Genius 281 Posted June 11, 2014 That looks like spot on work mate very impressed! I have just bought a rep sub through M2M with an asian ETA I'm really happy with it but would like for it to be waterproof (it may already be but not willing to risk) so looking for someone who would be able to seal and pressure test it an maybe also take a few scratches out of the strap, but waterproofing is my main concern. I am in the UK do you mind if I PM you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

umecha 0 Posted June 11, 2014 Do you oil the jewels for the pallet fork pivots? I'm just wondering cause it look like it in this pic: https://tapatalk.com/tapatalk_image.php?img=aHR0cDovL2ltZy50YXBhdGFsay5jb20vZC8xNC8wNi8xMS9vcmlnaW5hbC8zdXZhNnVyYS5qcGc%3D I always though that you were meant to leave the pallet fork pivot jewels un-oiled. At least that's what I've heard from other people online, as well as in the ETA technical documentation for the 2824 and 7750. Just wondering if there's any reason that you should :dunno: Your brushing and polishing looks really good btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkz88 0 Posted June 11, 2014 Hold on U need to buy this one - U don't need to buy big hole or something.when u used longer they hole will be wide open.that time u can't used.some like this- Before After used the hole wide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, but I'm using this machine as I don't have much to spend on the real deal: The metal pin is 12,7mm thick with a screw to tighten the wheel.. Think I'm going to buy regular 9mm ones and bigger the hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
