I've been watching loads of those videos and trying to learn the rudiments of watch mechanics. My toolkit is growing and I've bought some broken watches to dismantle and practice on. I don't think I could ever be a watch maker, the scale is just too tiny for my sausage fingers but the fact that these tiny, intricate machines function so beautifully absolutely fascinates me. With modern tooling and computer design it's amazing to watch all the components doing their jobs, I just can't get my head around how basically the same parts were all made by hand by craftsmen a hundred years ago and these little works of art still function beautifully today.
My limit is changing straps & resizing bracelets & with Parkinson's it's easier to do when my meds have kicked in.
As a kid I took a few apart, that bit I was good at. Reassembly, that never happened!
Well, it doesn't look like Watchfinder are going to respond to my last message. Does not make them look good.
That's a poor show, they've gone down in my estimation. They've got a sale on at the moment, was tempted by a Rolex Daytona at a mere £20k for a moment ;)Quote:

Pic is missing for me.. Was this it?

Yes, wonder what happened there?
its back.. may have been a tapatalk issue. interesting watch.. not seen anything quite like it:eyebrows:
That's a good shot Grant.
I'll admit to having a little spending spree over the past week, sold some stuff on ebay & finally got the last bit of the refund from TUI for our cancelled cruise. As I don't need to spend it on hifi :) I thought I might spend some of it on watches.
Don't worry. I've treated 'er indoors as well, got her a dozen of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ;)

nice watch. good company glycine
Thanks. Something special about quality movements. And being a lazy old git, I tend to go for automatics... Though there's relatively few affordable options in terms of movements these days.Quote:

Quite like that one Grant - but maybe it's down to the 'moody' shot.Quote:

Louder (the green) than I'd normally go for, but a great looking watch, certainly clear, even subtle in some respects, but sporty and modern with a splash of brash selfconfidence...Quote:

How do they do that, is it etched or stamped or whatever?Quote:
