I will change the buckle to brass, nickle plated and aged a bit.

Ah yes, the stem can sometimes be loose and slip, it's the loose screw.

Looks familiar by any chance did you got this watch from a UK seller on ebay?

Welcome to Homage forum

Handsome build- welcome to HF!

Timelost: yes

Welcome you definitely have found a great place with awesome information and members to appreciate the journey

Welcome! Hide your wallet

Welcome

Still liking the "hide your wallet" post - lol!

I got my watch back, even though the spare parts have not arrived yet. The watchmaker applied some magic, and it's working well.
I am just cautious that it will jump again, winding her up or setting the time. But for now: All good for Christmas!

As for hiding my wallet: Yes, I bought one from a forum member, and left a deposit for another.
It's like a virus, and my excuse is: I live in two different countries and need two off on either end of the world

My mate in Venice is busy "diving" for remaining 3646. He showed me his palace once (Nov 2000) and I would not be surprised if his aunt has a few in one of the drawers. (I can dream)

Enjoy the festive season, and don't wear your watch on the right if your are right-handed. I bumped mine a few times!
