Have been on a moritorium from buying watches for the last year+. Thanks to @rendo infecting me with diver madness, i broke that this week.
The photos were crap, bracelet was described as “broken” (missing spring bar) crystal cracked and sold as-is. I sent a low ball offer and got it. But even with the crappy pics showing only a couple links and no clasp shot, I knew exactly what the bracelet was which is why I bought it.

Bracelet is full length (2 links in the clasp and still loose on my 7.5” wrist) which is rarely ever the case with these JBC’s.
Even though I had planned to pull the bracelet and put the watch in the parts bin, it cleaned up beautifully and is keeping perfect time. I may just hunt down a crystal for it. Anyone got a 1389AW burning a hole in their parts bins?
Nice! I love it when it arrives in better condition than the photos.

My beloved 145.022-69 is getting a bit of wrist love, this time mounted on a superb Volanato Rally Strap from Watchstrapheaven. Jan is really deserving all the praise coming his way.

Two Accutrons today, one on each wrist. The Accutron Railroader 214 because it is Railway Days at our local historic park, next week end. The Accutron Spaceview 214, just because.

Welll…it was as nasty as in the photos. Nothing a little Dawn, Naptha and Tom’s of Maine couldn’t clean up.

Gotta say the titanium CW Bel Canto has proven to be really enjoyable on the wrist even after 4 months.


I got to try this on last year at Wind Up Watch Fair NY. It's a very cool piece and very light since it's titanium. The only negatives for me is that it's too big for my wrist and it's too hard to read the time. Otherwise, it's very well priced for what it does.
