Team, Got it few weeks back and I'm truly impressed by the amazing simplicity and outstanding accuracy of the "old" 2405 Co-Axial movement. Zero deviations after few days on my wrist and watch drawer. 1) Against the beautiful Fall blue sky: 2) A B&W p...
I hope that Sir Graham just took sabbatical nothing less nothing more My choice would be Sir Graham's big one but that's just megalomaniac me :) Sincerely D
. . . and Melvyn (twice!) owned was really a different genus, Nilo. The manual winding movement in that iteration was derived from a Unitas 6498 ébauche. I was extremely close to getting one of the 36 mm versions . . . . . . which was a perfect fit on my ...
Art, Or the watch on your wrist is not the 36mm or your wrist is thinner that I was believing. Anyway, it's a pure watch and a manual wind one can be more pure. Cheers, Nilo
I\'m currently deliberating about the new SM 300 Co-axials.. - Still Steel/black vs Ti/ blue - not yet fully decided, so far. A bit a pity, that there is no blue in steel.. Also a bit undecided as of prize difference, especially so, as the Ti version is n...
I\'m still on my hunt for a decent SM 300, (2913, or more realistically 165 014, maybe alternatively 165 024) ! Quite a number of "empty" kilometers so far.. But at same time I\'m interested in the modern (2015?) Seamaster Co-Axial, blue dial / Titanium.....
And if you find your 2913 - well the next logical step would be 2914! ;) For the step after that, 2915 - that's when it starts to get really tricky! Best Blomman
.. Have tried to check in Forum Search, but no quite successful, yet !.. Sorry, my ignorance - I think to remember that yours is a 2913 ( with Lollipop) and Nico\'s is also 2913 (?!). I think, I\'ve recently located one 165.014, but the correct bezel is m...
. . . the movement being the most significant (cal 552 vs cal 501 in the CK2913), but also the case (twisted lugs vs solid), bezel (wider, and without the 'eye'), crown, and probably a few more, these being the obvious differences right off the top of my ...
The 165.014 you show, HS, have the straight lugs. The bezel is there, but the inlay is gone... Also the dial feature different indexes, broader, non sharp teeth. Candle stick hands. To find a new bezel inlay is not easy... What I haven't figured out yet i...
... to add my comment. I have been after a vintage Railmaster for a long time without finding one in good condition and price. Always in love with the dial of the Railmaster I looked for the modern rendtion in 36,2 or 39,2 case but coudn´t find one either...
The case, should be similar to the SM 300 Master (straight lugs). Meanwhile, I'm very happy with the 41mm case size (I feel small watches ... too small). Cheers, Nilo
