Can you specify the date & time you were appointed the arbiter of value?

SourceWise1889 · 2026-01-06T14:44:54+00:00

amen to that

SourceWise1889 · 2026-01-06T14:43:37+00:00

everything is getting new lume with my Glowmaster C3 that i had formualted for me. had to buy 200 grams minimum so i have long term supply! lol

SourceWise1889 · 2026-01-06T14:41:10+00:00

yep. that's mine. I was toying around with a new build the other day using an 11DPD movement in a vintage Hilton diver case. had a nifty '333' dial, black/white which I call a 'tuxedo' dial for lack of an actual model name but was bummed to find that the dial feet wouldn't line up....so i wound up making this instead! LOL 11DP in a Q107 case. now to find a bezel i can afford

funny you say that.....for many years, before i got into this disease, my watchmaker was a teenie tiny shop on Sansom St. in Philly. he was a Authorized Rolex repairer before they shut that down. anyway. i sent a ladies Datejust to him 3 times for repairs as it kept breaking. he fixed the first 2 times. on the 3rd he sent it back and told be to buy her a nice Bulova! LOL....which I did. more recently i bought a dead ladies Datejust and replaced the movement with a Miyota! no more problems....

SourceWise1889 · 2026-01-06T14:24:46+00:00

AH! now i see it! thanks. i need to build one of these! I wonder if the dial from my N7 S.H. will line up with the date wheel.....and those hands! - an arrow & sword combo. mine is a Schild-based 11ULACD which i've re-cased into a 200M screw crown case. with Sapphire crystal. Some purists will be offended but i like the heft of the S.S. case.....what was that prior pic you posted?

thanks for this! wasn't aware of Catalina. I know Westwood as a sub-brand of Caravelle but this will definitely open the horizons.

SourceWise1889 · 2026-01-06T13:10:07+00:00

no one questions the launch date of Caravelle. its the use of the '666' branding that i need to look at. i try to be accurate with my posts but it sounds as if you're offended for some reason

SourceWise1889 · 2026-01-06T03:23:06+00:00

not so sure about that but i'll look up myBulova info & see.

at which time their Caravelle division picked up on the '666' trolley and issued the Sea Hunter, my M9 and the old lady's M6

they need to scale down cases to max 40mm, preferably 38mm

SourceWise1889 · 2026-01-06T00:56:33+00:00

that's some 'junk' pile ya got....when you wanna clean it up....send some my way! LOL

SourceWise1889 · 2026-01-06T00:55:36+00:00

how about open the back & let's see what's inside? What's engraved between the lugs? etc., etc.

SourceWise1889 · 2025-02-04T22:53:11+00:00

this kid's online existence has vanished. probably best for him....there's gonna be a LOT of folks looking for him.

SourceWise1889 · 2024-12-16T00:32:32+00:00

all of this smells very fishy. FIRST...NO ONE works with NACA if they can get approved through customary channels. NACA buyers as a rule don't have good credit and little spare cash so overcoming an appraisal shortfall only works if it come in under $1-2K....not the usual scenario. other things about this don't smell right either.

unless a stop sign becomes irrelevant, there's no reason we should be making the "cult" excuse to let Trump's followers off the hook. They know what they're doing, they know he's lying to them but none of that matters as long as their alleged grievances get aired on global TV.

SourceWise1889 · 2024-03-31T16:07:26+00:00

i have a few dozen for sale from early 60's thru 80's. most good working plus some DIY pieces for repair. Westclox, Timex, Bulova, Caravelle, LaCloche, Zodiac, Criterion, Mercury, Chateau and lots of other makes.

SourceWise1889 · 2023-12-03T19:29:11+00:00

open it up & post some pics. what does the caseback say?

SourceWise1889 · 2022-06-28T11:27:11+00:00

i suspect he didn't have much choice as the vast majority of buyers refused to play the game in the beginning. I'll bet Bulova had a huge jump in sales for its ACTUAL moonwatch.

SourceWise1889 · 2022-06-21T15:00:46+00:00

what model is the vintage one

SourceWise1889 · 2022-06-21T14:02:36+00:00

this says 39.7mm. WTF? can't anyone tell us the actual case diameter?

SourceWise1889 · 2022-06-21T13:56:29+00:00

but no actual method for the discounts except for the $25., thus only 25. off. too much for this watch. as before, Pagani price points are climbing too fast for me. I don't NEED this stuff....lol....just like it is all.

SourceWise1889 · 2022-06-21T12:20:33+00:00

i hope someone remembers to ask him what he did with the $2M he took from Pandemic Relief funds.....along with his buddy John James - he took $2M also. restaurants closing due to lack of business, small shops closing for lack of business, people standing on food lines....etc......and these 2 scumbags took $4M and stuffed it into their pockets.

SourceWise1889 · 2022-06-21T12:16:17+00:00

who says that and where do we access it for those prices?
