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

I haven't posted one of these for a while so I thought I had better.

This is my current favourite. 1970's Accurist diver, ETA Cal.2472, all stainless case.

eBay score in a very tatty state but for reasonable money. All it needed was a full clean and service, relume of the hands, and a new crystal, it's now keeping great time. I can't do much about the wear on the bezel as it is not an insert, but printed directly on the aluminium but I actually quite like the "well used but not abused" air that it lends the watch.

It's on a second hand Mont Blanc stainless steel bracelet (also off the bay) which I think looks great and is extreemly comfy.

Wore the Shturmanskie today - a Poljot chronograph that I've owned since it was new. It's showing some wear now, mainly the missing chrono reset stud and not much chrome left on the crown. If anybody can suggest a source for Poljot parts, I'd be grateful! I think Mark recently posted a teardown of this movement.

Nice, I recently serviced a "Avenger" Brietling much the same style as the first pic. The only issue was the removal of the hands as they are coated with some sort of ceramic & they were fitted really tight & one was damaged & I had to replace. However a real nice,heavy watch.

Yeah but subs are classic, nothing boring about it my friend. Yep, the one above was my second GMT ....the first (below) was a newer Master II of course but oddly enough I like the '75 better for reasons I haven't figured yet.

      Merged posts

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Hello people , this is maybe a question that the moderators can answer.  Can seperate posts be unmerged from each other. Sometimes posts are missed by others because of a continuation of them . Even when answering seperate people the posts are grouped together as one. Maybe it saves message board space ?

      What tools does ebay have to offer this week.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Just got these good quality diamond files from the bay for Just a fiver, we all love a bargain dont we. Brand names are J.K.Smit  and Triefus, two old diamond tool makers so not cheap crap.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Its a touch under ive just remeasured it and added a wrist shot. Unbelievably it was £13  plus 3 postage. You dont find watches that nice for that money every day of the week. Maybe removing the epilame in the oil region improves the purpose of it. We may know very soon as i emailed Episurf 4 hours ago to ask that exact question. 🤞they are happy to provide an answer for us. How do you fancy trying a stearic acid vapour treatment experiment  H .  Shall i have a go this afternoon ? Stearic acid experiment underway,  its started to melt at around  65° C. The idea is to find a large cap jewel to suspend over the vapour release.

      That's the size of my grandfather's Ernest Borel watch. Definitely not a lady's watch! 👍

      Thanks H It does have a big crown for the watch , it could be considered a ladies watch these days i guess, it measures 33mm case 36mm with that large crown 18mm lug space. A tad small for a guy of today, but still very wearable. The photo was deceptive so here it is adorning my 7 1/4 " wrist. It need some love to make it run better. The hair coils are touching so running a bit fast at the moment,  not caused by magnetism, and maybe just a clean and a service. The dtal is in fantastic shape.
