M.T.O watch project,

[Sparky415]

In the future there may be a 'Z' guide book listing what all the letters mean  (with the names of the people that were issued each of the watches)

now that would be a dream tony, and we can all have them  would be fun in say 4 years time for a post started showing all M.T.O watches over the years , i could add pics of what i call X cased watches, these are around 2-3 watches i use to test, i usually end up given a few away to friends and family as i did this time with one that i wear and test each movement in for 2-3 days,

ok did 2 more subs this am so been testing the deepsea's WR, since this case has a HE (helium escape valve ) although not really a function on this model , i wanted to make sure there was no issues, this button is spring loaded but resest so not to accidently press it, well on first tank tesy there was a leak problem as seen in this pic,

bottom of the case,right where the valve is,


so although it came from the vavle area i did a gasket check,note a R word around the chapter ring 


checked both gaskets on the crown thread,


crown gascket,



due to the valve being more of a non user feature i filled it with resin, possibly use JB weld on M.T.O cases, button still pushes in,


back in the tank and no leaks 


and back together, ill test it in the pool next week 

[John]

Looking good Paul  I think JB weld is a good idea 

[NutSAK]

Do you regulate/adjust these movements yourself Paul, or are they well-regulated from the factory?

[Zed]

TBH they come pretty much regulated , but i wear each movement in the test case for 2-3 days and regulate if i have to , but so far all have run spot on 

[Chako]

Keep the photos and updates coming. I am overjoyed to have made the second listing.

[MultiMat]

I like the idea of my watch being one of the first 10 & having the ID to go with it  .
If possible 

[ryan1835]

I prefer the idea of getting number one

ok a little update, only 3 more to do 

[ICanFixThat]

Looking Great!

For the Seadweller, a little lube on the o-rings might have stopped the leak, but sealing it seems sensible since the valve is not present.

Waiting to see the casebacks... and then.... the postmarks....

yeah was thinking of that and still might as this is a test X case, ill see on the next case,  yep getting close now   

[Zed]

ok got another done tonight i was aiming at 2 more but had to re-seat the crown set up on a case so took a bit more time,

ok just in case some of you guys have not had a nato before i took some fitting pics, hope it helps,



Nato's are very long as for wearing over a skin suit while diving so extra length needed,not needed but the usual is to fold it back on its self, but of course you could trim it and burn the end,

mine folded back,

They must not be very accurate.  They're all showing different time.

Now that is a proper Bond NATO, I love the look of that strap!

The watches are looking amazing too, really happy to be a part of this.

[sawman]

Don't you have a watch-winder 

[John]

I love these straps I have one (not a bond,mines green) and I don't think of my SKX007watch being on my wrist until I need to tell time,they're light weight and easy to care for  

[Zed]

yeah the corvus bond nato is very nice but at a price sadly, the black with grey has become the known bond nato until a while back when better close up showed what colour it actually was, and it wasnt a nato as was a one piece strap with a material band to slid the extra strap through ,

sadly no winder , ive never had a need for one as usually only got around 2-3 auto's at a time, it would have to be a big winder at the moment and no need as once there checked i dont need to keep them running ,

and yes john i agree nato's are very comfy for day to day use plus easy to swap with another nato, i usually have 2 as they can get smelly , so i wash one and swap them around 

[Zed]

case backs all ready for the engravers tue 

[Zed]

looks like the boxes arrived but wife picked them up so not seen them, engraving is being done and ill have them back wed
