OK, that's enough of the puerile jokes. Having had this brand pointed out to me by LouS, I had to get one just so that I could post just such a puerile thread title. Eschewing the temptatinon of spending over £2,000 to get a really old one with a genuine Auguste Raymond movement and not wanting another Landeron 48/148/248, I finally settled on this one: Looking past the completely scratched mineral glass and the disgusting brown crystal gasket, I'm really quite pleased with it - even more pleased when you see what is powering it: It's a Lemania 1873 (think Omega 860/861. The jewel holes are completely gunged up with dried up oil and the keyless works are seriously stiff (presumably gunged up as well) but for £300, I get to service this classic movement. If Al sees this, do you know if I can swap the plastic (nylon, I presume) blocking lever with one from an 860 or will I need to change the yoke and possibly the spring as well if, indeed it is possible at all?
Oh, so that is all you think about, Ts and As...Tissot and A. Lange...Tags and Alpinas...What is this forum coming to!!?
