Grandpa's Lester-back from the dead!
I would hope my grandfather would be proud. I finally finished the restoration (my first) of the Hamilton Lester he received in 1942. It was not running when I got it, and it looked like this:I cleaned and oiled the 982 movement, replaced the mainspring and crystal, ditched the awful stretch band and replaced it with ostrich, and here is the result:I ended up using a parts 982 movement to supply a few items that I managed to break during my learning process, but all in all, a rather successful endeavor!It is running well and looking good!

My next watch: Alpha chronograph
Firstly, here's the picture:Picture credit: Alpha-Watch.I'll probably order this one sometime next month. Just need to save up my rice-and-beans money - I'm poor, so this is going to require some saving up. It's a nice tribute to the pre-Daytona Rolex chronos, but the manual-wind movement, clear caseback, and lack of a third subdial at the six o'clock position puts it in acceptable territory in my book. I'll also put it on a black lizardskin band, and that will add to the costs (and time for installation). Pics will come when the watch comes in and the new band has been installed.

Just Arrived: My first Patek....Yes, it's an another....
5167I'm at the next phase of my horological experience or WISdom. What's better than to celebrate with a Patek!Here are a few quick observation from wearing it for the last 6 hours:+40mm on 7 1/2 wrist = Perfection!+The chameleon black/grey dial is unreal. Must have looked at the dial over 100 times today but still don't know what time it is.+The swooshing sound from the rotor is music to my ears.+Is it strange that I was smelling the strap during a meeting?+I can forget the Surefire flashlight. The lume will be sufficient to light my way in the dark.+Already have small scratch on the bezel. Hallelujah, now that's over with I can enjoy this watch. Every watch should come pre-scratched!

Just found an old receipt
In spring 1990 I ordered a SS sub date from an AD in Reading-UK who said they would remove the cyclops with a guarantee to do it ok. (I live in the non-cyclops department and my eveyday wear is a 114060) see here.... I had the phone call after 2 weeks back in 1990 and meandered my boney-ass down town to collect. I arrived to find a very apologetic Store Manager. He was gushing with embarrassment and told me that they had ordered the wrong model and had received a Sea Dweller instead. Would I be happy to take the Dweller at the same price of the Sub less ?100 with a ?300 store gift voucher! the papers I have show the MSP at ?1,697.So my Dweller T25 cost me ?1297 . I sold to a smashing collector when my divorce was strangling me.....now rebuilding a new life and collecting again
