Not a vintage Seiko but a John Deere X350. After 14 years of use from my Sears Craftsman...I felt that I had gotten my money's worth from it. I put it on Craigslist and sold it within 3 days.

I do all of my yard work and rarely buy anything new. This mower had a $300 rebate that expires today. I am good friends with the owner of the JD dealership and was able to negotiate a mulching kit as part of the deal. It has a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty and a Kawasaki engine. This is not your standard Lowes or Home Depot mower, it is the real deal. I am 61 years old but with good care it should last me the rest of my grass cutting days.

And no, I did not use any of my watch sale money to buy it. I actually over paid my estimated federal tax and my refund bought it. :grin::)

Balance spring

Does anyone do any balance spring work? I have a WWII German Army Syntakt watch that has a totally fubared hair spring. It came with the watch but literally was a knotted ball. Obviously there's no way of sourcing a genuine part for this. Do any of you fellas match up springs and do that type of work? I've already done a complete service on it, I'm stumped here though. (Yes, I have been careful handling that dial. It looks like lume dots around the dial.)

Would you give up a Limes Pharo for a Max Bill?

$

I'm considering sending off my Limes Pharo Handaufzug to a new home, and picking up a Junghans Max Bill. I've always loved Bauhaus designs, and I think the Max Bill will fill my dress watch niche almost as well, and will be a little less flashy - I'm not much of a gold watch or jewelry type. The Limes has spent most of the last 17 years on a shelf -I don't wear a dress watch more than twice a month. It has a nice display back and 18k gold bezel.

I know tastes differ, but I'm just trying to head off the regret train. These two are in a similar price range. I have a Minerva and a vintage Gruen that can fill in for civilized occasions as well.

I'm guessing most of you know what a Max Bill looks like. Here's a shot of the Limes:

6139-6030 Originality

Hey folks, I just got this watch in from a seller in Florida and I believe it is all absolutely original, but I would like your thoughts. All functions work well except that the date change and Chrono hands are a little sticky. The movement is spotless and there is no brassing on any bridges. It is running with low amplitude (130 deg) so it will need a service.

Everything about the dial looks right including the slight lume patina and the shorter baton at 9 o’clock. Based upon pictures I researched on the color of the hands I believe this is correct. The sweep is the right two piece one. Did I get this right?

Promaster Tough finish question

$

0
Been looking at pictures of the Promaster Tough BN0211-50E. I haven't had a chance to see it in person and I'm having a little bit of trouble telling if it has more of a matte finish on it or if it's polished.

Can anyone who already has one or has seen it in person help clarify? Seems like a polished finish wouldn't lend itself to the tough moniker but I'm not sure how I would feel about the look if it's not with the bracelet.

Hi all ,I'm looking to trade my 5625-7110 King Seiko, watch dates to May 71.
As you can see from the pics it's in nice shape ,odd scratch here and there but case lines are nice and sharp.
Watch is running and has kept decent time on the handful of times I've worn it[ only issue is that the quick set on the date isn't working ].

Watch comes on original Seiko croc strap with KS buckle .

looking to trade for a Diver or Chrono ,doesn't have to be vintage or Seiko :)

[ no seiko's with the big X on the dial please ]

I have been fancying another motor bike for some time now to play with but only a fancy not a REAL desire as some of the drivers on our roads these days leave a fair bit to be wary of.

Anyway I saw an old BSA on another forum today for sale that got my interest and I showed it my wife saying I wouldent mind this knowing what she would say but...............

She dident say no as I expected she would, instead she said buy it if you want to but don't come moaning to me when you get killed on it LoL

She called my bluff so I shut up :( but it was a nice bike :)
