leitztozeiss Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 My brother got his super modded 188 and offered to sell me his 212. So here it is next to the 222 that I received from Richard Tracy. I like this 212 in particular because it has the polished pushers. I'm also impressed with how accurate the 222 is to gen. The dial is simply gorgeous. Lume is generous. I just need a thicker crown. I had to take the 222 apart earlier to fix a misaligned power reserve hand and re-align the hour hand so that the date change would occur at 12. Speaking of date, I was surprised to see TWO magnfiying lenses contributing to provide a highly magnified date. One lens is embedded in the date aperture in the dial. And, the other lens is on the crystal. After putting it all together, I had to take it all apart again to remove a speck of dust on the dial. I'll post pics later of that procedure. 212 & 222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TineT Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Great watches, 222 sure is a beauty on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Beautiful watches. The 2892-A2 power reserve also has a two lense cyclops system but for whatever reason its magnification is not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitztozeiss Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Crap. Woke up this morning and found the movement stopped at 6am. Everything was working great when I went to bed. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
