I fitted a NOS crown to this J13086 C22 Sealion the other day - and it was one of those jobs I wish I’d never started. It was a bitch to get onto the case tube, so much so that I ended up breaking out most of the rock-hard gasket to get it to fit... And then I had to fit a new stem, which also proved to be a challenge. The keyless works on these older handwinders are, well, troublesome - often the clutch ‘flips’ when trying to fit the stem. And that means having to take down the dial side to re-seat it, in this case three times... So, any dust or anything that remains under the crystal is staying put, as I’m not opening this one up again if I can help it!  |

Can't seem to shake this one off. Hopefully should finish reading this novel today.  |

Been a bit hit and miss with posting this last week but I've had this on for a few days, really digging the strap/watch combo:   7619-7010 Deluxe from June '65 |

First day back in the city for a face-to-face meeting with colleagues in almost two months. Outside my building, which will probably be closed up for another month or so.  |

This for me. I’m not so in love with it at the moment, maybe time to try it on a strap again or a different bracelet.  |

In 'advanced' mode (and don't care what time it is anyway).  |

It's hard to photograph the grayish blue of this dial  |
