What a haul! They are all cool in their own way, but the Waltham and Accutron are next level while being so different.Stretch44 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 24, 2021 8:35 pm Started the day with my G shock for HUISABH compliance. Ran some errands and when I got home decided to clean up my Goodwill haul. They cleaned up real well.
Wore the Accutron for a bit and then switched up the Waltham with good meal compliance. Tilapia fish tacos with black beans and cotija cheese. Really digging the Waltham and the smooth sweep of the Accutron is mesmerizing. Spring Drive what?

Signed crown and Inner Circle purchase compliance. Happy Sunday, Legion.
Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
I uh... I don't know what's compliant here. But this is what's on my wrist today.
Gonna send it in for a service. It's running 6 minutes fast per day. This is an early model, so its pushing 60 years old. I can see from the inside of the casebacks it's been serviced at least once in the 80s. So someone took ok care of this one. It would be a shame if I didn't keep up the good work...

Signed Crown Sunday or Citizen Sunday, but as you know, it's not mandatory, just for fun. And that Eterna is always fun to see.balcorn80 wrote:I uh... I don't know what's compliant here. But this is what's on my wrist today.

Started off not compliant with the OKEAH, but switched it up in the name of compliance.

Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
That is an awesome watch and I’m glad that you dropped in here to share it! I’m pretty sure that you have drum set compliance ! It’s really hard to go wrong with a drum set anywhere in a watch photo .balcorn80 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 11:28 am I uh... I don't know what's compliant here. But this is what's on my wrist today.

[mention]Split-Time[/mention] That drum set is actually a little kids drum set!!! I am a bassist, guitarist, and mess around on piano. I can play drums a little, but am no drummer. But with a grown up-sized stool, its surprisingly playable!
Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
Non-OEM strap for mod compliance. I forgot to take a picture yesterday, but this may be my favorite crown for signed crown Sundays.
Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
Hope everyone's Monday is swell.
I'm sporting this one today. It's a 60s Nivada Antarctic. And it has the cool lugs like the late 50s ones. But it's 36.5mm vs the 34.5mm of the vintage ones.
The hands that came on this one when I got it kept falling off. So I put this set on it.
Only the hour\minute are from a 2824 set, and I had to reuse the second hand. Because the seconds pinion on a 2456 is a different size than the 2824, but the other 2 arbors are the same(I'm likely not using the right word there...dammit, jim! I'm a mechanic, not a watchmaker!) So the seconds hand is too short.
But I recently learned that nh35 handsets will press on to the 2456, so now I can start looking again!

I'm digging this. Has JLC Master Control vibe.
