hi everyone, 

my name is todd.

i am new to this site but not new to horology.

i have been collecting wristwatches for many years.

recently i have been getting into American pocket watches,

this is the watch i wore today, one of my favorites.

an absolutely pristine Gruen Curvex, not a scratch or scuff. keeping great time.

i like to buy good looking non runners and service them.

staffs, mainsprings, etc. etc.

not an expert, just a hobbyist.

Hi Todd, the above describes me to a T.

It's good to have you aboard, and I look forward to your future input. :)

I nearly forgot, what a cracking watch, I like it!

Hello Todd,

Beautiful watch, I think you will slot in nicely to this forum there are a lot of fellow tinkerers ( not sure if that's a word but you know what I mean) here.

Cheers,

Vic

todays' watch.

my Bulova Computron drivers N6.

absolutely pristine, not a scratch or scuff, 

bought it as a non runner 10 years ago, pulled out a leaky battery, cleaned the contacts and it has run perfectly ever since.

i have a soft spot for well made early LED's.

Todd

Hello todd!

Damn I like that vintage led bulova! I also have a real softspot for these early led watches. I don't have

any "real" vintage one yet only a retro model from fossil, no pictures unfortunlately. I must get me one,

an omega 1601 TC2 time computer led from 1974 is ofcourse very high on the wish-list.. :lol:

thanks omega4sure, ,

it is very hard to find a good example of a Bulova Drivers watch.

they had so many high sides that brassing is a big problem.

and they were easy to scratch.

i ran into this perfect example by luck.

it must have sat in someones drawer for 30 years.

when i bought it it looked like it was made yesterday.

not a ding or scratch.

lucky me!

todd.
