The rest of the world can say what they like about us British, but no-one can top us when it comes to Royal Weddings and State Funerals. We are still the greatest when it comes to pomp.

A great send off for a great Queen who dedicated most of her life to her country.  She will be a hard act for King Charles to follow even if it will be only for a comparative short time compared to his mother.

He certainly wont fill her shoes or receive the same respect that she has had over the years. I'm not particularly a fan of our Charlie boy considering the way he treat his lovely first wife. I just hope he tries to continue in the same vien as his dear mother, its very clear though that he loved his mum deeply, the poor man looked shattered and quite broken today bless him.

It probably says more about me than anything else but I did have visions on the day she died of Charlie boy dancing around his room in his underpants with the crown on his head singing ding dong the queen is dead.

I bet he was thinking up til the day before that she was going to out live him and he would never get the big job.

Now we have William looking forward to his dad's demise and Catherine can be the first queen to have been photographed with her norks out.

Like the BBC normal service has resumed 😉

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      It's pronounced "bombay" like the city.  French for bomb is, 😄, bombe, pronounced the same as in English. Bombé, bombe.

      That's a really good idea! I have a 3d printer, I think I'll design something that I can clip on to the edge of my desk to do the same. Thanks for the idea.

      I looked up bombè, domed in French.  It's pronunciation is bomb, does a bomb (explosive device) get It's name from bombè? I know we're going off subject but it's interesting.

      Okay, I checked with the fine folks at the McCaw Company, and they agree it's the correct crystal, and they have one in stock, so with that sorted time to get onto assembly. Starting by getting the spring into the barrel, which was a bit harrowing. It took me several tries to get it hooked onto my worn old winder arbor, but I did find a new use for the micrometer stand I just purchased. Carefully dabbed some Kluber P125 braking grease to the left of the divots around the barrel, and a little HP1300 on the floor of the barrel before popping it in--in case you haven't seen it, this is a great illustration I found somewhere on this site. You're not the boss of me, Bulova.   2172_Bulova 11AOAC 11AOACD 11AOACB.pdf Bulova_11 AOAC, D, B(1).pdf I got the train back in and it didn't seem as free as I'd like. Looks like the driving wheel with cannon pinion has zero end shake. That could explain the low amplitutde I started with. Now if you were me, would you push on the plate jewel or the bridge jewel? I've attached some extra pictures in case anyone sees something else I'm doing wrong here.
