My daily watch is a 60s vintage Omega Seamaster chronograph. A manual
windup. Bought it in Honolulu when living out there.
I'll try the watch repair guy in Wilmette. Thanks for the tip.

HELLO ELIZABETH! LOL! (young lady , stay out of that darn corner....
:)
) fancy meeting you here! LOL!
ok, watches eh? about 3 years ago my father gave me his old watch in
a
nice rectangular spring open and closed presentation watch box wich as a
child caused one heck of a ruckus in my home when my late mother found
out
about it and i'd guess what it cost in 1960's dollars. i wear it on
ocasion it's a "heuer" "autavia"chronograph (with original band too!).
my
father used it to time his laps in car! now being the ungratefull child
i
am i thought , "great dad yer giving me an old watch!" now since it
has
ties to my father's racing i keep it well protected! and then i saw
what
ones without the wrist band and presentation box were going for...GASP!
and yes i have a few vintage pocket watches and some gold womens pendant
watches wich are family pieces put away.
so now how many of you collect model trains...........i collect vintage
HO
gauge (back to 30's era. not the railroad era , the time of
manufacture
of the model train item)
chuck.
