Nice Parnis power reserve auto

Exhibition back, think it’s a Miyota movement because of the noisy rotor. A lot of watch for 35 notes though.

No offence taken Alan, I was just having a laugh. Although it's a fake at least I won't be terrified of losing or damaging it if I wear it.Quote:

I think what irks me about it is the fact that it's a blatant fake. If it looked like a Planet Ocean with a sterile dial I'd be fine with it. Well, it is what it is and I can look like a proper player in the wine bar hahaha.
I had delivery from Cousins today, a longer mesh bracelet for the Mondaine and some deployment bracelet extension pieces, curses to my chubby wrists lol. I also bought a few more watchmakers tools, good quality tweezers and a set of Bergeon screwdrivers, not cheap but I was once told "buy cheap buy twice".
When it comes to tools, quality costs but is usually good value in the long run, if they're used frequently and of course correctly.!Quote:

Better, hate those shiny black ‘leather’ straps they put on.

Some good models there Roy.. The Bison is very distinctive
Stopped buying Ingersolls, last one arrived with its second hand adrift. Just ordered a watch from Australia, see how long that takes to arrive.Quote:

Seems to happen a lot with watches, cars, motorbikes etc...
All boys toys, and associated accessories, of bygone days... a coincidence.? I think not.

Omega moon watch chronograph auto wind but it sits in my safety deposit box at the bank, kind of dumb.
Yes, barely wear any of my ‘exotics’, as you say ‘kind of dumb’.Quote:

Trying out a Hematite bracelet, meant to have healing properties, see if it helps with my arm (quite like it anyway)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...caba03c5_b.jpg
Like the look of the KS, retro but very stylish...
Not so sure about the bracelet, could be a subtle means of hair removal... ;-)
Someone else injured..?

The watch cost me the grand sum of £29.99!Quote:

Not injured as such, my right arm is limb most affected by my Parkinson's.
Ah, sorry to hear about that Roy, I know it's not pleasant..!Quote:

Moving the bezel sorts the OCDers from the don't carers..! Don't worry Roy, it went straight back to TDC.!

A new arrival today, a Citizen automatic from the late 70s/early 80s. Really nice condition and keeping good time. I've fitted a temporary bracelet until Cousins delivers a suitable replacement to fit my porky wrist. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...08bbe00967.jpg

That's a good looking watch, and as you say, it looks in good fettle for its age.Quote:
