    Thanks so much for your advice. It's from a Hamilton chrono with silicon hairspring, the H-51-si. I wouldn't be doing it, I would be asking a watchmaker to do it, but I want to check if it's even...
  3. ETA 7753 Silicon Hairspring / Balance Assembly Compatible with Sellita SW510M ?

    I want to grab the balance assembly off an ETA 7753 with a silicon hairspring and transfer it into a Sellita SW510M, and transfer whatever parts between the two to make it work. Can this be done?

    I second this request. People thought the Tudor GMT was thick. I think part of the charm of having a small diameter watch is also the thinness. If a watch is too thick, it's better to be balanced...

    That doesn't sound enough to meet demand. I believe some of the Everests were built to this number and are all sold out now - I think these will be more popular. If these get sold out, would you...

    What's the thickness of the watch? Thanks.

    Also: Eddie, these will probably be very very popular. Will you have decent amounts of these or only a small amount produced? Thanks!

    Coloured Dials: I get it now.

    I have a lot of watches. A lot. Over 40 of them have black dials. People prefer monochromatic watches for 2 primary reasons:
    1. they are visually versatile and go with any clothing
    2. they...

    I think the PRS-47 is much better looking than the black Everest, but that "Commando" text is a bit much. I associate that look with "Everest" or "Antarctica", not "Commando". Or how about...

    I think these are great, but I wish that the 25 used syringe hands (like the 25Exp) instead of Rolex hands. I think the 25 is a desirable watch and doesn't need to Homage Rolex so obviously (this...
