Just had a look at it on your pages.  Why would anyone wnt a soulless iWatch when there are wonderfull watches like that around.  Hopefully one day I will finally get my hands on one of my Gt x3 grandfathers bits of work (Benjamin Harlow Lane End Staffs) it will be Georgian and definitely older than me at last (:-)). 

 

Baking Bread today. They are going to be Olives and Cheese buns specials. Cheated a bit using the dough making cycle of my bread machine but the baking smell is now permeating the house.

 

Cheers, Vic

I was supposed to bake some bread this morning but we decided to sweep and wash down the patio to get rid of all the builders' grit and dust after our building work at the back of the house. I'll probably make some tomorrow. I used to knead my own dough but the bread making machine does it just as well.

Bit off the posting now but these are my iBuns - Cheese and olives inside toasted cheese and onion on the top. Smell better than the watch, perfectly visible at every angle, don't need recharging, satisfying and you can put butter on them without causing any damage.  Also when you look at them you can tell the time - time to eat one. :D

Ah! The new Patek competition...at what US$17000+ I believe? I saw and add and the price seemed like a joke! The whole watch is probably one chip they bought for about US$.25 in bulk and is mass produced! This advertising says "you do....things that simply weren't possible before" and that is correct, it makes a lot of money, very fast for Apple! :)

 

Cheers,

Does it come with a really small watch band ? I have just thought of somewhere to wear it. 

 

My son in LA was up all night preparing for them to go on sale, He then had to look happy and joyous when the first customers are whooped and high fived into the shop - does not come easy to a geordie lad :D .  However, I admit he has bought one (with staff discount) which I will see in july when he arrives also with numerous goodies I have bought on the Bay in the USA.

 

Cheers,

 

Vic

OK this is a realy old posting and hopefully no one will read this 🥵 I am obviously a hippocrite as I have an iwatch 6 provided courtesy of my son.  It does provide certain health benefit advice that assist with the various medical conditions I currently host.  However, I will not get used to my watch picking up all my calls and texts and immediately drawing my attention to them as well as the numerous deliveries from Amazon etc.

My activities have been somewhat curtailed recently due to sight problems and other stuff but I have not quite given up on the hobby it just takes much longer to do anything.

Happy new year to all,

Vic

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out.  (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement -  any tips on putting the crystal back in?  Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press?  I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under…

      No thats straight out of the watch as i found it the balance wheel is almost as bad. I've never seen so much material removed.
