P4GTR Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Have a look at the time my 177H came to a stop after not being wound for a few days. What are the chances? Its dead on, literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TTK Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) Not really.....you often find that as the power diminishes.....it has enough to take it up to the horizontal....but not enough to overcome gravity past that point......does happen but not often....!

jfreeman420 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 We all just experience what seems to be a watch miracle and TTK has to go and deflate it with a scientific explanation. My faith is once again broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point. BUT.. It still chose to die at precisely the stroke of midnight. The chances of that exact time with a 50+ hr. power reserve is crazy. :velho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gioarmani Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) That's cool. Check out St. Stephen's clock tower ("Big Ben") when were in London 3 weeks ago. Two different times on each side of the tower & the same time of day; must have been closed for repair: That really screwed with my jet-lag, considering I didn't have a watch on.

section8 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 That's a beautiful strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 No date function Nanuq. Just hour/minute/second and a posessed movement. This watch came to me with a tangled mainspring and did not work correctly. I fixed it and gave it a chance at new life. Maybe this is a sign.
