@nothingman Nice to see your photos, specially from the service. Nice piece you got.

I also like the indices and second markers. There seem to be quite a variety of indices.

Isn't it about time you sold that old thing and bought a new knife?

Well, I reckon I could cover the cost of one of them, and you'd have a few bucks left over for an extra belt or two.

It has to turn. If not, watch is in need of a service.
Mine too was hard to turn before servicing, now it's ok.
Nice watch though, my ref. 8445 says hallo 😀

Thank you so much. I really like this watch ,but
I'm not sure if some of the gears are damaged. I just think about it ,or should I return it.

Always buy a vintage watch factoring in a service.
Get it serviced

Nice watches…Mine below

Hello,

Can I ask how does the holder ring is attached. I bought one on eBay, opened it up and now I cannot put it back. Really, I have no clue, the holder ring is so loose, there were no screws, I see yours also has no screws. Can you help?
