These are the antiques.

Top left is my 1883 Elgin model #1 in its Keystone case.

Top right is my little 1897 Waltham model #1891 "Seaside", also in a Keystone case.

Center is the (circa 1942) Public Watch Co. "Louis XIV" alarm pocket watch.

Lower left is my 1888 Hampden in its Dueber case.

And lower right is my 1919 Longines 18.50 calibre.

The pictures don't show as well as I'd like, but I'm checking them with my phone, so that may be part of it. All run, and I wear each one off and on.

I didn't like how the above pictures came out and thought it might be better to post a pic of each individually in the same order. 

1) Elgin, 2) Waltham, 3) PWC "Louis XIV" alarm, 4) Hampden, 5) Longines

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      It's pronounced "bombay" like the city.  French for bomb is, 😄, bombe, pronounced the same as in English. Bombé, bombe.

      That's a really good idea! I have a 3d printer, I think I'll design something that I can clip on to the edge of my desk to do the same. Thanks for the idea.

      I looked up bombè, domed in French.  It's pronunciation is bomb, does a bomb (explosive device) get It's name from bombè? I know we're going off subject but it's interesting.

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Okay, I checked with the fine folks at the McCaw Company, and they agree it's the correct crystal, and they have one in stock, so with that sorted time to get onto assembly. Starting by getting the spring into the barrel, which was a bit harrowing. It took me several tries to get it hooked onto my worn old winder arbor, but I did find a new use for the micrometer stand I just purchased. Carefully dabbed some Kluber P125 braking grease to the left of the divots around the barrel, and a little HP1300 on the floor of the barrel before popping it in--in case you haven't seen it, this is a great illustration I found somewhere on this site. You're not the boss of me, Bulova.   2172_Bulova 11AOAC 11AOACD 11AOACB.pdf Bulova_11 AOAC, D, B(1).pdf I got the train back in and it didn't seem as free as I'd like. Looks like the driving wheel with cannon pinion has zero end shake. That could explain the low amplitutde I started with. Now if you were me, would you push on the plate jewel or the bridge jewel? I've attached some extra pictures in case anyone sees something else I'm doing wrong here.

      What is it about this watch that speaks to me?

      By Razz · Posted

      I have quite a few watch brands from all over the world. For some reason this Timex electric from 1979 is capturing my attention this week. I am not a particularly fond of battery operated watches or Timex, but this one is different for some reason. Post your watch in your collection that seems to draw you in more now than before...
