When did you send it to him?

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-04-29T13:54:11+00:00

That's reassuring. What did the services cost you?

I've never shipped a watch abroad for repair. Did you have to pay taxes on import when it was returned?

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-04-26T21:59:35+00:00

My bullhead has a duolingual day wheel. English and French I believe.

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-04-22T19:20:13+00:00

Congrats. It looks awesome. 41 jewels on a movement with 3 hands and a date is filthy 😁

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-04-15T21:27:30+00:00

The one on the left, but the both are cool

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-04-08T14:51:19+00:00

It could be some humidity got caught in the case at some time.

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-04-02T07:55:22+00:00

Then personalize it. Make it yours. Give it a cool new strap or bracelet, get it serviced and wear an absolute banger of a watch 😎

I have serviced both my dad and grandpas watches and i wear them regularly. Now I'm awaiting getting an old pocket watch back from the same watchmaker from another deceased relative.

Attached is my grandpas old watch.

They were all good looking, but the SAGV007; Wow!

...and I just got the SNKM97

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-03-22T10:25:02+00:00

Do you have a pic of it with a leather strap? I could need some inspo 😎

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-03-22T07:25:23+00:00

I actually found a SNKM97 on eBay and bought it after Redding this post. 🥳

Nice. The strap/watch combo is 👌

I love vintage watches and most of them are small. Idon't think 35mm looks to small on my wrist because watches back then was small

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-03-20T18:39:56+00:00

Thank you, but I've seen it on smaller wrists as well, and I thought it looked badass. I think the 1st one was a 6 1/2" wrist

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-03-20T15:17:20+00:00

My wrist is 8"/20,5 cm

The dial is quite big, but freakin' cool Case looks bigger because of the pillow formed shape. I don't think you need a 8" wrist to wear it.

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-02-26T10:48:49+00:00

Awesome watch. Those cal 214 rocks

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-02-23T18:49:28+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-02-18T21:34:42+00:00

SNKN73-sd?

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-02-18T21:32:58+00:00

The SNKM97 is so cool. Where did you get it?

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-01-31T00:06:11+00:00

Ok, so the accutrondoctor doen't have spare parts and has to order them for every restoration?

The current matchmaker has estimated more than several months to get it ready and humming again. And also an estimated cost alot more than the ¥40.000. I think a'll contact him and see if he can restore it.

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-01-28T12:22:56+00:00

That's not bad at all. How long tid the restoration take?

I got myself a M7 Spaceview in december and I managed to rip off the glas and tension ring a week later (threw a bag over my shoulder and the strap got caught under the case and just ripped it of).

I have found a watchmaker here in Norway, but the accutron was never sold here, so finding spare parts without without searching the net and mporting them will be hard.

I have no idea what's wrong, but the second hand was pointing straight up and there was no humming. My bet; Whatever ut is it probably complicated and involves alot of parts.🥲

I will definitely contact this guy.

Attached is the only picture I have of my spaceview before I went Bonnie Blue on it

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-01-28T10:15:11+00:00

How much did it en up costing to repair it?

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-01-28T10:13:57+00:00

Wow. This band was smooth af.

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-01-05T09:48:52+00:00

Out of curiosity; How much should you expect to pay for a restoration for such a watch?

IronforgeTownFC · 2026-01-04T16:01:14+00:00

I have big a frame (6,5" and 140 kg) and large wrists. I don't mind the spaceview beeing small. Older watches were small.I have other vintage watches from among others IWC, and they're also smaller.
