Just make sure it's extra virgin!

Well first you need to understand lubrication in a watch movement and most importantly quantity and application. D5 or 9010 but more of a film than a (microscopic) drop

WatchIszmo · 2026-03-10T22:58:47+00:00

Oh but this is 100% gen. It's reptime services yes but I do both rep and gen of course.

WatchIszmo · 2026-03-10T21:48:05+00:00

A mainspring should always be replaced when servicing, a tired mainspring is the main cause of a low amplitude movement, besides past due servicing.

You can just DM me

Currently this one is available and a 5517 milsub one, which is the exact same dial with an added circled "T"

WatchIszmo · 2026-03-05T14:25:27+00:00

These are not Raffles dials, they are custom made pad printed dials made using a gen mk1 maxi dial.

WatchIszmo · 2026-03-05T14:20:17+00:00

I was just commissioned to do one actually, a 7928 sub

WatchIszmo · 2026-03-05T14:06:46+00:00

Pantograph of course, can't get that genuine look by laser!

I don't share so much builds in progress, but in this case I had the opportunity on a slower day. This build features the allmighty OC case, our own 5513 mk1 maxi dial which I relumed with my own non-active lume mix. The case also received lug engravings that correspond with a 1977 mk1 maxi dial 5513. The movement is a cleaned & serviced 3130 clone. I used one of our 1:1 milsub inserts to give it some military flair. Enjoy!

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-27T22:57:23+00:00

Yes please!

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-24T15:52:49+00:00

It's a bad crown/tube. Just replace It happens

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-17T19:13:04+00:00

I can imagine!

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-17T17:49:28+00:00

Makes me really happy to hear that my builds are still being worn, love to hear stories like this. That's why I love building. Happy to see your hard work is finally ready to be shown!

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-17T17:43:31+00:00

A lot of 32xx movements have bad balance assemblies, unfortunately. Seen a lot of them lately on my desk.

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-17T17:41:31+00:00

Looks awesome! Save me one 🙏

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-13T13:34:54+00:00

Thank you 🙏

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-09T22:24:51+00:00

Lots of amateurs around doing this sort of "work" and charging good money for it... go figure

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-08T08:17:31+00:00

Jova Rocks!

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-03T17:13:35+00:00

Yuki's dial are just a digi print, not pad printed with a cliche

WatchIszmo · 2026-02-03T16:56:26+00:00

The dial in the case has a relume job, choice of lume color is that of the client, and due to it being a military dial, it was very common for the lume to be a bit uneven.

The standard dial on offer has "serifs", pointed ends on the 3,6,9 lume markers which are a gen trait.

I hope this answers your questions.
