Diamond Cap Jewels on High Grade Movements
Diamond cap jewels on high grade movements from the turn of the century, real diamonds or just for show fakes? This picture is of a 21 jewel Riverside Maximus from about 1900, it has two diamond cap jewels. One above the balance wheel and one more just above the escapement wheel.

If nothing else they did get me started on what seems to be a very fun hobby. I am looking to step up a little on my next purchase. Maybe the $500 to $700 range. I don't think I will get anothe

Navitimer strap changing question
Hello, thinking of adding a Navitimer to the mix and would be looking at the 46mm as to utilize a lot of 24mm straps from the Panerai era I still have. Anyone done strap changes on the Nav? - is it difficult to get at the spring bars with the leather strap in place etc..Thanks!
