Never mind, the cigar is something I won't miss.

These new fangled electric things are all the same to me anyway..... black magic!!!!! :devil:

It's 45years old! Hardly new fangled! ;-) It really does hum!! It's in really good nic, the bracelet is signed omega but almost looks too good! It has the feel of a brand new watch!

It's a lovely watch Yogi. :) I don't care what Marc says (where's the sticky out tongue smiley when you need one?)

 

:P to you too Geo  :D

 

Actually I have absolutely nothing against these or any other of the transitional technologies between mechanical and quartz (nothing against quartz either), it's just that I have very little experience of them; and that is a very nice watch Yogi.

 

I do have a non-working Accutron sat in my projects box waiting for me to pluck up the courage to have a go but I need to source a replacement component coil first, I got as far as testing that with a meter.

I also need to work out how I can test the functionality of the rest of the electronics without having to fork out a mint on new tools that will only get used once in a blue moon. I do have an old oscilloscope (CRO) and was wondering if that could be of any use in diagnosing problems in watch electronics so if anyone can shed any light I am all ears.

You can tell by the lugs - just showing in the picture - that it's a cone casing, as opposed to the more conventional lug casing. I've never been turned on by the cone case when I've seen pictures of it off the wrist - but I have to say it looks good on the wrist.

 

Should anyone want to indulge in a hummer, there's a very friendly chap in Brighton - Paul - just down the road from me, who is the man behind the Electric Watches Company:

 

http://electric-watches.co.uk/

 

He has drawer after drawer of the little hummers - Hamiltons, Bulovas, Wittnauers - some of them for sale at reasonable prices. What he doesn't know about them isn't worth knowing. Super guy - worth checking out if you need a service or a s/h hummer.

He's an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guy. I saw his collection of stuff and his workshop at his house recently. He's also the chappie who sold me the ESA/ETA movement technical sheets that I've been scanning and adding to Mark's movement database.

      This is not rare at all, the dial code and case code don't usually match.

      Interesting issue that I just noticed: this Seiko 5actus Watch from 1977 has a calibre listing on the dial of 7019-8030R but on the case back it says 7019-8010!! Like a mis-printed coin, is this watch therefore worth a lot of money for its rarity?? 🤪😲🤔🤪

      I wish that was the case. The Aegler movements used in the early days by Wilsdorf & Davis (for brands like Rolex and Rolco) came in several sizes and without designated calibre numbers that survive.  They become a bit easier to identify during the 1920s. Below is an Aegler-Rebberg, 25.74mm in diameter. It’s from a woman’s Rolex wristwatch. Stamped Rebberg and 500 on the dial plate (but it isn’t a Rebberg 500, it’s the wrong size).  I’d be interested if anyone can identify the movement.  It is based off the Aegler Nr.1, circa 1903, but they based many many calibres of different sizes on it. The closest I have to a positive ID is the  ‘Rolex Nr.50’ circa 1917, but no dial side images or movement sizes are available in the references. There are identical looking movements in many sizes.  The 25.74mm of this movement is a particularly strange size for the era, it equates to 11.41 lignes.      Best Regards, Mark

      FHF70 balance jewels settings

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      It looks like this movement comes with a number of different shock settings. Emmywatch shows that it comes in versions with no shock settings, 'Incabloc', 'shock resist', and 'Supershock'. Perhaps the different settings position the impulse jewel/roller table in a non-ideal position relative to the pallet fork/guard pin. Are you able to check under high magnification if the pallet fork and roller table are able to operate without any interference? Just for fun I took a look and I have one FHF 70 in my collection, a West End Secundus with a non-shock protected FHF70. I had a note with the watch that said, "Movement is stamped 'FHF 70', but the FHF70 looks to have sub-seconds instead of center seconds movement (??)" but that a google search turned up both types for this movement. EDIT: I just took a look in my parts drawer and I have a few of these movements, both in center seconds and sweep seconds, but they all are non-shock protected.
