What I Did On My Winter Vacation
Well, PART of what I did, anyway.A month or so back, I acquired a little Elgin DeLuxe Tonneau, from about 1945. It lacked a crystal, and the movement was 'runs and stops'. The hands didn't quite match, either.As part of my relaxation this week, I brought it back to life!This is a model Elgin sold for a couple years in the mid-40s. This one was made before the introduction of the Durapower mainspring, so there's no 'dp' on the dial.I had to go in to work to take care of my cells on Wednesday, so I took along this and another movement to clean. I discovered that the original blue steel mainspring had either never been replaced, or had been replaced with another blue steel spring.Completely shot. Pretty blue, though! Luckily, I have a 558 parts movement that had a Durapower spring that has lots of life left in it! It looked like this one:Today, I carefully cleaned all the jewels with pegwood, cleaned the pivots with pithwood, reassembled and lubed the movement, and now it's back in go

Which watches on vacation?
Here's sort of a spin-off of THIS THREAD: how do you decide which watches you take with you? I just realized I have pretty much taken the same 3 for the last several getaways.I have 3 criteria: function, camouflage and replaceability. I bring 3 for specific functions because I need one beater/beach/diver (the OM), one dress (the MLC), and one casual (usually the AT). Camouflage means how well it will fly under the radar. No sense getting mugged in a foreign country over your watch! Also, as I can't easily replace many of the vintage watches I usually don't take them anywhere. Not that they can't be replaced, but it would take me a very long time to hunt another down in the same condition. After putting anywhere from few months to a few years to search out the perfect example it would hurt to have to start all over again. While the MLC is a limited edition of 100 so it may be a chore to replace, it scores very high on the camouflage factor. So why do you or don't you take certa

Distribution strategy
What do you think of Omega's current push to limit AD numbers and move to boutiques?A couple of years ago you could easily get 30% off and today the few AD's left hesitate to go over 10%.I believe Omega is trying to increase brand awareness and allure, and probably increase resale values but I haven't seen used prices move up, have you?What do you think will ultimately happen? Will it pan out?
