Watch of Today

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Wearing this Vulcain 'Meteor II' today. Don't you just love these funky names? I've always had a soft spot for Vulcain..a lot of it is due to the name itself and the logo (as on the caseback below)..

 

Inside is nothing spectacular.. just an ETA2452...tried and tested (sorry no pics)!

It's a Mondia for me today.

My first "proper" watch was a Mondia Sea Scout. It was my 16th birthday present from my parents and I still have it, but it was the start of my interest in Mondia watches and I now have 5 of various vintages. This one was an eBay non-runner that required no more than a service and clean up.

Nice job on that Sportmatic BL.

Geo I reckon you earned that test drive several times over.

I was out on site today so went for something a little more robust than I would for the office.

Citizen Promaster, a nice big solid reliable chunk.

I love the dial on that Omega.

 

Today I grabbed this Seiko Alarm Chronograph watch to be my watch of the day. You don't see many of these around anymore or fully working ones, especially considering that they used to be so popular at one time.

    • Hi! I am in the process of restoring a rado captain cook mkII. I want to remove the rotor, but I am not sure how to and need some help. As you can hopefully see on the photo there are 2 screws. The left one has two positions, the right one looks like a regular screw. I have tried turning the right one, but it does not give even after using more force than I would expect. Anyone know the function of the left screw with the two positions and how to remove the rotor? Thanks!!
    • Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy
    • I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!
    • Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.
