are the biggest challenge for a beginner IMO. Especially getting the plated chromed ones on without marks....

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Are you trying to make me nervous?? Vodka/redbull mate
Mike on a bike Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Hey "Z" stay away from that Redbull stuff will kill you, not the booze that is good for you!
Mike on a bike Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 GMT "I will not repair another movement without vodka" I agree steadies the hand.
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 Well god damn Congrates mate thats a ugly watch! But amazing you pulled it of
gmtlover Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Posted January 9, 2013 I know.. ;-) but keep an eye out for my first build. TC franken 16613 ;-)
