Christmas to yourself Louis? Your Speedmaster is a nice looking watch, and unless I'm mistaken it is ETA 7751 based movement inside. I suggest that you keep it on a watch winder as these movements are a real pain in the bum when you have to set all the functions!

or I could send it to you to set for me .

Please don't, I have a similar type of beastie that when on my wrist only tells the time 'cause I can't be **BLEEP**d setting all the functions. I used to when I first got it at first.

Oh Happy Day...New Years Eve and the postman delivered my Triple date .  Man , I love it . 

Aloha Geo ....I was kinda intimidated when you mentioned setting the functions , but I find it user friendly to set ..... A lot easier than some solar powered , satellite or radio controlled , Perpetual calendar , etc. etc , watches I have . I do have to go to watch college for them . :geek: ...

 

This Baby is nice...

The postman also brought me this vintage Swiss Lucien Piccard Seashark....watch and case only . I had bought a genuine LP watchband previously , ...in case I won the watch . The pics of the watch on ebay were dark and obscure and not much of a description which kept other bidders away , so I picked it up at a bargin compared to the other Seasharks offered .

i noticed the date right off. i like how they did the date hand. i like that better than a window. i have an Orvis quartz with one of those date hands. 

yup, it's a beauty. the only thing i think omega could have done a better job on is the tachy ring. i don't know what it needs - just something. but i'd own it. yup.

 

very nice LP. there's a brand that i've never even considered. and i haven't seen very many.

The Omega is just perfect. What a beautiful watch to own and wear. You must be very proud.

I can't say I'm proud to finally get one , ...But I'm a happy puppy .  I almost put on another watch this morning ,....but I didn't .  I've been wearing it 3 days now , a record only beat by my underwear...... just kidding .

      Pivot Gauge

      By Waggy · Posted

      Could it be an abbreviation for Denier? "Denier (/ˈdɛniər/) or den (abbreviated D), a unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers, is the mass in grams per 9,000 metres of the fiber. The denier is based on a natural reference: a single strand of silk is approximately one denier; a 9,000-metre strand of silk weighs about one gram." The pivot gauge looks interesting, however I wouldn't trust myself to drive a pivot into a wedge incase it jams and gets damaged/snaps trying to get it free. More a comment on my ability and incompetence than the quality or design of the tool 🤣

      Rolex 3130/3135 Automatic winding issue

      @clockboy The damage on the movement much worse. The images against the green background are my watch the other 2 are from the internet. The rotor has erased the perlage. I am surprised how is this watch still running.

      Pivot Gauge

      By dhall · Posted

      Hi All, I recently bought a few gauges on Ebay. One of those was my actual target, a roller jewel gauge. Pictured below was one of the other gauges I received. From what I gather, this one is for measuring pivots. No sure if I'm right here. A confirmation of my assumption would be great. The gauge also has an abbreviation of "DEN". I have looked around and don't find this relative to watchmaking. Any clue to what this abbreviation means? Thanks, Don
