Running Funny
Okay, so my 1956 Seamaster is already doing funny things. When winding, it feels as though the mech is binding. The second hand now skips a couple of seconds every 12-15 seconds. Suggestions as to where to send it for service/repair and an original dial??

Hamilton Stories
My apologies if you read this story in the Invicta forum but it is Hamilton related times three. foghorn suggested I tell this story, so I shall.In the 1960's, I purchased a novelty watch that was advertised in Esquire magazine. Turned out that it was a 17 jewel mechanical (wind-up for you newbies) made by the Hamilton Watch Company, then still an American company in Lancaster, PA. I loved the watch, got lots of comments on it and I had a chance to buy a similar one, also a Hamilton.Fast forward to the 1970's. . .

Hey guys I wanted to share two things with you.ANDI think this one is American too I would love to know anything else you guys can teach me about both watches. The Bulova movement is amazing. I've never heard such loud clicking when it winds. I love it.

Westime Beverly Hills?
Do they have a decent stock? I'm going to LA in a couple weeks and I want to see some APs in the metal.

Rolex Accuracy Revisited
There have been countless OP/threads pertaining to the everyday accuracy of a COSC certified Rolex and those concerns are often justified (to some extent) given that one is paying a premium price for a premium mechanically engineered timepiece.That said, perhaps it is time to draw the line on unreasonable expectations and any potential disappointments. Case in point. My 16610 is currently keeping time to within +1.5 seconds per day and that amounts to roughly +45 seconds per 30 days. On the other hand, my Seiko 6T63 chronograph is running within an amazing +1 second per month. While we are comparing apples with oranges, two additional factors need to be taken into consideration.The COSC rating for a mechanical watch is -4/+6 seconds per day and for a COSC quartz model it's +/- .07 seconds per day. Anything above or beyond those figures is an added bonus. In the case of ordinary quartz watches, most non-COSC models are rated at about +/- 10-15 seconds per month and as far as non-COSC me
