flavor flav Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 just finished up a full service on this watch. it's a c series 001. it was completely dry and running slow. did a full teardown clean and lube and now she's smooth as butter i though you guys may enjoy the pics to compare against our reps. the movement finish is unmatched.... it's really good!
justaguy88 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Seeing this watch just makes me wanna spring for the gen. The build quality is incredible, and there is just a little "something" that makes it stand out....so smooth and well finished. ahhhhh.....reps for now.....
TK471 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Wow! Great pics, and nice finish on that thing!
V Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Excellent pictorial my friend... really shows the difference between gen and rep..
Watchmeister Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Flav- Thanks for the pics. Your skills are rapidly improving.
Jetsons Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Excellent post and photos, Flav. Very nice finish on the movement.....looks terrific! I'm surprised that a gen movement on this caliber watch would be as dry as you found it. Thanks for sharing!
TK471 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 What was the film around the regulator arm you were talking about? Just gunk? In the last pic it looks like there are some marks around that area. Is that where you had to scrape it?
vaccum Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 WOW...what a difference! Thanks for sharing. vaccum
z80 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Very nice pics, thanks! I never realized the entire case.. well except the back, of an 001 was polished.
Guest avitt Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Very nice pics, thanks! I never realized the entire case.. well except the back, of an 001 was polished. If you want to make this improvement to your own rep, pick up a Jimmy Fu case. They are exactly 1:1, and are finished like the original.

In the last pic it looks like there are some marks around that area. Is that where you had to scrape it? it almost looked like dried superglue on a matte surface. after three dips in "one dip" (very strong cleaner) didn't get it off, i had to scrape it. it's not good to have anything in the path of the regulator arm. she's running silky smooth

Guest RiverwindMDS Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 If somebody knows where to find Jummyzfu cases it would be great to tell everyone...
V Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 If somebody knows where to find Jummyzfu cases it would be great to tell everyone... I am telling everyone for the last week but no one is paying attention: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...20314&st=20 Now the last ones are gone...

V Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 i figure those were long gone..... Yeap... and then he found 1-2 last ones in his pile of stuff and listed them. Thank God I thought about it and have 2-3 extra spares to sell when I will need the money
