I'm off for a '70s disco night tonight and wanted to wear something retro. Found this citizen digital watch in my box - never wore it until now. Had it since the early '90s

:D

I hope you've got the flares and the crimplene shirt with the big collars to go with it. A Zapata moustache helps as well... :D

 

This is what you might have looked like in 1969 (Holland Park in London):

Not this time - my wife was watching.

 

There was a guy at the bar who kept giving me strange looks though - I think it was the handlebar tash!

 

Seriously though - it was a brilliant night with such good music, but I lost the watch lol. Left it in the hotel room when we left - i'm such a dozy git!  :(

I'm glad you had a great evening, :)

I can't believe you left the watch behind. :( At least if it comes up on eBay you'll recognise it, there can't be many like that left in the world! ;)

My wife stays in that hotel on occasion - I think they will keep it safe for her to get when she is there in June :)

Actually just found a couple more in my box lol

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Right now I'm making do with a similar micrometer (the one below is $45 shipped but you can find better deals) and a $20 stand. You do have to be excruciatingly careful measuring jewels, since there's no table, but if you don't have the $500 to throw around, it's a nice option.

      As  I kid, I'd watch Godzilla stomping over buildings and cars and I'd think to myself: Tokyo is a really dangerous place to live... . Cool watch!!

      Next one up an AS 554, looks like a bit more to this one. First job is to check thickness, most springs are somewhere between .3 and .4, this one measures .35, that matches in with the .4 spring steel i ordered. So for marking up a permanent marker comes in handy to colour up the steel to be marked later with a scriber once its dry. Bestfit provide the extra bit of info for the jumper spring that is missing.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      Thanks again, Marc.  Super helpful. I was wondering what the hole was for, and now it makes perfect sense. With your help and the other members here, it looks like I'm good to go with my Seitz tool set. I had to order some replacement pushers, but with those, the set is complete and in good condition. Now, I need to figure out what tool to buy to measure jewels (amongst other watch-related parts). I had my eye on the JKA Feintaster micrometers, but people get crazy bidding on them for $400-600 USD. I was thinking of just a regular digital micrometer (Mitutoyo). Thoughts?  Mahalo. Frank

      Yep, that's exactly how it should fit. The reamer shank is tapered and the socket in the spindle is also tapered so that the one centers in the other and is gripped tightly. If there is any wobble when the reamer is seated as far it will go then there is a problem. The cross hole in the spindle is to allow you the push the reamer back out again. If the reamer seated much deeper then it would limit the access for pushing it back out again. Here is one of mine for comparison.
