Longbow
·Grandpa’s Tissot Visodate Seastar Seven today. A monoblock cased caliber 784-1, post major overhaul as it was in need of much TLC, which it has deservedly received due to: surface corrosion pretty much everywhere on the movement, corroded balance cock, broken arbor and something that I haven’t yet been able to adequately translate “kaum Zeigerreibung” which seems to be something to to do with the way the hands are driven (via friction?), which would explain the pre-service arbitrary relationship between hour and minutes hands I guess. Anyway, all is now good thanks to Meister A. Lalla Uhrmachermeister in Hamburg.
