Ummm... ya, I did say it was a Speedmaster. :scratch:
And yes, it is on a black strap. I wonder how they picked the Speedmaster as "THE" watch to use. One of the writers a WIS? Though I do...
His time-only starts at about $6000 USD. What's more amazing is his Tourbillion is about $30,000 USD!!!
[Did a quick search and couldn't find reference to this here (only to Margaret Beckett, and "Castle" appears so many times in so many different topics I didn't bother), so...]
Anyone familiar with...
Good lord. As the kids say, "Sweeeeet!!!"
But isn't a mechanical watch the most accurate when it is fully wound? When the mainspring is under the most tension? That's when the balance has the best/strongest swing, and therefore the best...
I mentioned once on a CV that I made plastic models, and years later it turns out that's why I got the job - the professor was looking for someone to do micro-surgery on mice, and figured that hobby...
Sorry lads for this late reply, but as I don't check in everday (or every few hours) anymore (though, dear lord, I know I used to...) :twisted:
I did say it was a "sighting". Didn't have a...
Terry, thanks for the tip. I've already got the tub sorted as I already have the Mod.22 type in the gimbaled box.
:P Was finally able to pick up a "pocketwatch" style Hamilton Mod.22 Chronometer. Have had a box/gimbal mounted one for years, but never could get the portable one at a price I could afford. ...
Gee. I thought my mention of seeing a few Habrings would get at least a little attention... :scratch:

Noticed local dealer had a few Harbring watches in their case. Had read about them so took a look. VERY unassuming watch... from the outside. Happened to have my 10x loupe with me (I carry it...
Nice watch!
Very roughly...

Well I had to re-read your posts several times and I'm still not sure that I've properly grasped their intent. Perhaps you could clear it up for me?
Are you?:
1. Just having a laugh ? (fully...
Saw this on the back of an Omega chronograph. Does anyone know if it means anything? Is it military?

Just found on our favorite online auction site - #270500776158. Auction closes in 4 days (Dec 20, 5pm PST)
Correctly labeled as a Seiko 7a28 type (7a28-7049), but then a couple of lines down also...
I went back 10 pages to see if there was an explanation for this and didn't find one; so... WTF is that?! :dontknow:
Sorry, this got a bit long. Thanks to all who even just actually read it through.
My father called and said he just bought a Bulgari 303, which surprised the hell out of me, after I checked...
Wow. A real beaut'. Ummm... but they say nothing about really about the watch itself: beat rate, and as someone says balance size, Kif or Incabloc or in-house shock protection, etc. What they did...
As always... Price point? :?
Hey there
I was just in HKG last week on biz and you're SPOT on about females and women wearing men-sized watches!!! Not only it looks great on them ... but it kinda make them look very 'premium'....
My experience in Japan (about 15 year ago now - I'm gettin' old) was that they were VERY brand aware. And like as others have said about HK, though you could get some fakes there, IF you were...
The one "new" Rolex I would consider buying and wearing would be the Explorer I at 36mm. Now, if someone were to give me a Seadweller... well, I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings. :lol:
