Was watching antique road show some lady found one but a nondate version one on the road like someone through it out of a car window it looked beat up and still had a crazy price even in that shape without bracelet.

This was years ago when prices were better, I sold it for what I paid at the time 700 bucks. To a guy in ...

Here is how it might have looked in a engine room from the book Chelsea first 100 years. Being a Tugboat maybe not as fancy. The USS Wando was named after an Indian tribe from the east coast.

This was most likely an engine room clock Ashton Valve Co. made gauges the size of this clock. The gauge was most likely hooked up to the boiler in the engine room. So, the clock might be side by side with the gauge so when the watch section needs to log in the time and pressor of the boiler. My clo...

I used to look at nautical antique shops that had websites they would have large early antique US Navy deck clocks with the ships name on them. I could not afford them I could just look and wish.

I had a problem when I had my local watchmaker serviced my Eterna Kontiki Super IDF. Main reason I had it service was it's time keeping was really off but when I got it back the crown when you wound it now made a clicking noise and the time keeping was better but still a little off. it was the secon...

Your right I never sell anything been years since I let anything go. Think the last thing I let go was a vintage Benthos 500 and that was a trade for a vintage Sinn 103 with a bund sweep hands and hand wind movement from a member here.

Well mine needed more than just the crown just got it back from Jack. Jack said the movement was tired not no more.

Just back from service just before Christmas took two watchmakers the first did give a refund then off to Jack, new balance, mainspring and a few other parts and fixing one of the hands so the lume don't flack off and get into the movement glad to have it back.
