I’ve been working on a few Accutron 214 projects the last few days. This one is outfitted with a 214 movement from my array of scrap Accutrons. I conditioned it, dropped in a cell, and it started right up. No re-phasing required. I decide to make an Accutron Railrodaer out of it by fitting a 24-hour dial. While rummaging among my Accutron parts, I stumbled on a dual hour hand. These were handy for crews that regularly crossed a meridian of longitude on their trip. The watch gave them a choice of two time zones. So, another Accutron to my collection, but that creates a problem! I’m wearing 3 Accutrons and a Rolex, today!

I think we should start a " it's not a Swatch week " for this thread, here is my not a Swatch watch.

The thought started on the weekend when I went into a big brand jewellers/ watch shop looking for Omegas and they said that's ok all these other ones are made by Swatch any way, hmmm thought I, not exactly the same thing and whilst Omega is part of Swatch too it made me think of just wearing and or buying independent Swiss and other brands.
