As I wait with bated breath....
If I have to, I'll drive to your house and drop off a watch....

This is an amazing undertaking. I'm sooooo in.

Order entered, worked well.

Shawn Stanford

Got notification of the payment through Paypal, and the inventory went down by one.

Looks like a winner!

Okay, now that I know the ordering mechanics work, here's the site with no inventory available: http://store4847096.ecwid.com/.

Can a few folks take a last, final look before I turn it on in the morning? Look for clarity and simplicity in the instructions, etc. Post here if you see anything amiss.

Thanks in advance!

Site and instructions look clear... can't wait!

Does this one work, it's not on the list...

Shawn Stanford

Yep, that one will work just fine.

For anyone else curious about how you can tell if a watch will work, Google "Seiko #model number# movement" and you should be able to tell by clicking through on a couple of the links.

That watch is a "Seiko SNK807" so: https://www.google.com/search?btnG=1...ent&gws_rd=ssl. It mentions that it has a 7S26 movement in the a few of the links.

That looks a lot like the one I ordered. I think it was the last watch on page 2 of the Amazon list. $49. I think the black band will look good with the dial and looks comfortable as well.

Looks great to me...

Only thing I can think of- to potentially make it easier for you to discern watch mailings/packages from others- would be to list your address as something like:

928 Watch Buy
c/o Shawn Stanford
117 Warren Street
West Pittston, PA 18643
Phone: 570-603-7220

Or not... your choice.

I checked the international part, and all looks very good and OK to me. Thanks ever so much of your continued work on this, Shawn!

I like this one too, and actually ordered one a week or so from Italie as it appeared to have a blue coloured day indicator in their advertized picture - I will find out in a few days if indeed so...
Should go well with our Iris blue colour, and a blue sharks skinn wrist band as finishing touch.

Shawn Stanford

Great idea, Tom. But, I don't get so many packages that it's going to be a problem.

Okay, ordering is active. Have fun!

Shawn,

Order completed, watch on its way to you from Amazon.

Looking forward to seeing the final product. Great work mate.

Sean -

From your instructions, any of these movements should work: 7S25, 7S26, 7S35, and 7S36. My understanding is that the difference between the 7S25 and 7S26 is that the 7S26 has the day/date function, while the 7S25 only has the date function. The same difference exists between the 7S36 and the 7S35.

Since the dial you've created has a window for day/date, will a watch made with the 7S25 and 7S35 movements have a gap where the day display should have been?

DKWalser

Another movement question: The 7S35 and 7S36 movements (which have 23 jewels versus the 21 jewels in the 7S25 and 7S26) appear to have the crown at the 3 o'clock position. There's no reason why these wouldn't work, is there?

Just a point of clarification - you use the term 'RennForums' repeatedly:

The watch dial designed by the members of the RennForums 928 community!

This dial is designed for Seiko 7S26-series watches with the crown (the winding/setting ****) in the 4 o'clock position. The 'movement' is the mechanism that does the work of telling time, and there are many Seiko movements that will work with this dial: 7S25, 7S26, 7S35, 7S36, 6R15, 4R15, 4R35, NH25, NH26, NH35, NE15. If you don't know if the watch you want is compatible, contact me on RennForums.

Here is the original thread on RennForums: "How about another run of watches?"

This is actually the Rennlist 928 forum.

There's no such thing as 'RennForums'. It is only part of the Rennlist URL address used to navigate to the forums.

Shawn Stanford

That's a good question, one I hadn't considered. I would expect that the date only version will show a blank area where the day would have been. I'll check with Duarte.

The movement is exactly the same, but the crown position is a function of the case. The dial is held in place on the movement by a set of pins (called 'dial feet') that fit into corresponding holes in the movement. These pins are obviously rotated a few degrees when the movement rotates. The isn't a 7S26 dial, but you can clearly see the pins:


That being said, it is possible to mount a dial outside of the foot locations, but the pins have to be cut off and the dial mounted using something like double-sided tape. This is possible, but it is outside what Duarte has contracted to do for $25. If your favorite is a 3 o'clock case, then I recommend you buy just a dial and I'll put you in touch with Duarte.
