Since I joined this forum I've moved half a dozen times. Each time I have to fit what I have to work on watches and whatever little space that's available. This time I'm in the smallest place yet (460sqft.) but have the perfect little niche in the corner for all of my watch making tools, supplies, books, Etc. All that and a South facing window plus, I can keep an eye on my beloved car that sits right in front of that window

The best way is to use a clock brooch.

Do you think this will do?

WIll this watch be worth it? Well if you really like the watch design and how it looks, then by all means go for it. If you are focusing on the 'Swiss Army' brand and hoping to recover your costs later by selling it then don't bother. This is basically a fashion brand and the quartz movements are usually less that 50Euro. This is the high side, it can be as low as 15Eur. While Swiss Army mechanical watches usually have a decent movement, you are just paying a premium for the brand. I'm not sure is Swiss Army is an actually copyrighted brand for the pocket knives as the maker is Victorinox (and also Wenger). Anilv

Here we go with part 2. Now it's easy to note, that I'm not a professional as the cleaning equipment is only... ehm... semi-professional. Special treatment for the balance and the pallet fork. The equipment for oiling and grease. Inserting the new mainspring. Reassembling the train bridge. Surprise: Much easier than on other watches, the parts fall into correct positions by themselves. Nice. Barrel bridge and ratchet system. The keyless works. Assembling and oiling the Pallet fork. The return of the balance. A drop of oil for the balance and escape wheel stones. Winding up and...it runs! Oops, some adjustment needed. Better. Reassembling the automatic device. Inserting the screws for movement and dial. Time for the cannon pinion and the hour wheel. Bringing back dial and hands (oh, I love those Maxi dials). Back in the case... ...and completed with the automatic device. Some grease for the gasket. Got it. It's called a wrist watch, so it's for the wrist not for the safe.

I recently acquired this Bell & Ross BR03 - 92 Aviation watch that I had been wanting to get this year . This one came with a signed Bell and Ross stainless bracelet . I really hadn't seen any of this model with a Stainless Steel bracelet before . I installed a silicone rubber B & R strap until I get one of the leather straps . It's the 42mm model and I believe they have a 46mm version . It has a bright blue lume that is very easily read owing to the large uncluttered dial .

Nice watch if a little on the large side for my taste. I do have another problem with it too. A mysterious screw in the middle of the back with a label that says "do not unscrew" would be too much for me to resist. It's like having a big red button that says "do not press"... you just have to to see what happens!!
