Thread: Incoming: Ebel Classic Hexagon Regulateur

    Incoming: Ebel Classic Hexagon Regulateur

    I think you'll find that any attempt at screw alignment will damage the screws or leave them loose. These are true screws, unlike the bolts used for the Tekton and for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. This watch does not have a removable case back, and servicing the watch requires removing these screws.

    I'm CDO, which is like OCD but in the correct order.

    Very sharp. Nice clean design. Congrats!

    FYI: The Classic Hexagon Regulateur was one of two Classic Hexagons that first appeared in the 2007 catalog. The other was the Dual-Time. Both use an ETA 2892, Top-Grade, with a Technotime module. Technotime is the current incarnation of France Ebauches, which moved to Switzerland some years ago to avoid excessive French regulation. They are a small concern, though a full manufacture, that makes some very nice stuff, and even to the point of making their own hairsprings.

    The Dual-Time version seems much more common on the ground than the Regulateur, so it was a good find for Dr. Sloan.

    Nice one!
    Look forward to seeing your pics when it arrives
    From its name, I was expecting one of those classic fluid Ebel 'the watch and bracelet kinda melted' designs, but this is restrained with a slight twist - great!
    Personally I'd leave the screws alone, unless they're purely decorative, I'd rather have visual disorder than different torques on the screws :-)
    Enjoy that new watch, sir!
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!
