Cal.986 balance shaft
I'm going to need a couple of balance shafts for my 986 movements. Any body have the part number if I can find them a la carte? Alternatively, are they interchangeable with other movements if I have to shop for them that way? I'm hoping the 987 will interchange because I have a spare movement. If so, that will get me started but I'll still need at least one more.Thanks in advance.

Generally this gets posted....
.on the Longines Forum, but it's appropriate for here. I was doing a little surfing on eBay and ran across the usual schlock. Some examples can be learning tools though, so here they are.Here's a textbook frankenwatch & redial. It has a good movement, but it was never installed in a Flagship by Longines that I know of:1956 LONGINES FLAGSHIP BLACK DIAL LARGE 37.MM CAL12.68Z - eBay (item 260631669041 end time Jul-13-10 20:37:08 PDT)These military watches did have 12.68's - but this is a bad redial:LONGINES WATCH MILITARY STYLE LUMINOUS NUMBERS 1940 - eBay (item 280527834221 end time Jul-13-10 22:05:51 PDT)Here's a completely bogus military watch.

A rare & cool spotting with tourbillon AP content
Saw this incredible piece worn by a true gentlemen at a Starbucks in Boston over the weekend, what a beauty! Wow I spotted the watch as we both entered, I immediately knew it was a 44mm but as I got closer I couldn't even believe it. Took the opportunity to compliment the watch to the owner as he told me the story about how the watch was delivered to him in Boston from an AD in St Barts directly in person. He was also a car guys and had a few other APs but we didn't get a chance to go into details....As we were ordering our drinks, without us knowing it, he had already paid for our drinks, pretty cool gesture I had a great talk with him and I will probably never top this spotting! lol
