freddy333 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 A well-loved and all original 1680. Silver flat-3 date wheel, replacement gen bracelet, and the flat-top cyclops crystal is worn almost into a domed shape. Now this is a watch that will warm the cockles during the cold, winter months. But, if you have not already done so, you might want to have a watchmaker fish-out the chunk (or chunks) of tritium that fell out of your second hand.

dieselpower Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Great watch Nanuq. Please don't get trid of that lovely patina. I didn't think shiny shiny was your style anyway. Well may you wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chino Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 wow Nanuq, she's one foxxxy ol' gal... please don't take her to the plastic surgeon and have her wrinkles removed... To my eyes she just needs whats she's missing: a vintage pearl and a second hand's lume... or leave her just like that, don't turn her into Dorian Grey... and please, stop plishing the floor with that watch!!

alligoat Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I agree with Freddy, you might want to have it serviced or checked out to make sure the tritium from the seconds hand didn't land in the movement. Considering the condition of the watch, a service is probably due. I have seen where watchesandparts over in Hong Kong has had some of the vintage tritium pearls for sale lately that would fit that bezel insert- the nice and brown aged ones! BTW, that looks like a 24-702 crown- the earlier style prior to the 24-703- no gasket on the outside of the case tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chino Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 that's a lovely watch... I've lurked in this thread just to see the watch several times today. thanks for the beautiful view Nanuq... I think I'm in love with your watch!
