Nobby you are no Nooby, you have some serious watches already :)
Thank you very much C Master - that's given me a warm glow of pride...

(A glow that's only slightly dulled by the knowledge that - having taken this Ploppy apart to measure up the movement spacer ring - I've put it back together with a spec of dust trapped under the crystal... D'oh!)

Well you are braver than me. I cheat and bring everything to a watchmaker :)

I'd rather not be practising disassembly/assembly on one of my grail watches, but I have all the parts I need to build another Ploppy except for the spacer, so I took it apart to measure it up for finding another. My deal with myself when I got into this hobby (knowing I was going to get obsessive!) was that I must learn how to fix them if they break - even if that just means replacing a movement. Plus, I don't have a local watchsmith to go to! :)

The above pic was yesterday in Waikiki.
click on the link below to see comparison pics of the same watch on wrist to the gen in window at the Omega boutique in Waikiki:

Nice comparison there. I read on some watch review site about a Rolex AirKing that was sold with 2 9s. It passed all checks but no one spotted the double 9 so a gen Omega being misaligned appears normal lol.
