Atomic.

 

And on the back in french it says something like "though land, though sea, through the sky, to the moon!" on the back, which I think is kind of funny.

 

Probably my favourite watch to wear. It's a hard choice between the speedmaster and this one for me. Although I think everyone would probably go for the speedmaster.

Hi B,

 

How big are they? Is the Cyma model still available somewhere?

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

 

Mine is 41 mm with the crown. 38 mm without.

 

They are around in England, and ebay, as being british military watches. They are from the 1940's so, I'm guessing you mean they are available second hand, and not like somewhere new in a shop. :-p

Wow. It's getting better and better the further down i go. Love the Lemania and the Eterna. And the Speedmaster with it's JB champion strap is wonderful. Looks like a 105.012 with the DON bezel or  maybe a 2998?  Congratulations you have a wonderful watch collection.

Thanks for sharing a very admirable sampling! I'm head over heels for the Eterna Telemetre. Do you have any additional information about it? I'd love to add that to my dream team search list.

 

Not much really, it's 1950's valjoux 22, oversized screwback, the case doesn't have any reference numbers. Apart from the case back saying it's anti-magnetic and waterproof. I've had the exact same watch in white dial though as well, so they are around.

Thanks,

 

Its a ST 105.013.

 

I don't know what DON bezel means haha, I'm not so good with the new terminology. But I'm pretty sure it's the original one.

DON means dot over ninety . The little dot that is next to the 90 . The later speedmasters have the dot next to the 90 . Like this? 

DON bezel.

Dot next to 90

When Omega serviced the speedys they often changed the bezel. This makes the DON bezels worth a lot of money this days.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I understand there's a difference between a service bezel and the original, never knew they called it a dot over ninety, interesting to know.

      Tweezer hack.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      If you tend to be a little heavy handed then heres something that might help you to prevent cap jewel loses if you have some spare tweezers. File a round into each of the tips so you can grip a capstone or chaton while oiling or moving them around. Instead of filing along the length, angle file the tips first then file the rounds perpendicular to the angle. This way the tweezers wont get in the way of the oiler. Choose an angle that suits your natural hand grip position. The tweezers can now grip round parts on four sides Instead of two that often flip that part away.

      Seiko 6601 Tech Sheet?

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      I had noticed that video before.  He has a separate video for the reassembly. When he started the reassembly with using peg wood to oil a jewel I have to admit that I didn't watch much further. He also advocated not lubricating the center wheel arbor because the cannon pinion is friction fit. There is also a blog post (Adventures in Watchmaking, I think) that has a bit of info but not much at all with the oiling.

      What is the correct way to lubricate clock mainsprings?

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      In view of the modern lubricants available, would you lubricate a clock movement differently today?

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep thats the way it goes. The trick is to lead it into a false sense of security. Go through all the motions of ordering another one but dont actually click that final buy it now button, then stand up say " oh well at least I have another one on the way" .  It will pop its head out and shout " SUCKER ! " . They've done studies you know 60% of the time it works everytime.
