OK, the only reason I wanted to start this thread is because I wanted to show an add I found on the web! But, if you have something you would like to share, please do!

 

Here is an add for a short-lived American watch company called Lancaster Watch Co (1877-1886).

 

I think it plays well today! Looks like it could also be a Vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle add as well!

I wonder why this product is no longer on the market?

 

I love the fine print! "Cleans anything that requires pin-point cleaning!" Really? Pin-point, from a can that SWOOSHES a 5cm pattern at a distance of 10cm!

 

Man! They could say anything back then and get away with it!

 

BTW, I just bought this cream that burns all of my belly fat away as I sit on the couch and watch TV!

Lol - yes exactly.

 

They should have said "Swoosh, I'ts clean instantly - then you can go and look for it"

I think these guys are still going - but this is from an October 1960 American Horologist and Jeweller magazine...

I just posted something about them over in another section. Not sure if its the same company as it is in a different state now.

Ditto!

 

 

I think the website (watchmandan.com) is blocking direct linking which is not unusual.

Damn - that's annoying - such good adverts as well.

 

Perhaps you can just link to the actual page they were on Will - they will most likely accept that :)

    • Regarding the spring winders, I made my own and used copper pipe reducers as the tubes to retain the spring. You will need to cut out a section for the end of the spring to protrude but if you watch one of the many videos on this subject that will make sense. You can find a selection of sizes on Ebay for very little cost. I'll attach a pic showing one of mine.  Good luck!
    • There were things bothering me about this discussion that took me a while to figure out the problem. In the image below it appears to be the spring may be pushing up? Normally when Omega has a spring pushing up the pinion has a pivot with a bridge to hold it in place so in other words the spring can push on something that stationary as opposed to this which appears to be floating? To understand the problem with the above image we need another image of side view which I have below. In my image down below on the left-hand side it agrees with the image up above. But the only problem is the left-hand side is defective and the right-hand side image is the way it's supposed to look. Then Omega if you can access the right documents does explain how and why this problem occurs. With the pinion floating around it might be assumed that you support it when putting on all the hands but you do not because as noted below if you do this small bush on the pinion will relocate out of position exactly what we see in the image up above.   Then Omega does not mention this but there is a possibility of also damaging the pinion and causing the bush to move to where it's not supposed to be when removing the hands.   
    • Maybe show us 1) the watch, 2) timegrapher readings in DU, DD, PU, and PD.
    • The timegrapher displays significant beat error variations in the dial-up position. When the watch is lying flat (face up), the beat error is much higher than in other positions. Beat error readings are inconsistent, with especially large gaps in the face-up position.  Please help !  
    • Looks like an open-access journal that runs as a glorified pre-print server with no true peer review, so it’s not easy to judge the veracity of the conclusions.
