Hi thanks for feedback.
Pushers seems to me equal to the one you have for sale.
Are they different?
What do you mean by "heavily resatinated'?
Thnks

 

NOS
and FULL SET

instant classic!

 

Picture from SALA

 

Joao, your gold Spillman is impressive, true congrats

 

no small seconds on 267 Larry !!
lol

 

If you look at the photos of the spillman pushers you can see the pusher cap to pusher tube ratio is very tight, meaning there is almost no lip on the pusher cap where it meets the tube. I believe it's around 4.5mm on the cap and 4mm on the tube. With your gold spillman you can see the diameter between cap and tube is very different.
I'm not saying that is wrong, I have no idea......

 

bummer, I hate that.....

 

You are righ for the pushers ! I guess that we have ultra rare prototypes !
I ment rebrushed case and back but maybe not, the watch looks absolutely great anyway !

 

You mean this difference?

The cap in mine is larger than in Sala is that?

 

yes, that difference. It is hard to say if the cap is larger, it's the relationship between the cap and tube that is different. Perhaps the cap is the same size but your tube is smaller? Or perhaps both are different? You would need precise dims with a caliper.....

I can't tell if yours and Jo's are the same, they look different to me, and perhaps both different to Sala, although Jo's looks closer to Sala offhand, again, I think you would need accurate dimensions to tell what is going on....

 

Please have a look to this.

I can agree my cap is thinner, but also tube size in my Compur is similar to SALA than in Highlifewatches compur.
I found some others on internet, and I can not precisely say which is correct, but highlife is the similar I could found.
Also when one size and crop the picture the ration between large and high changes and that might have some influence.

Any way watch is now at SPA, and to my watchmaker tubes are correct, and caps fitted perfectly to him, but who knows.

I am pleased with the watch, and in the end that´s what matters to me.
Thanks for all your feedback

Sorry if I offended someone for posting these pictures without due permission

No prototypes for sure, but rare I think so

Cheers

 

yes, obviously some variation going on between all those different photos, but who knows why, and which is "correct"....
enjoy

 

Can we say that this is a minor -minor - minor - minor trouble?

 

Newest addition: these tiny little pieces look like toys but only hold it on your hand you can really feel the quality of it. They are totally on par with the big ones for the gents. The automatic movement is one of the most silent/smooth ones I’ve ever handled.

 

After checking my watches with a UG expert, the watch is fully original and the sub seconds has a different "shape" but that's normal.

 

I had to scroll WAY back to find your watch ! Assuming its this one...



then I will respectfully disagree and stand with my original thoughts, which are the sub seconds is a replacement. I'm sure others can chime in if you would like to hear anyone else's feedback? Or invite whomever you had evaluate the watches onto the forum, to hear their reasoning. Regardless it's a beautiful watch !!

 

Yes sorry I should have posted the picture again Yes this is the one ! I don't know what you think then because I guess you are an expert Let me ask and see if I can tell you more ! Thanks anyway

 

I am not an expert, I am an enthusiast. We are all learning

 

You are right ! It's not the original one, he confirmed, I just misunderstood. Damn it, it's going to be difficult not to say impossible to find one I guess. Thanks bgrisso

 

It will be difficult but not impossible.
Don’t let it stop you fully enjoying the watch as is
