I bought this about 3 years ago, had the movement overhauled and still it wouldn't run well. Then I did a movement swap from a brand-new Orient World Timer but the crown stem was too short. I had another Orient SK Diver I bought a few years later that also never ran in my junk box for parts, finally I switched crown stems and off she went.

First time I really used my watchmaking tools to do something other than change a battery! :D

Cheers,
Griff

Very Nice. That is good to hear that you were able to use your watch tools for something other than batery changes. Looks good to. Congrats!

Thanks guys! I am psyched to have this on my wrist after 3 years. Plus it's been running pretty much spot on, maybe lost one second in 6-7 hours

Cheers,
Griff

Well done, Griff. I always thought these were fun looking models.
