Diagram of each part of the Elgin 760/761 movement
These are screenshots from a blog that had some pages of a service manual for the 760/761 movement series.I have grown to love mechanical movements, but I don't know train bridge from a car bridge Since Elgins are my thing at the moment, it is high time I learn about the parts that make my watches work.I hope you find these interesting as well. If these are too small, just right click to view and they should blow up to be readable.

Need help picking out first luxury watch
So for my 21st birthday I have a 10k budget to spend on a watch. I need one that I can wear with a t shirt all the way to a suit. I like the simple look but at the same time not too boring, want it to pop or stand out. I like the following watches and am open to help deciding or other suggestions. I'm 6'4" so 40mm up to 46mm. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Why no love for pre-loved Carbon Fiber Dials? [learning to sell]
I have been trying to sell one of my watches, a TZ 95+ Revue Thommen, on another watch forum for a while. Price as new is a hair over 1k and despite the $450 price-tag I put on it, I cannot sell it. Is there something I am missing? Why suddenly no love for carbon fiber dials? I thought this would have been the easiest of sales but - no luck to date. Price under half of retail - checkLots of pix - checkDetailed description - checkGood name of seller - check (as at last time of checking myself)What else is there to do, so I find a decent new home for a watch? I won't be posting links or pictures, as I'd like to keep this more in the learning side of things (what am I doing wrong and how to overcome it). Any tips and ideas welcome

Oysterflex White Gold Daytona on Grey Leather
Was thinking it might be nice to have the option. Unclear as to what it would look like I decided to make a mockup for a bit of fun. I thought grey to match the ¡°steel¡± dial might be cool. Now thinking black might be better. Will make that one tomorrow.Enjoy
