It’s still double dog Seiko Saturday with the beloved 6309-7049 and reissue SRP777K1...at the gym...giving it the old college try with the new “stretchy jeans” [Levi’s 511s]...super dooper technology in my humble opinion.
Got my UK Ed White back from the spa — it didn’t even need a service. But I put a proper A1 crown on it (thank you @omegastar !). I’ve also put it on an 1125 bracelet (thank you @Toishome !). Bad news is the Istanbul Ed White has a broken hammer spring (infamous part 1734). Now on the look out for more Omega unobtainium. Ah well... win some and lose some. One thing not in doubt: I am indebted to OF and its members. EDIT: ordered two 1734s from these guys, found from another OF thread! https://ernst-westphal.de/en/ Even unobtainium can be obtained with OF’s help!
We were there in 2008. We were supposed to go on a boat sight seeing trip that day. Missed out because the boat was out of commission. Drat! Loved the Lakes District!
