Seiko Solar Chronograph Black Dial Stainelss Steel Men's Watch SSC193

A new to me Connie. Opinions wanted.
Hello everyone. I'd like to share a recent find and get some feedback from you. I've been interested in watches for several years, but I've only recently decided to actively pursue the hobby. I consider myself a lightly seasoned newbie !My wife found this watch last weekend at an estate sale. I know nothing about it's history or service life.When she brought it home, I knew nothing about it, so I turned to these forums and the net and began hours of research (especially here and at Omega Constellation Collectors ). Here is what I believe I know so far(feel free to break out your red pens and correct me! )It appears to be a mid to late 1960s Constellation Pie Plate. It has double T markings that indicate it was once luminous on the hands and hour markers.The hands, calendar bezel, and star are faceted.Several of the batons are discolored or patinaed.The face is gold toned and has some patina and dust. It looks better in person.The lettering on the face is slightly raised under a 10x lo

Another Swamp Alert - Don't Trust The Box!
Somebody on Ebay has a listing for an Elgin Railroad Wrist Chronometer, but when you look at the watch, it's just a Plain Jain Elgin Deluxe from the 50s, which happens to be in a Railroad Chronometer box. AFAIK, the only 'Railroad Wrist Chronometer' that Elgin made was the BW Raymond. Originally these came with a 730A movment, then later the 780. Post 1964, I think, they also sold a BWR with a Swiss 21-jewel sweep seconds movement. Suffice to say the watch in the listing is none of these.This is one reason why I never base my watch identification on the labels on the box, UNLESS there's a tag which relates it directly to the watch. With Elgins, this would be the 4-digit case model number stamped inside the back.

Hamilton Lange?
I have a couple of questions about what I believe to be a Lange. First, am I correct from what you see in my photo? The case is three piece, 14K. I am not sure how these open and with the seals probably won't try. The dial is a buttery gold color. Overall, the watch is in extremely good condition, shows very little wear. Didn't draw much attention in the online auction. I was shocked.Next question, why would some of the cld models be marked cld on the dial and some not? Was it due to the fact the gold filled models were but, for the extra price of the solid gold models they didn't feel that needed to be stated?Lastly, what was the duration of production for the cld watches? I see the Lange in Tom's posting of the 1949 catalog but, am not sure how long they produced the models or what year mine would represent.Thanks,Rob

Bluesy TT vs Bluesy YG
I always have loved this watch. Just curious, with owners of either, which version do you find more attractive or stunning. I am not taking price into consideration...just the look of the TT model vs yg model.There r certain models that look better in tt at least for me...the ym2 with tt (ss and rg) looks stunning and so does the tt bluesy...but that yg bluesy also is stunning!

Changing straps/bracelet tool
Folks,I think we all know here, and I am sorry if it has been asked many times before... Changing straps/removing the bracelet on Rolexes is a beach! Can someone please refer me to a good place to get a pair of tweezers for me to change the bracelet? I am getting a colareb next week and don't want to ruin my lugs... Cheers!
