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

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

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 .

      Blew it with a coil

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep, i pulled that up as well when i was looking,  there is definitely parts out there if you are prepared to go out and find them.  I watched that video years ago, I'm not so sure about probing the coil like that. If you are going to touch the coil use the side of the probe or at least shape a nice round end to it.

      I saw this listing from Australia this morning on Ebay, it might be your only option, good luck.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/145735044565?itmmeta=01HWCRFPEYDDTCXYCRX7ESQH3K&hash=item21ee7c4dd5:g:f2oAAOSwaMhmI5tq&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4PzZAWzJj0HOwVM7Xl6qUqGIYly3BvZhzNybkxWf8GJYkKwVh0SpeZ0XYBmoZyjaboPOlJYzdY9svwhQXfR7V%2BiMApTEYFLvJcs8FxTzy1VFCBLR8ADc7V89%2B%2FYvQKdks2KDNNEqAFZN0Hni9zQG078wKL34x0eRK%2Fu843fYdH%2FVIAiOZ5%2BbOmySNdu%2Bv4cSemywC%2FWfaiI%2Fj5D3YWk2PaySdPfu7lUaMadcyhmHZM6l6NllJd1eK%2BdblkJD98pTzVuxRDne5AQaCYawls%2FaoQK9B7epV%2B87TIbD9Ulr4qdC|tkp%3ABk9SR-rnvpjjYw

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi. In the picture not only does it depict that the wheel is bent but also the plate or is that due to th angle of the picture.  Already received very good advise so I will butt out.
