Hello from Minnesota

Hey all, my name is Bob. I got an automatic datejust rep many years ago in New York, it’s still ticking away.

 

My son (6 yr old) picked out a watch for me for Xmas last year. The battery recently died and opened it up to replace it. The screws on the movement were barely scored and I could not get it off, so I fired up the computer in search of a way to remove the screw and found this forum among others in the process.

 

I got my solution (cut the groove deeper with an x-acto knife). I also got hooked on reps in the process. Since then I’ve accumulated a couple more, pics below.

 

Now I’ve got the itch to do a franken 16200 to replace the datejust and then a 16610.

 

IWC annual

Trusty old datejust that is like to recreate with gen parts. Id be curious to know if anyone recognizes the movement, it has held up for 12+ years with no service at all.
