ubiquitous Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 During my brief hiatus from RWG, I took a few late night hours to perform a new mod on my Royal Oak Jumbo- Specifically a modification to cleanly remove the seconds hand from the equation. Here's how the watch looks as-is out of the box: If you'll notice, yes, there is no sweep center seconds present. However, upon closer inspection, the way this was acheived was by cutting the seconds hand down to just the center post. This is most apparent in the last of the three pics posted above. So, here's the corrected updated version- Basically an entire new minutes pinion specifically for a non-center seconds set up. Please excuse the poor pics: The only thing I'm waiting to do now is to add a nicer set of hands, which are currently being re-lumed in the correct color by our resident expert ziggy Conclusion: It's still not an exact 1:1 appearance as the genuine AP 2121, as the minute pinion on those is much smaller in diameter. But to me, this appears to be a much cleaner fix than the cut seconds hand solution Also... I have yet to do this mod on my Nautilus. The case construction and removing the movement to do the work is not high of my list of priorities All the best... Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
