    I thought I'd take a dip into our Norwegian friend's pond (after checking with him first) and picked up my second Lemania - a lovely little 27CH12 from the late 40s. I'll have the back off, at the weekend, to verify the sellers claims of it having been serviced. If nothing else, I will correct the 1.8 ms beat error and put a thinner crown on it.

    Sellers photos but it did arrive from Portugal 50 hours after it was posted !

    Nice! HQ Milton has an identical one FS at the moment (and I suspect yours was much less than they're asking...)

    A tired looking stepped dial for my 105.003, and then some more.
    There will be a DO90 bezel and other stuff left over from the whole deal. More on that later.:cool:

    One tire, four brake rotors, two sets of pads, an accessory belt, an air filter, 5 litres of 5W20 synthetic, an oil filter, a control arm, a set of suspension bushings and a shit load of labour.

    Note to self: stop skating the 3500 pound Ford around corners like the old Datsun Coupe..........

    It's a 75090, and I am not sure as yet. Certainly a NATO would look make it look good, but what colour? Black? A Bond NATO? Leather? I do think that blue will need to be seen in the metal to obtain the best match.

    You're going to want a full-size Sub too, eventually, I'm sure. I think the 75090 takes an 18mm strap -- NATOs come in that size, a striped one with blue would be fine.

    Top one might work, or 4th one down...

    Top one is exactly what I was thinking as well...I like the navy blue as well-where did you source these?

    I just searched on eBay for NATO strap 18mm and saw what came up...This particular brand is IW Suisse, but there are other alternatives: http://www.ebay.com/itm/18mm-Black-...296?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a35370790Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
