Is this a personal threat, Duncan? Speak over the phone, I can understand... but having to "meet [...] in person and clear things up [...]": are you making a veiled threat, sir?

Sorry but it does look like you are ignoring it TBH... your site is still selling the straps.[/quote]

Hi all, I haven't posted on TZ-UK for some time and I respect Bob's wish to close the thread....

I agree, there's nothing wrong with the WatchCo Seamaster 300 timepieces. Yes, the case parts are not of vintage production... but if you were to send in your vintage SM300 to Omega in Bienne for...

I'm sceptical... a Bulova 10AK movement is not an Elgin 554 and I doubt this part would be interchangeable between these two movements.

You should contact Henri of Sterling Times via his Ebay...

Hi Kanenas,

Don't take this the wrong way but without being handle your watch in real life, it's hard to determine as to whether there's a real mechanical problem or as to whether it's you not...

Hi Kanenas,

Thanks for the great review and for the info regarding the bracelet option.

I wouldn't worry about the crown. Of course, I haven't yet gotten around to owning a Rolex watch nor have...

I don't know but judging by availability on the market, the Smiths W10 could have been issued in the largest numbers, followed by the Hamilton 6B and finally the Smiths 6B.

If I remember...

Hi Joseph,

I honestly don't know. From what I've observed, these early Lemanias can come with either fixed bar cases or spring bars and I haven't been able to figure out any logical pattern.

Congratulations, sir! Great example! However, please beware, the Lemania chronos can find ways of multiplying themselves in a collection! The photo I like best is this one:

Great story! Thanks for sharing this with us, Ailfrid! I assume what the journalist calls a "chronometer" was likely a chronograph. I wonder what the watch actually looks like. The following Gallet...

I'm certainly crediting you, Sir! Great work!

I've looked up KAFT and it stands for for ?Kungliga Arméförvaltningens Tygavdelning? which translates into ?Royal Swedish Army Administration,...

Wow! Great, thanks Neve! For years I've wondered about what these instructions actually say! How would you like for me to credit you? As 'Neve"?

Hi there,

In Imai's World Military Watch Mook, a Swedish Air Force issue Lemania Tg 195 is featured with a set of instructions written out in Swedish. I would like to have this translated for my...

Hi fellas,

Thanks to all for your positive comments, these Lemania chronos really are amazing timepieces, both aesthetically and mechanically.

Now, in reference to the quotes above regarding...

Just horsing around with my digital camera this morning (it's still morning over here!)... It's only when I lived in the UK that I developed a taste for tea and it's only when I got back to Canada...

Thanks David, amazing timepiece you have there!

Hi Mark,

I don't see why RAF pilots would *not* have worn the watches they were issued with. In Ziggy's book you can see a host of WWII issue watches that would have well suited the needs of...

I haven't yet had the pleasure to deal with Neil (http://chronomaster.co.uk) but I have no reason to doubt the positive comments I've heard. I've dealt with Zaf Basha (http://classicwatch.com) and,...

Thanks Ailfrid! The mil issue chrono you're referring to is likely the RCAF issue Omega which was equipped with the Omega signed cal. 2221 (which is basically the hacking version of the Lemania cal....

Before going on your great Omegan adventure, I'd strongly suggest trying to handle these watches in real life. The 6B/159 (or HS/|\8), the WWW, the '53, the '56 and the SM300 are all very different...

Great watch! Those 1940s Longines movements are just spectacular to look at... mesmerizing really. I almost got hypnotized by a cal. 10L several months ago!

Design-wise, your watch looks like...

Hi Joseph, unfortunately I didn't record the serial number. Believe it or not, they're not terribly important for me. *Movement* serial numbers on the other hand are a different thing... Lemania...

I agree, I'd keep that dial as-is. Great watch! BTW, that particular dial is relatively rare. It's from the pre circled-T era which means it escaped the MoD's great Radium Inquisition. Here's a...

Feeling nostalgic for the good ol' roll call, I've just gone ahead and posted one.

Bye for now!

Very well stated, sir, I wholeheartedly agree. One of the kicks he gets out of the 30 T2 is how perfectly poised Omega managed to make the balance wheel. It is one of the few movements where the...
