twinfake Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Got this from a certain well know auction site. Its been well used but still in not bad condition [i like some wear]. Let me know what you think. Pics are not great but tried my best with a cheap digi in bad light. The bad I don't like the dial so i will replace it, has a small blemish on. Hands are a little short. Mag not quite right. Case could do with being re polished and brushed. The good Feels nice quality, everything feels solid and works very well. Gen eta 2846, keeps great time within a few secs in 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Except for the dial, you have the making of a nice frankenjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Not bad,not bad at all. With the few things that you mentiond,very nice. Good luck Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 That 2846 would go great in a 1680 or 1665- especially with that old style datewheel with the open 9 in 29. Definitely a new dial- salmon does nothing for me. Fixing the date mag is tough- either another crystal or a better cyclops have to be sourced. Not that easy to do. Maybe you find a better cyclops, heat the crystal- out of the watch of course- pop the cyclops, clean the crystal and glue the new one on with clear UV glue. It can be done, just not a beginners mod. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
