Hmmmm... JohnG's numbers may be slightly skewed as they don't take into account the number of 'As Seen On TV' special edition HBB replica's produced specifically for the Antarctic regions only...
Wearer: Yes
Collector: Kinda
Accumulator: Sometimes, though I do try to limit my watch count (parts seem to be a different story)
Builder: Definitely(!)
This hobby is therapy, borderline insanity for me.
Some of the newer gen models have the rehaut engraving (i.e. Z and M serial). Some of the Z serials, but not all. For a while, the engraving was dependent on if the watch was SS, TT or 18K full gold, though now it is a feature that is being implemented across all model lines, regardless of case metal type...
Hmmmm... But which name means more?
EL?
Sunshine300?
Eddie Murphy?
I remember, he once had me send payment with the description: 'STD testing kits'
I was like 'WTF?!'
The set screw to hold the stem into the movement/keyless works has worked it's way loose. Easy fix, though it requires opening the caseback to access that set screw to tighten.
I have to admit; I've not been a huge YM fan, but this one has me quite anxious!
Based on the preliminary pics up to this point, I'm excited to see the finished product
Perhaps a little more information is in order.
When the watch stops, is it while you are wearing it, or is it while it is sitting stationary in your watch box, or on your dresser, night table, etc?
When your watch stops, is it when the hour and minutes hands are in close proximity (i.e. perhaps they are touching as they overlap)?
