    This watch showed up in the mail today. It's much more yellow than it appears and is also in better shape. However, the crystal is loose and appears to have bent the minute hand at the tip. I think I'm going to remove the movement, service it myself and send the case away to be replated - possibly in something other than yellow gold. The band is awesome and seems to be original to the watch. The movement runs but stalls out - it probably just needs a general service. It could also be the result of the bent hand.

    And a unknown Russian watch I picked up on Ebay.

    I bought a similar watch to this a few months back, I love it.

    Yea G-shock! I've found my thirst for timepiece's can be quenched with a new G-shock every few months. Have fairly small wrists though, so I can't pull off some of the larger ones...shame. Same thing that holds me back from a lot of big face watches.

    Today's


    Rest of the active duty watches

    Here is my collection, starting from newest (cheapest) to oldest.
    Stauer 21 jewel (I think, can't remember)



    Early '60s Omega Sea Master



    And the old school... My 1904 Elgin pocket watch



    The mainspring is broken on the Elgin. It would work fine if that were fixed.

    Will

I need to find a movement with a long shaft, probably 2-3 inches to clear the hub and the concave of the spokes. Everything I've found online only goes up to about 1.5 inches, but I'll admit that it was a very quick search without much luck.

    Any help?
    I guess you could extend the shafts with some sort of tubing of equal diameter. Or just machine the back of the wheel and move the movement up closer.

    Im done with your overpriced quartz fashion watches, leather jackets, Drakar cologne, and german car fetish.
    Both of you are losing the same argument.
