Good luck with that!

 

Very very nice! That's a 1950s Constellation box right?

 

Some nos watch crowns for Movado/Zenith:

 

Yes, thanks. And remarkably, I paid only a bit more than the value of the silver content!

Small auctions can still lead to great value at times.

 

Congrats that is a really nice accessory.

 

First serious watch. Fell in love with it the moment I put it on. DSOTM

 

Congrats. Beautiful watch.

 

Took a chance with this one on our local craigslist.

It turned out to be a bingo. Much of course thanks to my wizard of a watchmaker!

Damn that's a handsome piece. Is this brand new? So many nice watches out there in the world!

 

I ended up picking get it up used. It's 3 months old.. basically brand new.

 

Very nice. Good find on Craigslist!

 

I don't know if it's just me. The dial printing is concerning. Did your watchmaker have any comment on this?

 

I bought a Seiko SKX 173 some time ago on a whim. Found some issues with it like no back gasket and a movement that would quit running. But I liked the way it wears. I found that there is a new movement Seiko is putting in some of their new watches that addresses some deficiencies in the old 7S26. The NH36 has hand winding and hacking features. I have decided to put one of these in the old case.




I'll have to cut the stem to fit the new crown and swap the day wheel so it shows correctly at 4 o'clock.

 

A copy or fake of what? As it has no brand markings I would just assume that it is a no name chronograph from the late 40's early 50's.

 

As it relates to watchmaking, what is that pair of snips used for?

 

To trim the length of the new stem to 14.8mm.

 

Thank you. For such a precise profession, that seems pretty crude. Maybe there is hope for me yet.

 

In discussion right now with the powers that be..
It doesn't quite exist yet... but it may soon be mine.

 

Does that mean you're talking to Mrs Superdoc?
