An Elgin Of A Different Color...
Well, size, more than color.A week or so ago, my brother-in-law emailed me that he'd bought an old Elgin pocket watch on a site he'd probably prefer I not advertize, for $11. He was sending it to me 'To see what I could make of it.'I thought, "Aw, geez. $11? Probably a worn out rustbucket with a broken staff, rusty hairspring, and frozen keyless works." Well, imagine my surprise when it arrived, and it turned out to be in fairly good condition!These pics are actually post-cleaning, but clearly the engraving is still sharp and I see no brassing on the high points. The case is actually screw back and bezel, which surprised me since I didn't know they did that with 12s cases. Once I got the back off (managing not to screw it up TOO badly!), I found the movement to be much better than I'd expected. The balance was intact, no visible rust on the parts, and when I pushed on the center wheel, the balance took off running!I went ahead and cleaned it, and reassembled it, and it runs! It n

Help with Accuracy
HelloI am new to the forum and am the proud owner of a new Superocean, (Blue Dial).I have been monitoring the accuracy for a couple of weeks and have observed the following:When wound fully, 40 winds as per the Breitlings user guide, the watch runs about 11 seconds fast in a 24 hour period, which of course is well outside COSC specs.After running for 24 hours or so, I reset and monitor again for 24 hours. In this instance it is 3.5 seconds fast, which is what I would expect.Is this normal for the Breitling? I have other automatics from Omega & Hamilton that don't behave this way.Any help is appreciated.

PAM 422 Goes to Italy!
Hi All,I recently received a PAM 422 about a month ago as a gift to celebrate my wedding on Sept 26th. The first time I saw a Panerai I was immediately hooked, even if I didn't know it. At the time, I was wearing an Omega 2254 Seamaster, and the Luminor style watch with the large crownguard looked so different from anything else I had seen before. Although I thought the watch looked ugly, I felt inexplicably drawn to the design. My interest in Panerai and watches in general picked up, and I came very close to picking up a Zero or 112, but I ultimately held off because I decided to leave my job and go back to grad school.Fast forward five years and a lot sure has changed. First and foremost, is my recent marriage to a lovely lady who not only appreciates me, but also my passion for Panerai. In fact, she was the one who suggested I get a Panerai as my wedding gift! I hadn't really kept current on the latest models, so I spent about a month doing research on the web and trying out differe
