My Three Month Elgin Project is Done !
After three months my Elgin project is finally done! 1909 Elgin, size 0s, grade 377, HC, 15 jewels, G-S Curv-Tite Crystal, Brown Crocodile Band, Louis XIV hands, Royal Blue numerals and a fresh 14k gold plating.I just got the case back yesterday from the gold plating folks and put it all back together! Had them strip it down to the bone then re-plate in 14k gold including the original crown. I used a low number run (30,000) of an Elgin grade 377 15 jewel gilded movement, completely serviced. At this point the cost was about double over budget for the project so I spent even more on the crystal and a real Crocodile band. The band is soft as a baby's bottom, feels great! Finding the correct size cannon pinion for the Louis hands was the hardest. They were .01 bigger then I thought but it all worked out. Using the G-S Curv-Tite is my latest thing, it gives the illusion of two rows of gold bead minute markers. I love the true porcelain dials! They have that wet glossy look rather than usin

OK I'm here! Let's start the party!
Hello everyone.Many of you kept the same name from the old site, but I have changed mine...I was once known across the land as "TalkTime" but now, through innovations in board hosting technology, I can now be called: "J!m"

Patek 5712 and power reserve
Have a question in regards to power reserve on 5712. I know official site says that power reserve is 48 hours but was curious how much longer beyond 48 hours and if the watch would start running slower I took my watch off on Friday around 3 pm and put it on on Sunday around 7. So watch was off my wrist about 52 hours, and when I put it on I saw power reserve indicator was on the red but not fully out. I did not pay attention to see if the watch was running or not, but I immidiately wound it a little since the indicator was on low and bottom of the red markings. Later I noticed that it was an hour off. Being off exactly an hour (plus/minus few minutes) I didn't notice that the hour hand was off originally when I put the watch on.So wanted to know if it's possible for the watch to start running slower or stop while power reserve indicator is not all the way on empty? As I mentioned above, watch was off the wrist for about 52 hours.Thanks and have a great week everyone!
