The lume dots have fallen off mine but you can see where they were and the black five minute markers are indeed underneath where the lume was. It is better looking in person and your dial is awesome condition.MMARChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841674106548891559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-26674739601933775672018-10-02T06:34:17.838-07:002018-10-02T06:34:17.838-07:00 thanks for letting me coment. my mini rotor mod... thanks for letting me coment. my mini rotor model 666 is gold and has a screw back. and a simple dial. i prefer the stainless case. thanks for dissasembly photos. vin Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03283004408112073223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-20664849328286044712016-10-02T17:07:01.223-07:002016-10-02T17:07:01.223-07:00I don't know what the alloy is but it's no...I don't know what the alloy is but it's not noticeably heavy. I think it's all about the torque that it provides and the efficiency of the winding gear train. Bigger rotors can have more torque. But maybe the gear train on the micro-rotors is more efficient? I'm sure there's a reason that many people think they are underpowered.HandyDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083270175066343104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-86438394481108522342016-09-29T23:16:12.906-07:002016-09-29T23:16:12.906-07:00Is the Buren micro-rotor noticeably heavier than w...Is the Buren micro-rotor noticeably heavier than would be a typical rotor? At one time, had thought to buy one of those movements on Ebay, just to play with. The bidding always ran higher than what I wanted to pay. Have always wondered about that rotor and what metal alloy was used.MJ Dombekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345059228406415317noreply@blogger.com
