It's really strange but some people were getting confused and thinking member names were actually the title. So I removed the member title and put the member name there instead. 

But you are still a distinguished member Geo - don't worry, I have an idea :)

That's it Geo, you can now look forward to smelly trousers, selective hearing, telling everyone how good things used to be, whinging & repeating part of the last sentence that the other person has just said.

 

.............just said. Yes.

I looked up Swiss Emperor and came up with:- A VERY CLEAN WATCH EARLY MANUEL WIND SWISS MADE. .... SWISS EMPEROR STEEL WATCH AND NON SIGNED BRACELET, HANDS ARE ...

So not only is it a posh watch Will, it also comes with a Spanish guy to wind it for you.

Cheers,

Vic

You will just have to settle for Big Benjamin, now that's what I call a big clock. Myself, I am trying to remember some of the little watches, I think they used to call them cocktale watches.

Cheers,

Vic

      Obscure units of measurement

      Yes they all used to chop marks but this guy was so over the top and passionate about it that it still stands out in my memory so vividly.

      Obscure units of measurement

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      On a different post we were discussing units of measurements. Not wanting to highjack the post, I  thought we could discuss here.  What is the origin of Dennison's. @Waggyonly one lecturer insisting on units of measurement, all mine did.

      I used to have a lecturer during my Engineering classes who was always beating a drum about quoting units, I remember one day he was so exasperated with our class he said "quote your units!!!!...I don't care what units JUST QUOTE THEM!!!" My next assignment I calculated the velocity and quoted the units, something along the lines of: "Thus the velocity of the body will be 0.00345 furlongs per fortnight" He graded my work as an F, then crossed it out and gave me an A+, turns out he had a sense of humor after all.

      Cleaning solution clarification

      Just to add to what @Neverenoughwatches says, the impulse jewel on the balance wheel is also held in by shellac, so avoid exposing the assembly to IPA as well - as stated the one-dip and generic tetrachloroethylene equivalent is safe with shellac so you can use this for your pallet fork and balance assembly. I agree, but worth noting that IPA readily soaks up water, even from the atmosphere: "IPA exposed to the air will absorb moisture rapidly until it reaches an equilibrium value of 65% IPA to 35% water." So you need to refresh it regularly.
