Nanuq Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Here are a couple of vintages. Mine is 49 years old, and the delightful Ms. Nanuq's is 68. Together they represent 117 years of mechanical bliss. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWG Technical Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 So I did the logical thing and sent it to Ziggy. In short order it was back home, running absolutely flawlessly. Ziggy is the man! Thanks for the kind words...I guess I can finally fess up on a "small" incident that took place on the way to the ultrasonic cleaning machine in the basement... The movement was all stripped and placed in the cleaning baskets and these baskets are held in a small plastic container, which I take with me to the basement. So, off I go to the basement, as I have done a thousand times...as I get to the bottom of the stairs, I reach over to turn on the light, and my hand slips, and both baskets, with all the watch parts, go flying throught the air, and on the floor.... "Oh, my, GOD" is sort of what I said... "Ok, don't move, or you may crush something..." So here I am in my workshop, with each and every piece of the movement scattered somewhere on the floor...in among the laundry, pantry, dust bunnies,..etc... 1 hour later, after going over each and every square inch of the floor, and finding one piece in the floor drain...I managed to gather all the pieces, nothing was damaged, and I got it all cleaned up and back together and running... I laugh now, but I was not laughing at the time, talk about a panic. So there, I feel better having confesed my sins. Wear them well and thanks for putting your faith in my abilities, eventhough I can be a clutz like anyone else... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfreeman420 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Wow. That is horrible. Glad you got it back together though. I would not have had the patience to look for all those tiny parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was horrible... It was not so much a matter of patience as necessity...what else could I do. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point mere mortals would start creating a story of how the watch was stolen off their desk and how it's gone forever. Then again, I don't think mere mortals get into watchmaking.
