marrickvilleboy Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Ok...so I had a chance to purchase some old TAG Heuer parts and I thought i would put together a nice watch, here's the result. I picked up a Used case with dial, since being a watchmaker, I'm able to pick up parts cheaper, so i bought genuine Hour + Minute hands and also bought a ETA 251.262 movement which came with subseconds hands and 2 split timing hands (seconds and minutes) So I put it all together and ordered a Rep bracelet to go with the case, the rep bracelet is from SILIX (thanks) it doesnt actually fit that well but i will get them to fit better when i have time to do them up. What do you guys think? picture of the watch in progress end result thanks for viewing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Looks very nice! Is that an automatic movement?? Haven't heard of that one and the subdial spacing is quite different from autos I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Looks very nice! Is that an automatic movement?? Haven't heard of that one and the subdial spacing is quite different from autos I've seen. its an ETA Quartz movement - same as the one they put in the TAG HEUER Quartz Chronograph. This is how it works: the subdials run like this: 10 o'clock subdial counts hours; 2 o'clock subdial counts 1/10 of a second: 6 o'clock subdial is a running seconds. the center hands run like this: hour hand per usual; minute hand per usual; primary center seconds hand counts seconds when stopwatch is in use; secondary center minute hand counts minutes when stopwatch is in use. Altogther the watch has 7 hands. Hope this clears it up =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 What do I think? I think it looks fantastic! It looks like it uses the same case/bracelet combination as the Aquagraph and Aquaracer 2000 Chrono. Mmm, I love it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
