    Black Ultra Dive?

    Were there Ultra Dives in black cases? Or is this a well-worn OPS with an UD dial? https://www.ebay.fr/itm/204230576502

    "Short" automatic script on a Guide

    Interested in this watch: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255938488212 The "automatic" script is odd. It is shorter in length than any other Guide I can find and the sans-serif, bold font just feels "off". Am I being paranoid?! (Yes, the GMT hand is all wrong)

    New to me: fake bezel?

    I've looked closely at my Guide bezels and I'm 88.5% sure this one is a repop/fake. Beggars the question, why? Why not make a "good" repop and we'd all be delighted to pay through the nose for them! The older I get the weirder the world seems... https://www.ebay.com/itm/225346510165

    Dream watch, finally!

    Finally managed to get one of my dream time pieces, a Heuer Super Autavia dash timer. A very cool timer which displays time, has a chronograph, and a clever 12 hour bezel you can use to time longer events. Works but needs the usual full service and crystal polishing. Not as easy and...

    Very early Mini Dive crown photos, please!

    I have a very early Mini Dive with a white dial and dauphin hands. The stem was broken and the original crown long gone when I got it. Delightfully, it fired right up with a few shakes. I have sourced a new, correct, bezel, pointer ring and spring clip but I'm a bit hesitant about the crown...

    Super Dive Mk1 inner bezel gear

    Someone has glued on the wrong crown to my Mk1 Super Dive inner bezel gear stem. I'd like to supply the watchmaker with a new one just in case. Would anyone know if any of the ones on "watchesulike" is correct...

    Thick or thin crown?!

    I have seen photos with both. Which is correct?

    Enicar Stewardess, my grail watch

    I had never even seen one before and almost fell off my seat when one in very good condition popped up C24. Needless to say, I didn't hesitate. I can only speculate that it was issued to a JAL stewardess who must have taken very good care of it. The obvious issues are corrosion on the crown...

    You're going to laugh, 5.5mm crosshatched Diver crown in gold

    5.5mm crosshatched Diver crown in gold and silver, one each. Yes, I know, the gold one. Might as well ask for a bushel of hen's teeth as well. Still, if you never ask... I have two early Mini Dives that are lacking their proper crowns, one gold-cased.

    Early Mini Dive Red Indicator Ring

    Looking for an early red indicator ring for a Mini-Dive. It has the triangular-shaped pointer rather than the later house-shaped pointer. Thanks for the help.

    Super Dive crowns

    Do later Super Dive crowns look like this: Both the winding and inner bezel crowns? My question is in regards to the extended internally threaded post.

    External bezel shims

    Underneath the external bezel/indictor ring there is a thin, flat shim/spacer/washer made out of hard plastic (I think). Anyone have a source for these? Suggestions for material source? Alternatives?

    More Planet Trouble

    There's an early Guide Mk1 on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255322127419 Reasonable, original condition: But it has cross-hatched crowns without the Saturn logo: Now I know very early Mk1 Graphs had a cross-hatched crown without the Saturn logo but that would be earlier than the first...

    Intervention required

    I think I just crossed a line in my Enicar collecting. I bought a bitsa Guide because it had a fair condition early cities bezel. Sedation required for sure but possibly restraints as well would be a good idea... The bezel is going to my recently purchased, Enicar in Saturn logo, Mk1 Guide...

    External bezel retaining springs

    Is there a source? Ones that can be adapted? Or just make them up?

    Dream watch realized!

    Ok, it needs work: wrong external bezel, winding crown and something is loose inside. But, it’s a Mk1 Guide with the Enicar in Saturn logo! And it’s 30J, bonus! I’m thrilled. Now off to my watchmaker and I won’t see it back for 6 months, if I’m lucky! Oh well…

    Sherpa Steward 33

    As you saw in WRUW, it arrived safe and sound, whew! It’s a later Sherpa Steward with the newer Enicar under Saturn logo. It also has a 33J movement as compared to the earlier 30J and 24J versions with the Enicar in Saturn logo. Fired right up with a few twists of the wrist and...
