Went to my local jeweler to ask about repairing a case and this guy followed me home. I couldn't resist the iridescent dial and cool 70s shape.

1975 (my birth year!) DX. Time sets, day and date quickset properly, and it runs after giving it a few spins. Seems like $25 well spent!

I also love the inscription on the back.

I even found it in the 1975 Seiko USA catalog.

Haha- there's maybe no winning with that one- best answer is she got him a new watch and rid of the wedding watch?, second best-they separated. Let's not go to third- haha

      Blew it with a coil

      [Myota2034] Custom simple quartz watch — PricewaterhouseCoopers On a very very different note, here is a watch from approximately 2000 when I was a Partner with PwC, Management Consulting. It was a simple “marketing watch” with a clever “vase of knowledge” that is subtly revealed on the dial as the second hand progresses. Clever for a simple watch!⌚️

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think someone else has though. Some where here using a modified perspex sheet. I may be wrong i may be right , i think it involved fitting the arbor to a pin vice. I dont have experience of the bergeon winders, are the handles not interchangeable ?

      Dial Dots

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Never tried dial dots, i always considered them as a bit of a bodge.  You are adding something that was never intended to be there. I wonder how the adhesive reacts to any part of the movement, hot summer heat and i think things might turn sticky. Most adhesive backed stuff has a tendency to soften and slide around so it may spread, i have used a lot of so called sticks all adhesives in my industry that are just not up to the job. I suppose they get you out of a problem quickly, but how permanently might that be ? I would just explain to the owner that it may or may not work. WWs other ideas are a much more permanent solution but both have their risks . I've tried milling and dial feet replacements, hmm it was ok, ive heard of folk dimpling the face , so that needs care . And i have soldered a few times , all with good results but i am very careful and I practiced it a lot.
