Watchmaker Compares Omega Seamaster Timepieces With Caliber 1120, 2500, & 8500 Movements
As an watches-dealer guest, Hugh Taylor from Xupeswatches-dealer (a pre-owned watches and luxury goods dealer in the UK) once again interviews their in-house master watchmaker, Mickey Nolan, as he proceeds to explain and dissemble three different movements that have all found homes within Omega Seamaster watches. Like many timepieces which have been produced for a number of years, the movements inside those watches evolve and change. Here, we go inside of the Omega caliber 1120, 2500, and 8500 movements to understand what they are about, how Co-Axial escapements matter, and what Mickey the watchmaker has to say about them.Several Fridays ago, while Twitter accounts across South East England ticked away with trademark Anglian wisecracks about how an unheard-of-in-these-parts 4.2-magnitude earthquake had toppled an alarming number of wheelie bins ¡ª ¡°We will rebuild!¡± ¡ª Owen (the photo wizard) and I nestled into Mickey¡¯s watchmaking workshop.We were at Xupes HQ in a peaceful town on the f

Well I was there but you'd never know it, even from the big group shot
That's my hairline behind Mr. K. If you look to the left of Milos you see John Holbrook, behind him a gentleman, behind that gentleman a pretty lady. If you look just above that pretty lady's head you see my forehead and hailrline even thought I was on my tippy toes. Oh well my friend can't be seen at all so I guess I should be happy.It was a great time Milos, thans for organizing. I did thank you and shake your hand as I left.JimC

Could anyone tell me about this Elgin watch?
I bought this Elgin at a yard sale today, but I'm not very sure if it is worth anything or not. Anyone know anymore about this watch? photo.jpg

Debri/dust on face of Khaki King; should I be concerned?
Hello everyone,I am new to the WTF as of yesterday; it's wonderful reading all of your posts, thank you!I have had my Khaki King Automatic since November, 2004. I had it serviced once, in 2006. At the time of service, the watchmaker said that the rotor on the watch was bent and they asked me if I had been rough with the watch; I had not, the most I have done with my KK is ride my bicycle, street only, and taken a few showers with it on. I realize showering with a 50m resistant watch was not a good idea and do not do that anymore. Anyhow, they serviced the watch, the rotor spins well now.I noticed a piece of dust/fuzz hanging out on the day/date indicator last year and was slightly stressed about it, but at least it stayed there. I just started wearing the watch again a few weeks ago and now the dust has settled on the face near the #4, and I've also noticed other tiny pieces of debri on the face. It's really driving me mad as I am obsessive about my Hamilton; it's my only one!My
