Definitely a Black Friday ipad, it is black...normally blue and even white the rest of the days!

 

and yes, apparently it is a new US designation for a Friday, once a year, involving some sort of a ritual in which it is required to sleep at the doorsteps of businesses the night before and push and fight your way to the counter to buy an item typically on sale that will have the same price 2 weeks afterwards! Sometimes it is televised.

We use to have the January sales when lunatics people would start queuing outside Harrods before Xmas to save a couple of bob. These days most gaffs just have sales all of the time as the customers were getting confused with vagrants.

      His reply seems quite honest and fair. Whats his feedback like ?, i tend to buy into the seller more than into the sale. Though i do take risks occasionally if i have a gut feeling  i can do ok. Missing and damaged stem can be a red flag but can also mean something quite innocent such as a stem release/set lever screw has come loose and the stem has fallen out and been lost over time. Missing crowns can be less of a problem.  One of first things we do when receiving a watch is to try the wind and set functions and rotate the watch back and forth to see if the secondhand starts up. These are good internal indicators that you may get away with only a service to carry out. Things i personally usually avoid are damaged fancy shaped crystals , heavy case damage, watches with certain damaged/ missing internal parts( parts that can't be self maufactured by the average repairer )The idea is to build up a good stock of commonly comsumable parts, this would be, crystals, balance staffs, watch stems and crowns, springs ( setting and shock ) , watch jewels inc. Caps, impulse and pallet stones, timing washers, all kind of screws.  Those are mostly at beyond a beginner level requirement .

      We do need more photos but the spacer does seem to be behind the lip.

      Cant tell if its a lip or a section of thread. If it is lip, then i can only think that the slotted ring is spacer for the armoured crystal to push up to. There isn't much info out there about www crystals. Generally they are popped off with air compression of a sealed case.

      I was thinking that may be a thread. Would need more hotos to confirmM maybe @B1N9S can tell us whether that 'lip' goes all the way around or whether it tapers off like a thread?
