Pointer Date, how does it work?
First post on the site!
Continue readingI’ve been looking into getting a pointer date watch and I’m especially interested in the Farer Lomond II. The price is right and I love the look. I’m curious if anyone more knowledgeable than I am can shed some light for me about how the pointer date function actually works.

Hi guys! I finished servicing a Bulova 10BPAC a few days ago, and I have had issues with this mainspring since I first started putting it back together. I guess there’s too much friction in the barrel (used Moebius 8217 for braking grease), and it’s ca…
Continue readingA Real Talk About Water Resistance and Vintage Watches
I have noticed that the "party line" about vintage watches and water resistance is that, even if they are purpose-built for the task, no vintage watch (say 25+years) can ever be trusted to have any water resistance, and to treat them as such….
