Giugiaro today. Just got it back from repair and service by George in Berlin.



Could do with one extra link to be totally comfortable but they are hard to find [emoji22]

I've tried that too but mine won't get darker than this.

Very wet weather here in Kuala Lumpur over the last week.  Since my transport to work a motorcycle I've been using my newer water resistant watches. 

Today it's my Seiko 7s36-01E0, or more commonly referred to by the cognoscenti as the 'Atlas'.

Too chunky for other days but fine for Friday's. 

Have a good weekend guys

Finished fixing this Gruen Precision with a "Canada hockey dial" yesterday, maybe a common sight over the pond but the first time I've seen one.

Movement is a Gruen 03, 25 jewels automatic.

Very nice ,clean looking watch Tipsy . The watch band suits it well .

Seiko "BB 36 tribute" built on a SNK805.

Essentially just put on hands+dial and polished top+side.

Polerouter date, the watch I ruined for myself by hyping it up to much.

Not sure what you mean by your statement of , "  I ruined for myself by hyping it up to much."

Clean looking watch though .

I should have explained that better. Essentially before I got it, given the history (Scandinavian, aviation, design and horological) I built it up in my mind and it got worse as I serviced it, everything in the movement just seem to be designed so well. But when I put it on my wrist it just cant live up to that impossible image.

Onward to a watch that did the opposite. My first impressions of the Alpinist was small and dull. But it really grew on me and the dial/handset combination plays with the light just beautifully.

Picture reflects the Swedish weather quite well, grey and cold.

I'm on my way to become addicted to old chronos. Recently got my first calendar, a Wakman Jumbo. Looking forward to disassemble and service it.

7t42-7a2a on a new non Seiko padded black leather strap.

This one needs some work, love the dial, clean minimal text. Some dials its like they are writing a novel.

I've fallen for this mid-size Spinnaker. Fitted with the Seiko NH35 movement. Seeing as it's a "Keeper" I've corrected the beat error

Great numbers--You've done a good job of regulating it. What does it look like Crown down as in the pic with you wearing?

Minus 6 and the amplitude drops to around 220

Not bad. Its within chronometer specs.  Amplitude is just a touch low...Is it fully wound when you tested?

Not sure. Watch taken off wrist and given the Seiko shuffle for a minute or so and then left for about 10 minutes

Right...Seiko's are fully automatic for winding. Looks good then. Amplitude would probably go up with a day or two on an automatic winder.

What do you mean? The NH35  (4R35) posted has manual winding. It's cute with that thin bezel.

Hattori Nh35. I suspect Motion Tone are producing these movements for Seiko but couldn't confirm either way
