Worth getting up at 4:00AM in the states. Initial panic when cc company denied international purchase. Had a backup card and made the purchase under the wire. Had to sell my DN a few years ago and...
Jocke,
That first photo is a killer. Really nice watch but your photos make it a level better.

Apart from some desirable 'sports' and 'military' models, there is no market for vintage watches. Us silly WISes aside, who do you know who wears vintage AND because it's vintage? I only know a...
Hi Ben,
You have a real jewel there. Very rare and giving some Doxa collectors watch envy.
If your plan is to keep the watch, then a movement service is all that is needed. Nalu has enough...
I think a 500 piece min with bracelet will be difficult to sell. I like a bracelet and would pay the price because it is a good value compared to other brands. That is just a lot of stock, even if...
It's a beauty. Sorry to read that you have to let it go.

I only have one watch with a Lemania movement...

I have an Enzo EM001. Good watch. Weighs about 20lbs with the bracelet. Can be used to anchor a boat. The only problem is the bezel. Enzo is sending me a replacement bezel spring to improve the...
:oops:
Actually they are all different versions (Type 1, 2, 3) so I think that justifies the "hoarding" in this case. :)

OK - I like hoarding...

Since the parts are intechangeable with the V175, a new stem and mainspring will cost less than $15.00 from Jules Borel. Your watchmaker should be able to order from there.
The other option is to...
Hope it's OK to do a little post processing for you mate.

I recently sent my Dreadnought to Fricker for service from the USA. No problem. Used USPS, got it shipped, repaired and returned in four weeks.
As for servicing, it depends on how much you wear...
If you want to use it for diving, go with the solid case back. If you just wear it about on dry land with and occasional splash in a pool, I would go with the display back.
BTW - like the...
Hi John,
I agree that that a watch behaves differently when worn. On a few watches I have adjusted them for my wear pattern. However, if I notice that it is loosing a couple of minutes a day on...
Though not a fan of winders, I have a few watches that I put on a winder for a week or so I can quickly swap them out. Also nice to see how well they are regulated over a week. In general, a winder...
Who from Omega has released this data? I am suspicious this is a well made Photoshop mock-up.

There are 2 watches:
When my Dad was Ordained as a Reverend in the Anglican Church at age 82, he wore a Blancpain Flyback I gave several years before:

OMG - Don't let Invicta see this - could be a whole new line of watches here! They will call it they left handed cyclops. It might even have a candy coloured rubber strap to snazz it up.
This is...
I use three methods for cleaning off the dial.
The first is to use a dust blower. Check it with a loop to see if it is clean.
The next step if that does not work is to use a dial cleaning...
Sorry to hear about the min. order. I have purchased from Jules Borel in the past. Back order items can take a bit of time, but otherwise a good company. Unfortunitly I don't have to place an order...
Most of the items have been covered. One word of advice here. When ever you have a tool that is metal coming in touch with the watch (i.e., case back removal, spring bar changing, etc.) I always cut...
John,
Good advice.
I would like to note that Loctite is a brand and not just a cyno acetate type of material. I use their thread lock, which comes in various types of compounds from soft lock...
Here is my suggestion, it is a few hundred pounds over your budget, but one of my favorites:
