Finally completed what's been a bit of a long term aim for me - a 1:1 homage of the 6105-8009... I say 1:1, there are a couple of very small differences along with the different crystal type - bonus points if you can spot them.

A slim case from Ali also arrived - bought to see how I like it, and have dropped in the movement and dial from a previous build.

I may go a bit further down that rabbit hole eventually, depending on how I like it... so far it feels like there's something missing, having become used to the later version.

I'm not altogether pleased with the black/grey bezel insert - my black didn't fit quite right - though may stick it on a grey NATO which could look nicer...

A different kind of party: 6105a movement and battered and bruised old original dial mounted inside an Rdunae homage case. Not sure if that makes it a homage build or not really?! 

 

In an ideal world I'd find some better hands (maybe did already, though I doubt I'll find originals at a reasonable price) and eventually the proper case/crown... Not sure about the 'aged' bezel either, though pleased with my enlarging of the lume hole... 

Might stick it on a grey strap.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement.

      Chinese tools debate

      He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).

      Seems like he doesn't have the micrometer cap  attached to the spindle so he can only push down but cannot pull up? If the cap screws into the spindle I guess you don't need the spring? I only have a "normal" Seitz so I really have no idea.

      Lathe motor advice

      By Dell · Posted

      Yes in my opinion the 3/4HP is plenty but it’s your decision & yes it does come with speed control but foot operation so my reason for changing to potentiometer was because my leg shakes so it was like me revving the lathe & anyway I prefer to set the speed. I & a few others that I recommended the motor to run a Pultra 10mm lathe so if you have a 6 or 8mm B & L then it will be plenty, if you have seen any of my videos you will have seen that when using a graver I run quite slow without any problems.
