Watch of Today

Recommended Posts

Aloha Watch Fans , ...I've been pretty busy for the last couple of months and haven't posted any of my watches lately . 

I'd like to remedy that by sharing a couple of Heuer and Tag Heuer chronographs from my collection . 

!st off is this Heuer by Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph . The model # is CS2111 and is what is called a re-issue or re-edition of the classic Monaco brought to fame by Steve McQueen's Blue Face version in the movie " Le Mans'....

Some tidbits about the watch...

The watch....

The next watch I would like to share is this Hefty Tag Heuer Carrera Caliber 16 . This watch is powered by a Valjoux 7750 . When I first got the watch it was in need of a service highlighted by the fact that when I hand wound it  , the oscillating weight would also spin causing a drag on the winding stem and causing the watch to wobble . I serviced it and am happy to report that it is purring like a kitten .

  This watch features a portrait of race car driver Juan Manual Fangio On the case Back .

I hope you enjoyed looking at these watches as much as I do .....Thanks , Louis

Another NOS Benrus..same as the stainless steel version I posted earlier. I purchased a lot of 19 NOS Benrus watches and I'm slowly getting them back in running order. They've been sitting around in their original factory shipping box for over 40 years. Most had broken crystals and some had calendar issues but they all seem to just need a good service to get running correctly... They'll keep me busy for a good while!:blink:

Ok, I need your watch! I have this unique Day date dial movement combination. I need to find a case for it and yours has the exact dial shape that I've been looking for! It's kind of unique since it has a full day display and date on the same line..

If this watch looks familiar it's made up of a bunch of homage pieces and parts.. a Tudor black Bay case, a jaeger-lecoultre master compressor dial and hands, and a Rolex Submariner ceramic bezel.. none of it fit together out of the box I had to do a lot of Machining and modifying to get everything to fit together. Even the movement, it is a ETA 2834 with the day wheel removed and the expansion ring for the 13.5 line size..

I have attached a link to a review of this beauty...
 
I have also recently picked up this 1949 Hamilton "Franklin" . Excellent refinish done to this watch , It looks new . Also , it comes serviced by a 3rd generation watchmaker and has a 1 year warranty .

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
