I originally posted this in the Vintage Forum, where it was suggested I try here, too … so that's what I'll do

I currently have another "project" with my watchmaker, a Lord Elgin "Panorama" (which was part of their "Horizon Series", a group of watches where the watch crystal overlaps the outer edge of the watch for a "borderless" look). So far, so good, but a previous watchmaker had damaged the part that keeps the seconds hand running smoothly, i.e., it now "stutters".

I have read…

Looking for … Lord Elgin cal. 724 (or 716) – part that keeps the seconds hand running smoothly

I'll do the honours this time and open a thread for the new month.

Currently wearing my Enicar Sherpa Star that has recently come back from my watchmaker. I always wanted one of those, with the "volcano / bark skin" finish… I also lucked out and found an Enicar bracelet that is a 90% fit (with a slight gap to the case, and a hammered instead of "bark" finish… but hey).

Sorry for not setting the date to the first, but being May Day, I was a bit lazy

Wishing you all a great start to…
