This Will Make You Laugh

So sorry to hear about losing your watch. For my 11th birthday, my father gave me my first wristwatch. It was a Timex with a black dial with luminous hands and a sub secondhand. I really liked that watch. We had stayed in a hotel and I placed my watch on a window sill because I wanted the hands to get sunlight and glow. It was only after we had gotten home the next day that I remembered that I had left the watch. I was so afraid to tell my father that I lost the watch. I think that is what started me on my love of watches. I only wish I could fine another watch like the one I lost.

Hope you did a pointy dance like in Saturday Night Fever. 

 

PS was it the Blue Oyster Bar, loads of guys with moustaches leather vests and trousers, some may have been wearing Native American head wear or white safety helmets or Stetsons - always a fun night :cool:

 

If its embarrassing photo's we are sharing - unfortunately I am wearing the stetson

Out of interest here is what we got paid for 3 sets (yes we actually got paid) starting at 7.30pm and we usually got the van loaded up by 12.00pm and made our way home.  The guy with the hair is Colin Cole (Keyboards), lovely bloke and classically trained.  We did the clubs for about 5 years and even backed up the strippers.

    • Hi everyone on my timegrapher it showing this do a make anymore adjustment someone let me know ?    
    • Maybe I'm over simplifying this and I'm a little late to the discussion, but just by my looking at oil when I use it on a treated cap jewel  the oil stays in one nice bubble, but when I don't it spreads out to the edges of the jewel. I'm not sure (but could well be wrong) but the analogy of a waxed car and rain is accurate in this case, the wax is very hydrophobic and repels the water, however, the process epilame works by is a different physical process based upon cohesion/adhesion (oleophilic) not repulsion (oleophobic)  at least as far as I have read/observed. If one were to use a oleophobic substance equivalent to wax (hydrophobic) then one would need to create a donut shape to fence in the oil, however if one used such a strategy with a epilame which is oleophilic then the oil would sit on the ring of the donut and not in the 'donut hole', exactly where you don't want it. Even if the oil is smeared then the oleophilic epilame should pull it back to the center (see diagram below). Reference
    • Looks lint the teeth on the hour wheel aren't meshing with the teeth on the calendar intermediate wheel, maybe the hour wheel is sitting on top of this instead of meshing?        
    • If the oil drop was freely standing on an epilame treated cap jewel it could easily slide off if you knocked the watch hard but the balance pivot keeps it in place. 
    • Latest 404 is this Baron which has a copy of a Seiko 66B movement in it, handy when I needed to find a replacement setting lever. Apart from the setting lever, crown, stem and new crystal (original was cracked) the watch is original. Finished result:
