I'm not one that celebrates Christmas in fact I hate it. For the many that love this time of year I wish you all a Happy Christmas & New Year. Lets hope for piece on Earth. 

I'm with you oldhippy, not a fan of xmas (which started as the winter solstice, before it was hijacked by the religious lot). But at least the days are getting longer. More daylight to enjoy the wind and rain 😀

Seasons greetings to all.

Merry Christmas, new toy to play with, what do you all get?

 

Mine hasn't arrived yet Waggy. Santa is running late.

You did send me one ? 🤣

 Christ teaches us humanity, I have always enjoyed celebrating Christmas along with my Christian friends, have many jeweish friends too.

 How Saadi defines humanity is in full agreement with teachings of Christ.  

A literal translation of Saadi's poetry

Human beings are members of a whole in creation of one essence and soul.

You who feel no pain at suffering of others , it is not fitting you be called human

Christmas is covered by blood this year.

Not a big fan of it either, loved it when my kids where little. Are we all humbugs ? Just another name for grumpy old men that sit in room by themselves surrounded by tools they barely use 😅. Thank you all and appreciate all the help , advice and knowledge that was gained from everybody this year. Every single one of you are absolute gems, dont let anyone tell you any different, Merry Xmas ❤️

Merry Christmas to all!

Glad to see some got watchmaking related gifts.  I got a watch storage box.  Much nicer than just tossing them all in a drawer.  I also got an Amazon gift card, which I will apply to maybe a Geiger counter, to check for radium, and a copy of Henry Fried's The Watch Repairer's Manual.

    • On the link that I posted, ne of the watches has no crown and another has an a crown that is not square to the case. Does a broken crown signify that the movement may be quite corroded, hence the stem has broken,  and does the bent crown simply signify that the stem is bent? Unfortunately as the seller has a bid on the items, he is now reticent to prise the casebacks off in case he damages something. The seller did reply with this email though. Hi again Michael - brief descriptions; Oris x 2, dials and hands ok and they set ok and one I just wound and it has been running for a few of minutes as I write this response. Rocar, dial ok no crown. No name dial no good and can't pull crown out to set. Roma dial and hands ok, I think it is pin pallet movement. Unicorn, good dial and hands and plexiglass ok for age. All cases and plexiglasses show wear except as mentioned. I have no idea what movements are fitted or condition so please if you do consider bidding, please do so accordingly as I don't like to disappoint my customers - regards and thanks again for your interest - Jim
    • The incomplete Vertex DD is a new project to sort out.  The Seiko gen 1, is my favourite watch to wear and is my daily.      
    • To be fair it was a beautiful 'bumper'.  But, there was some loose parts in the case.  Perhaps 'pig' was a bit excessive 😄.    
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • Hello and welcome to the forum.   Enjoy
