Boy, did I ever get lucky!  I went back to a local antique mall (more of a flea market, really) early this morning to buy something I'd seen several days ago. And it was still there!  And this time, I

Today it's the Benrus Citation electronic watch. I recently pulled this apart to clean it. It had a very tall battery in it and the hatch wasn't sealing so moisture was getting in and everything was beginning to stall. Next strap I buy, will be a replacement for this ugly thing.

A while  back I posted  a urika hamazawa..It was  really  worn past practical  repair..If you are familiar  with  the hamazawa  movement  ,you know  it's  quite tall. So  I conducted  an experiment...Urika  case ... dg2813  movement...generic  29mm sterile dial generic hands  ...."custom"  plastic   movement  holder ring and bulova water proof  crown. It all lines up..works  like a charm..something  to think about if you have an old non working  hamazawa  you want to play  with.

Today I slipped on my Pam homage I made myself from eBay parts. I fell in love with the Panerai PAM00672. The classic shape of that case and the eye catching engraving caught my eye. I happened to see a "replica" of that case on the Bay and picked one up. I also grabbed a Sea-Gull 6498 movement and a sleek black California dial with matching hands. The strap came next and I chose one that looked the part. The correctly engraved clasp was ordered last to make it complete. I get compliments all the time on it.

Camy powered by ST90, made in India I believe. 

Check prices, real inexpensive.

.. and a fine looking bunch they are too.

I would not be the least surprised to find an old friend (the HMT 0231) lurking inside at least one of them in place of the stated "ST 90" .. (which probably actually refers to the Standard FHF 96).


There is only one way to know for sure, and that is to take a peek inside.

Enjoy them whatever they turn out to be. :biggrin:  So far as I know, and I 'aint no expert, the standard  "Standard 96" doesn't come with date complication, however there may well be variants that do.

If you search Ranfft for ST 96 or "standard", you will see there are many variants, so one with date is a distinct possibility. 

Have a great Christmas, and New Year. :thumbsu:

My blue dialed Citizen Crystron Quartz enjoying a bit of early morning Indian sunshine, makes another appearance today.

RIMG0330.thumb.JPG.49e2dfe5bffc0c2a3d772bd7934c0540.JPG

It appears to be from July 1980 (not 1985 as I previously stated), which makes it around 40 years old.

It is a Citizen, though, so it is barely run in. :P

You were right Andy,  ST96 under the hood.

      I dont think mine is. Its an idea to have them all in one place if possible, then a quick screenshot will have them saved. Unless anyone has any other ideas of how to reconnect

      Broken lug

      I have an Enfield mantel clock with a broken mounting lug (see photos). Does anyone have any suggestions about the best way to proceed?

      Yup watchie you are entirely on my wavelength with this , you actually said what i was hinting at, what if something happens to mark ? Will someone be able to take over ? Its not that long ago that the forum was down and Mark had to step in and fix it. And you are right a wealth of information that does not exist as a whole anywhere on the planet will be lost. Can that be archived elsewhere? It would be an absolute shame if the plug was pulled without warning, i would like to think Mark wouldn't do that to us. And like i said in my first post i talk about things other folk might be affraid to.  So lets not skirt around anything. It might be nice to have a place where we can all drop our emails just in case so we always have that contact. Can you make that happen  Old Hippy ?  i kind of think of you as the pops of the forum 🙂
