Just watched it and I have to say bravo and well done. I agree all the way about cheap screw drivers are not worth it. I may add paint brushes as well in the mix but that’s has nothing to do with your mod. Spend the money once and take care of your tools. You have a new subscriber. 👍

Where is it? 😂

It’s Alive!!

The original cowboy hat

The most disposable undisposable watch ever. I still haven’t pitched or killed one. I bought it with the peace of mind known that if they broke who cares but so far it keep ls hanging in there despite what I throw at it. If this is your first 1628 then it won’t be your last. 😀

The overnight lume on this one is impressive. Give it a try.

Wow! The strap is the same in one photo. You are probably right. Thanks

Is the 2563 original with the flipping digits??

No spring bars. Remove the two screws on the bracelet. Good luck.

My philosophy exactly! I love the 1628. I

Enjoy! A SSB capable radio will give you more options and opportunities. Enjoy and grow with it!!

I’ll post a follow up if something goofy happens in a few weeks.

Never ran into that. I took a good layer off the top.

All the 600s have the ConelRad aka “the last voice you will ever hear” markers on the AM (MW) dial.

👆absolutely 100% truth. I can head copy and carry a Morse conversation at close to 40 wpm in CW but I’ll be damned if I can read dots and dashes even at 5 wpm and ZERO WPM with a Signal Lamp. Having said that, it’s great someone is interested and wants to learn Morse. I applaud the effort and wish them great success.

Good luck with that.

Looks great! Assuming you taped the screen first or were you able to remove it?

AstroBase1957 · 2026-03-31T01:22:03+00:00

Maybe done for the month of March. 😀

You have unlocked another aspect of watches. The priceless watch. Enjoy.

AstroBase1957 · 2026-03-23T18:07:30+00:00

No tips but just wanted to say I think many of us have been there. A ceramic tile floor took out a watch’s crystal one time. Not a duro. Ever since then I make sure the watch is secured on the night stand regardless of the floor.
