RWG Technical Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Now the owner needs to swap out the Day and Date wheels Actually I did swap out the day and date wheels for the ETA ones, the movement is also a ETA 7750. I don't have any other wheels available, and was under the impression that the ETA ones were correct for this watch. Certainly I will never claim to be an expert in this area, and I think I did the exact same on kruzer's Cousteau, that is install the ETA wheels... Can you clairify this point?

RWG Technical Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 How the f*ck do you do that?! Almost looks machined! You don't want to know, lets say there was more than one cup of tea consumed during the two lume applications, and the two varnish applications... very tedioius and hard on the eye (the loupe eye that is...).f @ all Thanks for the kind words, makes the effort worth while, and I am sure the owner will also be pleased with the results...

Fantastic job all around Whew, good stuff, I wasn't looking forward to having to take it all apart again... @k2222 Yes it is hard on the eyes, even with 10/20 vision I find it tiring after the first 30 minutes...
