I thought 2012 resolution was less boats?
BTW since you spent Submariner money buying a new gearbox for the Dosia, feel free to post a picture of the new trans in the WRUW thread in lieu of Rolex Steel.

Going with the '59 reference 2943 caliber 504 on Saturday:
I recently took this in trade. It certainly shows its age and heavy usage. But what the previous owner didn't tell me is that it runs +3 minutes per day (he said it runs off a couple minutes in a few weeks - yeh, I wish). So it's a beater for Saturday projects and chores around the house for now. Maybe one day I'll get it fixed up.

Wow, that's really nice.

Mike, I have a watchmaker that can spruce that up much cheaper, with as good quality work, as the factory can. Shoot me a PM or e-mail if/when you're ready.
Do you use tangs on all of yours or have you tried the Omega OEM deployant? I absolutely love mine, looks excellent on leather straps.
