It might refer to these guys -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewsbury_Rams

From 1875 to 1877 they were known as the Dewsbury Athletic and Football Club.

"1881 saw the club's first success in the Yorkshire Challenge Cup beating Huddersfield, Bradford and Halifax before an Alfred Newsome drop goal gave them victory over Wakefield Trinity in the final. "

A very interesting watch. I'm sure if you contact the club, they will probably have records from that time.

interesting that at one point the owner of this watch ( my watchmaker friend) did contact the club.  He asked if they would be interesting in purchasing it.  They replied with a "no".

Hello, possibly a late reply but hopefully of interest. 

This is a "handsome time timepiece or silver centre second watch" to quote the newspaper report of the time, presented to the winners of the Yorkshire Football Challenge Cup - better known as the Yorkshire Cup Rugby Union competition, won by Dewsbury in 1881.  All the players were presented with one, which came with "solid silver guards and medals attached." 

To correct a common error made in the thread. The modern day Dewsbury Rams are not the same club as this Dewsbury - technically Dewsbury  Athletic and Football Club. They are two seperate entities, the club now called the Rams formed, more or less, to join the Northern Union, now the Rugby League, after the members of the DAFC voted against such a move.

Hi Albert, I would be interested in seeing a photo of this if you still have it. I am trying to catalogue all medals etc for the Yorkshire Challenge Cup. 

Thank you.

      For me any input from Mark would be great. If he's keeping a close eye i would imagine he has read about our concerns here. But specifically i would like to know if he is ok with us collecting each others contact information for those of us that wish to provide them.

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By swiss2k · Posted

      Thank you!   Yes I did. I did not notice a difference. Although 9415 is advertised as a thixotropic grease (and I did had high hopes for it), the only advantage at this point I see is that its “easier” to apply than an oil (if one does not use epilame). But this is subjective, I guess. What I did notice though, if you apply a bit too much grease, that definitely slows down the movement. Oil in this case is a bit more forgiving, as its super thin, and it would usually just spread out.  Again, imho.

      Mark keeps a close eye on his forum. I'm sure if you asked him he will reply, he might not do it right away but you will receive his answer.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I kind of think the same, the surface under the oil is the same as the surface around the oil. Can epilame both repel and attract , that doesn't quite make sense in simple terms, but is it more complicated than that. When cohesive forces within a liquid are stronger than the adhesive forces of a surface then surface tension is high causing the liquid to bead up. So  an applied epilame coating reduces the adhesive force of a surface inhibiting a fluid to wet the surface. So i guess no epilame cannot both repel and attract . If something is keeping the oil in place on top of an epilamed surface then there must be another reason for that.
