Watches

Well my supercharger may have to wait. I've have always liked breitling navitimers but have not been impressed with some of their issues/quality. I have a lead on a Sinn 903 that has navitimer roots. I will probably cave.

Oris Aquis. My 60 th Birthday present to myself. I think I like it. More pics coming hopefully. The blue dial is beautiful!
 
I also ordered a Hadley Roma watchband for my Rolex from Amazon. The shipping envelope came with a small slit in the end of it and no watchband enclosed. After multiple emails and a picture sent of paperwork, nothing has happened except I was charged for a watchband some crook took. Sucks. This is the watch I was going to send to gsimmons to “tune up”. Maybe Amazon and I will straighten this out and I’ll have pics of this too.....

Found this watch in this box , also found a Longines . This is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic. It seems to have some value. Score!
 
CAF572B7-7305-47CE-82EB-886EAA2E5136.jpeg Also found this in the same box. It’s a Hampden. They seem to be famous for pocket watches, but I’ve been unable to find out anything about their watches. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Futurematics are interesting watches, the one I had had long thin curved lugs. There were a few different styles of dials as well. Great find!
 
My father in law was a jeweler in Clayton for 45 years. I’m just now going through his stuff. He died several years ago and we kept all his stuff. I still have his work bench with all his tools and stuff. Tons of Timex’s, Hamilton’s etc. Sad but cool stuff.

Not to be a scavenger but I'd love an older Hamilton.

Did you get it? You’ve been mighty quiet lately. Are you ok?

Well I didn't cave but he's still offering it to me at a steal. I may have to sell some guns that I don't want to to come up with the extra dough.

I did buy this however.

@amnesia I was just at East Coast Classics a few days ago. What did you finally settle on?

... and obligatory watch pic. I just put a Seiko Diver band on for the summer for this Seiko Solar.

One of the coffee cups I use at work, along with one of my EDC knives...oh, and a watch :D That's the old band on it.

Ahh, did not pay attention to the new balancer. [emoji58] I have never heard of that brand. What kept you from going with a p1sc or paxton kit?

I called around to five or six tuners and they all recommended A&A for my power goals. The install is pretty simple and easy to tune. The power band kicks in after 3.5k rpms so I don't have to worry about constantly feathering the gas. Also, the forum board folks recommended them.

Hopefully it wont take all that. Thats been my plan for a long time. However, I have found that my traction problem is due to wheel hop. I guess the factory rubber bushings are worn from my frequent improper starts. Hehe
