Since Mike Nardick posted the picture of that backwards running Elgin, I've had this urge to make watches run backwards. This is number three. I think it's time for professional help! Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Sorry everyone. I had a kink in the telephone cable which prevented the complete picture from squeezing through. This watch will be going up for autction on eBay. I'm hoping to raise enough money to purchase a new LCD monitor. Smile Smile

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I will let you know when it goes up for auction. I'm going to carry it for about a week or two to make sure it's ready. It's running about 30 seconds fast a day dial up. The balance has a nice full swing to it.

The movement is a 6s, lever-set and 11 jewels.

Nice work. Why not go all the way and have mirror image writing as well?

Best regards,

Great work John, like everything you do! To say we're all impressed is an understatement, but once again we are amazed at what you can accomplish.

It would be great to see you hit a home run outta the park with that one... YOU DESERVE IT!
