You guys must have been living sheltered lives …. this was the one that always drew my eye …

Is that Amanda Lear?
I know she was on their other album cover with the puma.

Just returned from a servicing. When I bought it from a private seller here on OF he advertised it as "runs perfectly, as expected."

That turned out to be over 3 minutes fast when I got it, with him saying that's good for a watch this age. Lol!

Now I'm no expert but it runs 12 seconds fast, dial up - that's much closer to "runs perfect." In my opinion at least.

Great improvement, also has a heart of a lion with that amplitude. Enjoy it for many years to come.

Thank you. I didn't check to see what the lift angle should be so the amplitude and best error might not be accurate.

April 18th is National Pocket Watch Day! So, a rather rakish 1906 vintage Elgin Veritas with its three fingered bridge movement is serving.

A smart black leather DaveK Mystery Braid lanyard secures the watch in the jeans watch pocket.

National Pocket Watch Day? Good idea, but by whose decree? I’m involved in a watch & clock appraisal clinic at our local historic park on Saturday. And it was time to decide which pocket watch I would carry. Hmmmmmm! This one! My Hamilton grade 941 which is the hunter cased version of the venerable grade 940, a popular railroad standard pocket watch. I’ll wear it on my late maternal grandfather’s 9-karat Waldemar chain with an 1897 English half-sovereign coin and 14-karat gold pocket knife. I’ll wear it Good Friday (today) on my @DaveK leather mystery braid lanyard.

By the way, I found out that National Watch Day is slated for Thursday, June 19, 2025. Mark it on your calendars.
