Isn't anticipation supposed to be half the joy of a purchase ? RUBBISH - One week down and probably another to go if i'm lucky before something new arrives. Not telling what it is, and no it doesn't have four paws
Sometimes an itch just has to be scratched. Reckoned this should fly below the good ladies radar Time will tell if I am a real mug - please no comments. If you never see it again you will know it is as bad as it looks in this image - cautiously optimistic If you can't make it out it's a Certina
Still hard at work trying to reduce inventory... Sold 1, bought 4 ! Then again it is more fun that way !
Over the last few days, my first Seamaster Chronostop (from Mexico) along with a few oddballs - a Zentra Manta with a Duromat automatic (from Poland) and a Candino chronograph with a Valjoux 7750 with display back (from Turkey). Now I get to see how quick the various international postal services are.
Well, the wait is over................delivered 30 minutes ago! Any guesses That's a bit cruel isn't it, try this OK, a bit closer I 'spose Well there's only one way to make amends for my teasers, here you go
A gamble paid off and this little Certina arrived today, plenty of service marks and what had been a rubbing rotor had obviously been repaired. Recessed crown was a nice surprise, all in all well chuffed.
A couple days ago I bought the complete set of 6 hands for the EP 3019, and today I got an email that the seller has the crown and crystal too. Geezus, if I find a NOS case I have a virtually new watch. Then I can take all the old parts and make a second watch to sell and recoup my money!
