Discussing with the good lady this evening which watch/watches should be next for the sales and she comes away with "what about that little thing you are wearing" Sadly I doubt we will ever agree, perhaps if I pour her another glass of wine or two I can win her round
Finally got the "new" case for the CPR Waltham today. So..... 1) first we scrap out the 1894ish movement and clean up the case (the old movement? hey, the balance is shot and some pieces have already been looted.... its dead) 2) mount the model 1892 CPR movement (made about 1914) and make sure it winds and sets smoothly.... 3) wind her up, set the time and sit back and listen to it tick...... $40 well spent! more bits for the parts bin.....
Actually working today. But this one makes it a bit easier to deal with work. Need to get Photoshop to add in a lollipop second hand.
