Cool hans, Sammie. I do like that hour hand! Roy. | |||

Wore this one today. I just got it a couple of weeks ago. The 10K GF case is in great condition and I really like the swivel lugs. It is one of the biggest Longines I have had. Just got done servicing it yesterday, but haven't made up my mind on re-finishing the dial. I kinda like it the way it is and think it looks pretty decent. What do you think? Adam | ||||

1939 steel full calendar Movado with 67 years of character. I will probably have the dial re-finished one of these days. Any suggestions ? | ||||
|
Looks great to me Anthony. Nice watch! | ||||
|

Adam, Great Looking Longines always one of my favorites. The dial might be able to be cleaned. Are you going to the National maybe I can see your Pink gold Longines like mine. I did not get the regional my back was out that day. Anthony, That is a nice Movado I would try cleaning the dial first. Longines for me today as well Rich Kuhn IHC Member 155 | |||

Thank You Rich No,my Movado,that's it after cleaning. She's a bit grungy but she's original and the patina does have its attractions hence my hesitation in having the dial re-finished. I can imagine it coming back looking just a little too bright and perfect,losing a dignity earned with age. | ||||

Rich, Thanks! I will be going to the National and can't wait! The last time I was at a National it was in Cleveland and I think I was about 12. I will never forget the ride home in the snow storm. I think that was the last bad snow storm Ohio has had. Anyway, I haven't tried cleaning the dial yet as I can't make up my mind. Sometimes I like the "aging" and sometimes I dont. Sorry to hear about your back being out during the Regional. Below is a picture of the Longines I have and to the right is the one I am wearing today. I like the assymetrical styling on the right one. Both are in 14K Anthony, Thank you! | ||||

Adam Two great Longines Anthony, Pictures before and after of a dial clean. care must be taken because you can loose some paint. In this case it is just a dial I had around in the parts bin. Before Rich Kuhn IHC Member 155 | |||

After cleaning the dial I went back to the parts bin and found the rest of the watch. The movement is a Felsa 690 automatic and is now running well. A good knock around watch. Rich Kuhn IHC Member 155 | |||

Its cold,wet and miserable out so what better a watch then this stylish Hamilton. I got it for free from my Uncle Sam about a half lifetime ago. All I had to do was raise my right hand. | ||||

I enjoyed my Ball 25J Auto with Canadian dial today. | ||||

Today I have on my beater,my nearly indestructible Rolex Submariner with no date but with the 1570 chronometer movement. I bought it new in Zurich in 1972 for about $350 . $300 was really the base price then $50? extra for the chrono movement. I preferred the cleaner lines of a dateless dial . It has been through **** and never failed me where as my newer 1992 Submariner with date and far more pampered existence has proven to be a little more delicate over the years. | ||||

My first contribution to Chapter 185... Well, actually this is the second wristwatch I've put on, for going to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra this evening. This green gold-filled Hamilton Tonneau (ca. 1929) has the original dial, and is very nice condition overall. Quite striking on the wrist, actually. | ||||
