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!

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.

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.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds,England.  Ask away. 
    • What cutter are you using can you video the action 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
