I'm certainly no expert on this regulating setup, but when looking at the "watch guy" reparing an Omega 352 it doesn't seem to be the same setup, nor is the balance bridge of same type :https://watchguy.co.uk/service…-seamaster-calibre-352-2/
A good catch with the first watch

super good info Dirk - thanks

Walter - I'm not quite sure I understand you. The 3 crowns of the bezel less watches are in my eyes not identical:
w154 has a bevel on the inside of the crown, while the two others have a flat inside. Did I midunderstand you?
Ciao - Lars

Look at the crown an the pushers: The watches shown in the thread about the plain bezel Junghans are different.
Hi Walter - I'm not quite sure which pictures you are comparing, remember that this is the watch that previously was owned by Günter and restored by Siranja. Why is the crown/pusher types important in the context of the watch shown by @w154 and his case? Do you still have your 0110 - a direct side macro photo would be of great help as well as measurements of the case.
Lars, be careful with "my" watch
br, GünterIt is my pride and joy and as you can see I'm "nursing" it through life. It still runs perfect - good work by @Siranja

Hello Gentlemen
As written yesterday on a popular scocial media, I have taken off the bezel of my 0110 and I think the reason for the 0110's without bexels is simply because they fell off the watches! The bezel was so easy to remove that it was scary. Just pressing slightly with a pocket knife between case and bezel - POP!Video 1 - removal
https://youtu.be/5hNfy3ZfTsQAs seen from the video, I use no force at all, and there is no wire spring. After cleaning the watch and bezel I took the following pictures:
As seen from #1 and #2 there is no room for a wire spring, but the case feature a very small change i diameter only about 0,1 or 0,15 mm. At its widest point I measure 35,70, and just below closest to midcase around 35,60 or 35,55. I think the case profile of my watch is 100% identical the Walther's and "w154"
The bezel is very plain, light slightly flexible and feels fragile, maybe some kind of alloy. The inner diameter varies from 35,65 to 35,60 depending where you measure. When the bezel is installed you just press it down against the case and due to the flex in the bezel the lower part of the bezel flexes a bit upward allowing it to pass the small ridge on the case. It probably worked great when it came out of the factory, but these small tolerences does not allow any wear of bezel and case before the bezel get too loose. I'm really glad that I discovered just how loose my bezel is, have to be even more careful when wearing it.
I'm afraid I have come to the conclusion that the 0110's without bezels are a result of poor engineering/watchmaking and not a delibarate design
below is bezel closeups and finally the install video.

Lebois CEV
I haven't seen that before, what is the history behind the Lebois?
I got some Tropic style straps the other day, and they suit the PRS82 really good imho.

Bedauerlicherweise sind unsere Nummern aus der 1. Serie (116XX) dort nicht aufgeführt
I'm not quite sure what you mean, the 116xx are mentioned in the above document:

14 = France
00 = US
44 = United Nations-standard items..... and drum roll please .......
LU = Luxemburg
So the 5012's are listed with LU and while I'm able to identify all other item codes, the "0060632" doesn't give any hits on google (google is king right
) - embargo related? -
Hello Junghans
[Blocked Image: https://lh3.googleusercontent.…JyFIqpUkmwA=w1162-h768-no]
“Luftwaffenübung "Stählerner Schatten”. Lots of close ups of works associated with the armament of the planes. at 7:27 a good shot of a Junghans again, this time on board of a F4P. The video shows a lot of bombing, anti-personel, napalm, rockets etc.
at 8:33 ace Johannes "Macky" Steinhoff is seen among the audience:

Hi Jimmy - A big congratulation from the rainy north. The 5012 is for sure a special watch and prices have gone through the roof recently - glad to see that it was one from the hood that got it - bravo.
do you also have the 1872 SAAF?

F-104G maintenance check #7 “Not Schließanlage”

Wartung F-104G Starfighter Luftwaffe = https://youtu.be/aKv9lsdln7E?t=2003
Here a maintenance sequence is shown. The pilot wears his Junghans (I think) on the inside of the wrist, but during check #7 “Not Schließanlage” he raises both hands and signals “7”, and there again you see a Junghans. Interesting video - now I know where the oil-dipstick is on a F-104/Lars
PS. It's been a while - I missed you

Die Uhr rechts oben hat ein Ziffernblatt reprint wie die meisten BW-Leonidas da die meisten orig. Blätter zerstört wurden. Ich hatte dazu hier im Forum schon mal etwas dazu geschrieben...
lovely quartet - one is good - but four is better

Die Dan Henry 1963 am schwarzen Racing-Band...
I looks really good Harald, and I did not realise it was a new watch until i did a google
It has that Bretling Co-Pilot look that just makes it stand out from the crowd.highlights of my day: South African on the wrist, Schnitzel on the plate and Grüner Veltliner in the glass.

Congratulations Roberto. The Vixa is one of my favorite watches, one of a kind with the special Hanhart relation and further the nice ingravings on the back. It almost looks like a Breguet Type 20 crown, but the Breguet is even larger I think.
