A couple of weeks ago I picked a little Roamer out of a lot of three for sale on Facebook and asked the seller for a price on the Roamer only. It was pretty cheap, but the watch wasn't running and the crystal was cracked. I tracked down a crystal on a junk movement for sale and set about servicing it while I waited for the crystal to arrive. The crystal arrived yesterday and it fit (no certainty) so I cased it up today. It's not great on the timegrapher but it'll do. The brass rehaut and blued hands combine to give it a very attractive look.

BTW, Tapatalk seems to have reduced the sharpness of my images quite a lot - my old 'medium' sized photos were a lot better than what Tapatalk has chosen to display.

I’ve been forced to give up on crappytalk for photos. Image quality is pants and it now limits severely the number I’m allowed to post. I’m on the hunt for an alternative but no joy as yet.

I noticed that too with mine. I was like WTF I have the new iPhone. After I got the “met your monthly quota” message for the second month in a row, I decided to buy VIP. Lovely Roamer! I like the rehaut and case back font. Fantastic condition all around

Well let’s try uploading from Flickr on my mobile, hopefully I’ll get it about right. Had all sorts of busy day plans today but sat on the bathroom floor with my boy instead as he has a stomach bug and needs a bit of company in his travails. *Nope! Had to use desktop sites for both WS and Flickr.

Very cool.

No doubt Tapatalk will make this look shit, but in reality it’s a beauty.
