Still a hefty looking watch!

that is J freeman running in to get it now!!

Vic you will know when a 6497 is fully wound because the crown will stop turning and you would have to work quite hard to break any thingby turning it too hard, they are generaly surdy movements. If you have never wound one to the end give it a go, you will feel it!

You know a switched on dealer might even use this as an advertising or review source

I must have had my fiddy for at least 18 months now and it is still fine Except the exploding glass saga, but there is really no reason why a hand wind would not last i life time, i would love to have a Ziggy service on all my watches and then i would expect all the swiss chiss swiense ones to work for ever with subsequent servicing.

Kienzle used this method in the 80 they made what was at the time according to there marketing the "worlds most water resistant watch" by filling it with silicone oil, cant find a link but i have it in a watch mag here somewere.

Look at the lumes on that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice collection

I recall someone changing a 177 crystal with one bought from cousinsuk i dont for the life of me know what one it would be but 33mm rings a bell. let me know if you find any thing.

Here you go Vic not sure if the nails go with the dial and strap (note to self make a better one) but it was the only colour i had that matched the boots i was wearing today.

I am sorry to hear this i lost 2 good friends this way this last 3 months. I feel for you. please accept my condolences.

Been a fiddy day today but tomorrow i think the railmaster for a change Tomorrow

We do try if you look in the auction scams you will see that we pick up many and report them, some times i think that georgegrasser does this all day if some one is selling a rep and listing as with out box and papers bid as you see appropriate and not trying to start the bidding at a gen price then ok its not too bad but when is is a blatant rep for a gen price report it

I will try to get my wife to do a wrisrt shot with the porto on so you can see Vic

Oh and wear a Timex indiglo that way you wont get mugged for your watch or money!

Lots of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A nice collection and at least you can still tell the time with a Pam after a bottle of Absynth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I think the porto chrono with blue or gold numbers would look great with the right nails

Hey i am not far off the pope

Generaly i set my railmaster with GPS and then set every other watch off that, it is good for a month, i set the clock in the car from GPS and then check via that on the way to work.

They are called "dial Dots" i got a load from Cousins uk, about 1000, far more than i need, PM me an address and i will send you a couple of hundred!

Hello aus NRW

or walked backwards from the german side to the swiss side and just like ken said the guard comes out and sends here "back" to shitinerand.

Or was it the silix PO with the correct logo?

It looks quite deep but it could be polished out, do you have a dremil? that would let you polish it out and then you could rebrush the case.

Either would be nice, or any thing 8 days would show a masive jump in rep movement work!
