I sell new watches for a living and collect vintage watches
as a hobby. I thought of a challenge to save myself a bit
of money by learning how to do simple repairs.
I have worn each of the three watches to work,but
nothing gets the compliments than my Palomar, with
its knotted lugs.
Once the two Elgins are completed I'll put together
a photo on the New Arrivals for everyone to enjoy.
Coming back to your comment,Stew about the Omega.
I feel no sense of loss on the Omega,it was a timepiece
that was just a bit too delicate to wear everyday to work.
I mean,putting a scratch on the crystal or on the
watch case, when opening up display cabinets was
too unnerving for me.
To me a watch or your favorite timepiece is a friend for life.
Cheers,
Simon
