As they say, just back from spa (I say just back from RGM). Shipped Monday, arrived today. It looks like the watchmaker tuned this up nicely. Right next to spot on in my book. I also asked for 4 sets of spring bars (which I expected to pay for). They threw them in, which is a very friendly touch:
Taking a shift keeping the kids occupied. Getting them out of the house for a while to ride scooters in an empty parking lot. Options are limited these days, but fortunately my boys are easy to please.
And a 145.012 that is also seeing some light. I have 4 of these, and the lum aged almost identically on all, but on the 3 ‘68 transitional models the lum is just slightly darker. Any other lum observations on this from owners? And I know the sweep hand is a service part. I’ll swap it when it matters to me. In 10 or 15 yrs it has yet to matter.
