You watch IS very special BECAUSE it is a 19 jewel model which has Jeweled motor barrel. In my opinion that makes it a better watch than the 21 Jewel Riverside models which did NOT have jeweled motor barrels, but rather had 2 pairs (4 Jewel total) of "cap" jewels added to a 17 Jewel movement to make them qualify as "21 Jewel".

Jerry, aside any consideration about IHC185, things have a force themselves ..., I'm sure I will really enjoy it ! (and David himself will look into, a real first class certification in any sense : I'm a lucky guy, isn't it?)

Mario, Your watch arrived here in very good condition. It has beat error <2 msec, and timing reads >17998-18002<!

I took the pictures after I had replaced the broken adjustment screw and put in the missing stop screw. Before/After . . .

My assistant Dannielle advised you via e-mail the USPS and UPS charges for your advice which way to send it. Please reply to her and we will send this to you when the other parts arrive from Brian.

wow, David ! newbie's fortune it seems. Besides the error, 2 msec ... incredible, DO is a fine watch, I would have loved it with 2 sec error, be sure.
I don't say a word about your kindness ... simply I do not know what to say. I only hope that you will land in Malpensa, sooner or later.

As far as shipment, I have just received the email from Dannielle and answered her back.

What a watch ... and I've been lucky not just for that.
Thanks a lot, David

Wow. Dave, and others here, this is really a great organization. Well worth the $12/yr
