I don't like posting a watch here more than once, other than for a special ocaision, but it is the el Primero day of the weekend and we haven't seen a Class 4 for a while:

 

Repetitive I know but that piece I do like

 

another weekend lost to the gods of shiny things.........

 

I'm a sucker for oddball chronometres. Some avant-garde geometricity going on here.

 

Have I ever told you guys that I love bumpers?









*some assembly required. batteries not included - EVER!

 

Do you like these larger 36 mm versions better than the 34 mm model you have? Judging by pictures, the one you already own is more suited to your wrist size for a gold dress watch.

However, if you decide to part with that you know who to call.... and it ain't Ghostbusters. Just don't expect me to give up mine.

 

Great pic! love that dial!!

 

Hmm, and you aren't telling your friends?!?! C'mon, Spill!!

 

Ahh, answered my own question, I did...very nice piece Sir!! Love the colour of the dial on that one...

 

Shameless plug for www.secondtimeticking.com Horween Shell watch straps (by way of wdwrkr2 a/k/a Byron). Simply put, his straps are the best quality leather I've come across.

Other "Horween" straps purchased in the past don't come anywhere close to this quality. I'm wearing this rig right now and it feels like warm drawn butter on my wrist.

Bonus: Byron is just a straight up awesome dude.

/end honest shill

 

So after a little delay, I managed to get most of the day on the workshop and have the lathe set up.

On to the kitchen bench for a photo shoot, not as pretty as the one UncleBuck has, but still a nice little workhorse.

Who's going to pick the issue with the countershaft?

Now only the disassembly again and cleaning and polishing, and then putting it all back together. I was thinking of giving the plate an engine turned finish, might have to wait until I get a spurt of inspiration.

And keeping me company on the task was my mate, Ω X-33.
