Late night change... Time for some Magie Noir. The yellow + black combo is just fantastic in the sunset! Poor lightning conditions inside the house...
You know, I love omega forums. But every time someone posts after I do, I get a damn phone notification and email. Even when I turn off my subscription - posting begins it again and resubscribes me.
Today I received this very special chronograph with quite a few scales. This is a Datzward 20 Atmos with a Valjoux cal. 92 movement. I love the small silver registers and the metallic red needles. Cheers, Mick
stuck this on yesterday while I was plastering a wall ('cause it washes up well if I get it grungy) seems to have stuck around for another day....
Still double dogging it today with the two machines pictured below on their original black leather bands...and I decided to give it the old college try regarding the @dialstatic translucent plastic light box trick...
Giving this a test run today. Found it in a box of watch junk I got a couple of years ago. Completely dead, choked with mud and corrosion, no strap, movement/battery corroded and dead as a dodo. It's probably only worth about $5 but I just had to rescue it, so out with the movement for a case clean. Pushers were removed and de-crudded, re-lubed and re-installed. Putting on the tiny C clips was very intense (but I didn't lose any this time). The movement was stripped, cleaned, all contacts scrubbed and a brand new battery went in and now it's a goer. The digital calendar only goes up to 2010 so have to cheat on the year to get the right day/date combo and now I have to figure out how to sync the tide readings to local time (any surfers ever use one of these?). Now on a NATO for occasional wear at the beach.
