By the dawn's early light. Been up all night for work unfortunately and watched the sun rise. I’ve really been enjoying this one the past few days since I wound it up. It usually sits quietly in the box and doesn’t get any wrist time. Even now, I only wear it inside the house. I was starting to think I could sell it to fund something else but back to wondering if I could ever let it go. Would never be able to replace it once it’s gone.
I’m the second owner of this Accutron. I sold it to the first owner in 1969, when I worked for a Bulova dealer. In about 2005 or so, shortly before he passed away, he gave it to me as he had no family to leave it to. I put a new cell into it about ten days ago, and posted a picture in the WRUW thread. Shortly after that, the accuracy went to H _ _ L. The watch had not been serviced for probably 25 years or so, and the movement looks awfully forlorn. So I serviced it Monday of this week. Back into service today. The gold filled case is showing the typical corrosion, so I don’t wear it often. I’ve always liked this model.
Trying out an Uncle Seiko for Pogue gifted to me by @Charlie3755 . Their version of a President they call Lincoln. Good fit. Looks and feels good. Thanks Mark!...YaY!
