I'll be refreshing my USPS browser every 15 minutes for the next several days...

 

PM sent

 

I guess I got a thing for the classics. Can't explain this purchase any other way. Jumbo, Late sixties or early seventies. White gold. Comes with original deployant...


Strange thing is, I had a Reverso and didn't like how it wore. This one is just right for me.

 

Just arrived... my second speedmaster, inspired by some nice pictures and threads here!
Another modern watch after a FOIS last month. I know the TinTin is not everybody cup of tea but i really like the extra detail on the dial and the story of it

 

Hey, a Sherpmaster! Very nice!

 

I gave my Tintin to my son for his college grad this past weekend... It's now been two days without it, and I spent tonight looking for another one in the usual places. This is a sickness.

 

...thank you for the virus

I've already ordered/bought a rocket and both comics....

 

I think i got Speedy fever from this forum too

 

Hahaha ...your welcome

 

I definitely caught Speedy fever from this forum... 100% hands down without a doubt!

 

Hopefully starting to hold a bit of potential now?

 

Just arrived after a scary moment with USPS and having to file a claim. Chased this down for months.

 

A natural cork strap from....

Portugal, naturally.

Anyone been to this Museum (source of the strap)?

 

Looks to have been worth the effort and wait...

 

I'm looking forward to seeing how this thread looks tomorrow after the auction

 

I would like to keep it....[emoji16]

 

Whenever I see that Star Wars robot, I think of this now:

(can't cue to 2:23 in embed)

I'ma bend it!

 

Funny you mention that cause my package spent a week stuck at ISC CHICAGO IL. In the end they sent it to the wrong post office where it was loaded onto a truck and stuck in limbo for awhile.

 

Well, yesterday I bought this....


It is a bit random but was super super cheap, but I wanted a project. It is a Siemens HU10/12 master clock. Weight driven but with an electric winder. Combines my love of clocks and electronics. It has a great mid century look. The inside looks a bit scary, but really it is pretty simple, just lots and lots of mechanically activated switches.

First job was to dismantle and clean it all as someone had decided that the key to keeping it going was to cover the whole thing in green oil yuck! seriously what were they thinking... it was everywhere!

Anyway, clean now, but plenty of work to go on working out how the electronics work now ... don't want to plug it in until I am sure everything is OK. It will at least stop me buying more watches for a while!
