Falken Watches

Thank you for the nice welcome! It took a couple days to come up with some decent pix; my SDHC card reader that I use to get images from my camera went bad last month, and the brand-new replacement from eBay was a bust. Fortunately, my laptop has a card slot. Notwithstanding my personal electronic issues, here's some of my watches. This is my first post here so please excuse any glaring errors. B)

 

1. Four on the floor: Triwa Falken (2015), A|X 1214 (2014), Universal Studios Superman (90's), Frederique Constant Electro Luminescence (2000's?).

 

2. Triwa Falken: it had to be done.

 

3. A|X: a gift from sister.

 

4. Superman: due for cosmetic fixes. Will be asking question concerning this soon.

 

5. Constant with no light.

 

6. Constant with light (example). It stays on for one second then goes off; this image is from the seller's site. Will be asking question concerning this soon.

 

7. Submariner (1989, example). Mine was inherited from my uncle on his passing; the original is in a safe deposit box at Wells Fargo. This image is from the Net somewhere, but we all know what they look like and mine is a blue one.

 

8. Pulsar Executive (1975). This is an eBay snipe: used, VG condition.

    • Hi @HectorLooi duly noted, although strangely I never had a cough or coughed anything up  just couldn’t breath. Getting better now still on oxygen.
    • I've had a few like that as well, i have even added that bend in before thinking the regulating pins would track the hairspring better. Not really sure how different the timing would be with and without it . Yep see it Nev , a kind of shallow bend.
    • If I mess up oiling a cap jewel. I wipe it with Rodico, dunk it in some IPA and rub gently on some tissue paper. I usually don't need to reapply epilame.
    • OK, apologies - I'm not familiar with all the different styles yet. The flat ones in the watches I've worked in recently don't have kink like that.
    • I wish to share my experience with thyme tea with everyone. Six months ago when I had my second bout of Covid, my chest was so congested that breathing deeply hurt. Coughing was pure agony. And with a 40°C fever that comes back every 6 hours when the level of paracetamol in the blood falls, I was willing to try anything.  Then I saw this video on YouTube and I decided to give it try. I drank a cup of the stuff and went back to bed. When I woke up about an hour later, I coughed up a golf ball sized lump of greenish-yellow phlegm. And almost immediately, all symptoms suddenly abated. 24hrs later, I was feeling perfectly fine. I repeated an ART test and it was negative. I started recommending it to some of my friends and many of them found it useful, although some claimed it had no effect. I had another round of Covid last week. I tested positive on Thursday and although the symptoms were very mild, I drank a cup of thyme tea just to play safe. And by Friday evening all symptoms were gone. I repeated an ART test and it was negative. If any of you read this, try it out the next time you get Covid or the flu. Let me know your experience with thyme tea. @watchweasol, you might like to take note of this.
