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

Well that is a relief to hear! 

This beauty is a mechanical real piece of work, Louis Moinet Geograph with an inhouse LM53 movement. Its really a lovely all around dual time watch but picture doesnt let the real detailed precision work show. My favorite part of the watch is the seconds hand which is the little sun next to the date wheel. Although the watch has a little bit of size on it its just a lovely piece to wear!

I'm very pleased to share  that I  finally acquired 2 watches that have been in my radar for a while . 

The first I received today  . It is a vintage Hamilton Flight II hand wind . One of Hamilton's and Designer , Richard Arbib's many beautiful asymmetrical designs in both Electric and Mechanical movements .

 

The watch:

About 2 weeks ago I was able to get a very nice Breitling Chronomat automatic with a 7750 Valjoux movement .

I truly have enjoyed wearing this watch everyday since I've had it ,...although I did remove it to give the Hamilton a spin around the block .

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      It's pronounced "bombay" like the city.  French for bomb is, 😄, bombe, pronounced the same as in English. Bombé, bombe.

      That's a really good idea! I have a 3d printer, I think I'll design something that I can clip on to the edge of my desk to do the same. Thanks for the idea.

      I looked up bombè, domed in French.  It's pronunciation is bomb, does a bomb (explosive device) get It's name from bombè? I know we're going off subject but it's interesting.

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Okay, I checked with the fine folks at the McCaw Company, and they agree it's the correct crystal, and they have one in stock, so with that sorted time to get onto assembly. Starting by getting the spring into the barrel, which was a bit harrowing. It took me several tries to get it hooked onto my worn old winder arbor, but I did find a new use for the micrometer stand I just purchased. Carefully dabbed some Kluber P125 braking grease to the left of the divots around the barrel, and a little HP1300 on the floor of the barrel before popping it in--in case you haven't seen it, this is a great illustration I found somewhere on this site. You're not the boss of me, Bulova.   2172_Bulova 11AOAC 11AOACD 11AOACB.pdf Bulova_11 AOAC, D, B(1).pdf I got the train back in and it didn't seem as free as I'd like. Looks like the driving wheel with cannon pinion has zero end shake. That could explain the low amplitutde I started with. Now if you were me, would you push on the plate jewel or the bridge jewel? I've attached some extra pictures in case anyone sees something else I'm doing wrong here.

      What is it about this watch that speaks to me?

      By Razz · Posted

      I have quite a few watch brands from all over the world. For some reason this Timex electric from 1979 is capturing my attention this week. I am not a particularly fond of battery operated watches or Timex, but this one is different for some reason. Post your watch in your collection that seems to draw you in more now than before...
