. . . behold: a Ulysse Nardin's Marine Annual Chronograph  > My Brother Mark sent me a Chronograph (Serialized etc) a number of years ago) - has a 'slight fix' it's in need of . . . special 'plastic' gearwork required - in Los Angeles, California - it used to keep going 'back' in time - to North Carolina (East Coast time) . . . very very odd - especially since i am here now ;) note: i have 'weird' properties in my wrist / left arm - sets Medical Neuro-Scan systems a 'little haywire' . . . ;)  BOINC Wiki . . .Science Status Page . . .

That's a fine looking watch, Richard! :]] I like the decorative anchor and the small month window between the 4 and 5. I like it's assymetric look, it looks 'roomier' and less cluttered than those watches loaded with 3 inner dials. The blue-to-red second hand is a nice touch too. It doesn't look 'off-balanced' to me, but then again I'm left handed. Good watch! Worth fixing imho. :]] ID: 736200 · |

just got a Seiko Kinetic, had it for 5 years, still works perfectly, no scratches, and it is fully water sealed had it down to 25 metres. I've never gone deeper and wouldn't wear a watch if I did, so it suites me fine.

My grandfather had a Timex watch back in the mid-50s, and lost it. He remembers what it looks like, but doesn't recall the model number, how would I go about finding it? ID: 738648 · |

My grandfather had a Timex watch back in the mid-50s, and lost it. He remembers what it looks like, but doesn't recall the model number, how would I go about finding it? I'd just go googling for images of old Times watches...Back then there probably weren't as many models as there are today...So you could get lucky and find the one you're looking for pretty fast...Perhaps Timex has a website page with vintage models featured on it. I did a search and found a bunch of watch images.  PROUD TO BE TFFE! ID: 738651 · |
