spider87 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 @Ronin, thank you for the pics on the other note how's the gmt hand on that watch work? haha I am just curious because I heard they have a lot of trouble making them function correctly and to have come from chinatown... To clear something up: I know the righty tighty lefty loosey thing I just was for some reason thinking it might be different with watches (don't ask me why but they seem so particular I figured that would be something you'd suspect haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 @Ronin, thank you for the pics on the other note how's the gmt hand on that watch work? That particular GMT pictured above was from my brother, trying to be nice, while in China. It is a a heap of $%^. The GMT hand on that one just follows along at 2x speed. So pretty much useless as a GMT. I have had it in a drawer for about 6 months and as you can see haven't bothered unwrapping it yet. By-Tor is the GMT Master around these parts. -Ronin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokei Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 If it's a cheapo canal street Rolli...are you sure it is a screwback? This may account for the unsuccessful duct tape and/or sticky ball method...sticky ball usually works on all my rolli reps. Best, of course, would be to get the proper tools (but even then, it wont help you if it's a snap back case)... I think someone just posted something about this...but can quite find the post now.

spider87 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I had that thought too but I can't find any gaps and I swear I remember when I took it to my jeweler him saying it had a gen type caseback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
