Well, when you put Jaeger and UG (Martel) and rose gold and two registers together, how the hell am I supposed to resist? Will post more in the UG section.

I concur about buying things two at a time. Just did this:

There's something I can't resist about crummy photos from Spain.

I think they're going to clean up nicely. Here's the black one after a little TLC. Haven't wound it, but it's running with a little shake. Original crown and crystal, and never polished much if at all. Can't get the back off with the rubber ball, and something seems loose inside, so off to a professional.

Now... my kingdom for a GF 'UC' end piece.

Got this from a thrift store today, a Tissot Visodate Seastar T12:



Needs a restoration of the brushed finish and a new crystal, but all in all not a bad find for less than $10 馃榾

Mines a blue one that's away with archer.... looking forward to getting it back. It's got the most noticeable rotor in it out of all my watches when you swirl it off the wrist - is yours the same? Love them.... you and I seem to have a few very similar watches....

Nice blue dial, and yes the rotor is noticeable, a lot like my former Speedmaster triple-date. Had to take it off to check it out as I hadn't noticed it before you mentioned it. We do have a few similar watches, like I said to Nick above, great minds think alike.馃槈

I couldn't pass up this JLC. The seller assured me that the photos (as I charitably refer to them馃槻 ) didn't do it justice. And he had tried, but just couldn't take any better ones.

And as an added bonus it.... "Runs but then stops and I think it may have an alarm or something. Rattles some when I shake it, so something might be loose or broke."

In other words, NOS.

Sometimes you gotta roll the dice!




It arrived today. I tried to take some pics, but, you know, it's so hard to get a good photo.馃槣 Off to the Zaf spa it goes, proper photos in a few weeks.
