New member with an interest in Hampden's
Just like to say hello!I'm hoping there are some Hampden collectors and enthusiasts here. I like Dueber Hampden, Clinton era Hampden and Soviet era Hampden's.

*New Pics Added 08/21* Monster Mod Progress
I picked up a black Monster a while back for a song (had winding issues), with the intention of learning about what makes a watch tick. My plans were to bead blast the case and bracelet, replace the dial and hands, and fix or replace the 7S26 if necessary.After a few days of normal use, the movement appears sturdy enough for my purposes as-is - this would be an occasional wear piece for me, pulling yard work and fishing duty. I will leave the movement alone, at least as long as it's running and keeping acceptable time.So far, I've purchased a yellow dial and new hands, although I'm not sure how the dial will look with the stock chapter ring. Please review and give feedback regarding chapter ring options (there are not many out there for the Monster). Thinking about picking up a different dial and chapter ring. Anyone know of vendors other than Yobokies, OFrei, or 10watch?My biggest accomplishment to date was the completion of the bead blasting. Pics are before and after IMG_0681.jpgIMG

Perfect Patek?
I'm thinking about watch #2. Tend towards the sportier ones. 5712 is my current favorite Nautilus but I can't handle the day on face and not in a window. From a technical perspective is it hard for a manufacturer to put the date in a window? What is your perfect Patek? For me 5712 hits:Pros:Micro rotor with saphire backAmazing blue dialMoon complicationPower reserve complicationCons:Day on face of dial (not is a window)Small second hand (prefer centered second hand)So the closest thing to perfection for me is the 5960. It would be a stretch for me financially and for my comfort zone of actually wearing it. So sub $30K or $35K what is the best current Patek?

Sending a 1991 14060 to RSC for service
I bought a 1991 14060 private party and love the watch. Unfortunately, it has stopped working correctly (despite winding and a light shake, it'll stop every 30 seconds or so and won't continue). I've priced out independents and they're $500 +\-. RSC wants $700 plus parts. Given the warranty and resale bump by having an RSC service I believe I would rather go that route. I've heard horror stories of vintage dials being replaced, etc so do I write on notes dial and bezel not to be replaced? It also has what appear to be original unpolished lugs so I don't want to ruin them (it won't need much in the way of polishing as it has no significant dings). This is my first watch to send to them and I'd like a little input on the process.
