Longbike, I also have being through a few non-starters. Not many people can repair them or seem to want to tackle them. I'm no expert by a long shot, but I have learnt not to buy any Aqualand that is not fully functioning. I ususally make sure the analog hands have moved in the seller photos. As the non working of the hands is a common problem ,mostly due to the old oil gummy up and stopping the movement. Otherwise my limits are just to change the 3 batteries and thats about it. Not sure how many in total I have ,but with the digital ones it might add up to maybe 10. The Neilo aka Aqualand King from the SCWF has a massive collection of Aqua's, while worth a look.

Aloha Sir, LongBike Thanks for the return post.
Hey finally someone. That's good to know, love those there. I have a lot of the other types but these C230's I have some spares for the parts sake. Working ones I have about .......... ( A Dozen ) , or so C230's. Some different in looks yet the parts are quite good. I have stripped down ones also, because I have found that they are quite easy to do, but after the strip down The kicking up to start is where a lot have failed. I have some choice ones and they work great. I have track of .... " The Neilo1 " and what he has, that is who inspired me to get a few because I like the looks of them. He has a huge collection also, and did good in collecting them. Now due to his accident and injury he is not active on Forums so its kinda hard to do these for now. He says that a friend of his does his watchs and he sends them to him for all repairs done to them. I read some where that a guy I think in Carolina or some where down there does them too. I have done a lot of research for them but limited information is to be had about them. (( The C230 series were a ..." Buy and send in Series Watch ". )) That's why there is a limited information given out for them. Well that's how some turn out, but I still have a lot of research on many watchs here. ( I find research on watchs and out them in a small Data Form on CD's for use if needed.) Aloha LongBike

Hey Yorkies got some more from the Main chest since you asked for ........... Aqualand Watchs.
These were in the big box so I got them out for you to see. The two top ones I am working on the movements, rest all run. Bracelet one I have a few more in the box. Desk is kinda small. Hope you like some of these, I'll make one more post with the other ones because I have to learn how to get that ( Flicker soon ). Two need crowns yet. There is more in the box Just click on the Pic.
