After a break from reps, and started collecting military watches like CWC, Hamilton, Benrus, and recently I could not resist in buying two reps I really liked, but never have bought before.

So last week I bought a JLC Navy Seals master compressor (with bracelet), and a ZF IWC 3714.

The first one is a great tool watch, and maybe I am going to swap the Asian movement with a Swiss one. The second one is a great dress watch, and I am thinking about replacing some parts (dial, hands, crystal) with gen parts I already have in my toolbox.

 

During my break from reps I have started taking classes in watchmaking, so the first thing I will do is take these watches apart, and cleaning/swap the movements myself.

Happy to be back into reps, and on this great resource on information.

 

I am still enjoying my uber franken HH 5514 which I have build with the help of some great guys of this forum.

Beautiful 5514. I nearly wore my 3714 to work today, but my tag WAB2010 won out. I've been coveting a JLC Master Compressor for a while now, will get around to one one of these days.

Hey Tom! Great to see you again! Except now you've reset my "can't sleep" clock by showing that 5514 again. Great, just great... more long nights staring at pictures on the Internet.

Watches! I'm googling watches! :neener:

Been wondering where you went mate, great to see you back!

 

My old school gen dial 3714 (with Domi’s ”graphite” mod) finally gave up last month - thinking about the ZF. Should be more stable movement right?

 

Third HH of the thread says hi

I still have an untouched HH case. I lost my modder SpeedyG as he no longer has time for watches. Hopefully I’ll figure it out this year.
