Panos has bought this beautiful Citizen from me. Back in 1963 it was the thinnest sweep second hand watch in the world being only 2.7mm thick!
The watch has a broken setting lever spring and is not running like it should.
I bought this lovely little Cyma as I like the unusual case design and the black and copper coloured dial. In my opinion Cymas from the 40’s up to the 60’s are some of the most undervalued watches on the market. This watch is hardly running and needs a little attention. Continue reading
Andrei has sent in his Soviet classic in the hope of getting it working again as it should. This model has a lot of history in the Russian air force and a modified model made it all the way into space with Juri Gargarin.
The watch is not running and has received a lot of action in both the hands of the owner and previous watchmakers so I knew this would be a challenge I was accepting.
It is rare to find the Revue calibre 87 and when this one showed up I had to get it.
This watch has a special place in my collection. When I was 17 I bought this watch from an antics store and it is the first proper mechanical Swiss watch I owned. I wore this watch until it “suddenly” stopped 4years ago. I delivered it to a local watch store in Oslo just before setting off for the Danish school of Watchmaking, but he never got around to servicing it. I picked the watch up last time I was in Oslo and now it is time to get it running again.
I like the early 60’s Citizen watches as they made some unusual and funky watches. And this watch is defiantly something special. The watch is in nice condition but could do with a service. I’m not sure about the calibre number; so if there are any Citizen experts out there please enlighten me on the correct calibre number;) Continue reading
Torsten has sent us this funky looking watch. The movement is from the first generation of mass produced ESA/ETA quartz movements. It runs, but drains the battery within hours.
Oliver has sent in his Speedmaster Reduced, looking a little worse for wear and it’s not running.
I have been waiting a long time to do a Dubois Depraz module, as they have a reputation of being fiddly and parts are hard to find. Continue reading
I have a soft spot for transistorized electronic watches so I could not resist this super cool Seiko EL 370.
The watch is running but the date does not change as it should.
