The guy in Toronto? He tried to fix it but it failed soon thereafter. Very nice guy and well-intentioned so I didn't attempt to get a refund. On Sat, Oct 26, 2013 at 2:23 PM, Gary Hurst jabbahur...@gmail.com wrote: there are still watchmakers out there, but most will gouge you as they are

yeah, shane ede. did he explain why he couldn't fix it? i have a guy you can contact as well, but he is sort of retired (lives on 20 acres on the blue ridge parkway) and usually wants serious money to do a job his name is rusty tuggle. he can fix it but you just might not want to pay what it

heck, when i asked how water-resistant (not water-proof!) an old Elgin of mine was, the response from the watchmaker was: heck, that ain't even FOG proof! it's still beautiful, and like most of my old watches, it still works wonderfully. cheers! e On 24/Oct/13 16:38, Peter Frederick

Re: [MBZ] [Banned] the irony of it (watch related)

maybe if i wore it on the side of my wrist but the top part is pretty flat. it's more a novelty thing, a sales gimmick. if it really made sense, why are none made today and why were so few made back when they were being made? On Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 5:42 PM, Gerry Archer

Actually, there are quite a few of them kicking around, but they were high end watches, not department store mass market watches. 21 jewel versions are uncommon, but the 15 and 17 jewel ones can easily be found in decent condition. The Wristside one is quite rare -- very much curved and

Re: [MBZ] [Banned] the irony of it (watch related)

Probably worth a couple grand at the moment, they didn't cheat on the gold in those cases. I have a couple working Veri-Thin 12S watches from the 30's or 40's that are very nice and keep excellent time. I also have a nice Bulova 12S 12 jewel watch that needs a new balance staff --
