ubiquitous Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 Just like this one that hammered at Christies in 2018 for an insane amount (minus bezel)... 😆 3

ubiquitous Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 It's been a long absence, but nice to see old friends! Miss you guys! Have not done much with watches in a long time, and frankly, with some of these new pieces coming out, there's really not a lot to do with regards to building either. Admittedly, it's kinda strange to have a new rep that doesn't need a gen dial, or hands or crystal... And more shockingly, has a reliable clone movement with 72hr power reserve... So, been spending a lot of my free time putting miles on the car. Miles of smiles 🙃 6
Nanuq Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Hah, I’m spending a lot of time with my car too. I smacked a moose in November and it’s taken me this long to find wings and a bonnet. Now stripping and wishing I was good with a brass hammer and a block of wood. I guess I can say my replacement body parts have “character”. 1

Its fairly easy, i removed this big wheel and filed off some of the teeth so it has no contact with the hour wheel then glued it on, it's easier to get the 6oclock pin in the right place that way than just gluing the little wheel,Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk 1

Congratulations on a job well done, enjoy it well, that’s a gorgeous Speedy that truly wears like gen. Edited May 1, 2020 by Pontiaddict 1
