A Nice Roamer For My Collection.


Geo

Recommended Posts

It arrived this morning all the way from Australia. Probably one of my best buys , the general condition is excellent and it is fitted with a new strap and all for £21. It's currently on my wrist and running well, I'll put it on the timegrapher later and see what the graph looks like.

Wowo Geo that is a good one! That is really , really nice. Now what is the detail of the hands? it looks like they are blunted or maybe they terminate in twin peaks?!? Simple beautiful. The red-tipped sweep seconds is fantastic. All I would suggest os to change the crystal--there's a small crack at 9. Finally,how does it run? Tha movement looks like a breeze to work on too!  Looks like the the complete package. By the way...what is the size?

Thanks for the comments guys, I really think I landed lucky with this one. i was almost put off buying it because of the low "Buy it now" price with the option to make an offer! You know what they say about "Looking too good to be true" ! Another thing that bothered me at first glance, I thought it was an auto with the winding parts removed, and having read Anil's post you can see why. I decided to buy it anyway because didn't have Roamer in my collection and at that price it would still have been a good deal for the spare parts.

Regarding your questions Joe, Will has confirmed calibre and size, the crystal is in perfect condition and the watch is keeping +40 seconds a day on my wrist. I have yet to check it on my timegrapher.

I also meant to say that the movement hacks when stating the time!

I have been wearing the watch since I got it, and it was found it was gaining 35 seconds a day. Tonight I used my Timegrapher to check it and got confirmation +35 seconds with a beat error of 5ms. Apart from that the graph looked quite good. I made a couple of adjustments and I'm well pleased with the result.

    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
