I was initially prompted to join the forum with a specific watch question but noting the breadth of discussions here, I look forward to reading and participating.  I have a very eclectic collection of wrist watches from eras between 20s and 70s and have an affinity to the 1920s and 1930s and recently with vintage Seiko.

Cheers, Patrick

Welcome aboard Patrick. Related to your passion for 20's and 30's watches, I'm currently on the hunt for a square, rectangle, cushion, barrel or tonneau  shaped watch from that exact time period up to the early 50's. I have my eye on a couple specific models that I find very appealing. Anyways, great to have ya!

Thanks for the welcomes all. I post a lot of my collection on IG @inatimewatches should any be on that platform. I’ll post here over time. I was introduced to vintage collecting when my wife bought my first watch, this 1933 Hamilton Putnam.

That's nearly identical to the one I'm getting. Very classy!:wub:

I chose a Westfield with a Bulova movement, late 30s to mid 40s, I think.

    • I'm not convinced it is a chronometer, just because it says so on the dial.  I think the two springs was a misunderstanding. 
    • I would cut my losses, keep it for parts. Buying a balance complete would be a Sunk cost fallacy. 
    • I recall a video on YT from Steffen Pahlow where he talks about getting himself a Chronometre (for which he paid more than he would have liked), but in his words "I had to. It is a Chronometre." I am wondering if you have more watch there than what you are aware of? Especially with what @Neverenoughwatches mentioned about two springs.
    • If you are having counter tops ( i think thats the amercan term ) and some cupboards underneath where you dont require working legroom then that corner doesn't have to be a difficult access void. Lazy susans , we ( kitchen fitters ) call them cabinet carousels or you could just have two adjacent doors with a corner post fixed to one of them, though it does make for a long reach to get to the very corner. But a carousel is a good access solution, also there are sliding steel baskets available but these are bloody expensive and typically problematic, i really think they are a crap idea. What i like about fully fitted worktops, very tidy looking, no loss of space, and sidewards pinged parts are hopefully going to stay worktop side and not end up crunched on the floor.
    • Aren't corners of rooms a bugger though as it is really difficult to use the space underneath the intersection of the two benchtops. Lazy Susans are an idea I suppose. Somewhere to be able to put tools/soldering iron/testing machines that aren't needed on the bench top all the time. It is a bit tight in there, but at least I won't have to move great distances to get to another area. I need to get hold of another chair to have at the cleaning bench. I'll stand all the time at the lathe and I already have the stool for the workbench. Need to get the power sorted now and move the LED lights for over the workbench. There are four downlight in the ceiling that are currently halogen bulbs. Really quite bright so that's good. Ceiling fan as well. What else could one hope for?
