Hi guys ...
Got a package in the mail yesterday from Fort Collins.
Have been looking forward to having one of these for a long time, but unfortunately the one I bought had some problems that Spencer identified when he disassembled the movement, it was rebuilt using a number of NOS parts and he did a great job as it has kept time to within 10 seconds in the last 24 hours!
The watch was reassembled with all new gaskets, a NOS crystal and bezel, using a very good sample case that I had.
The dial and hands were cleaned up, restored and relumed and I think they look great as well.
All in all exactly what I was looking for, I see a lot of wrist time in its future ... THANK YOU Spencer !!
I have a fishbone bracelet, that looks great, and it is now on the leather strap in the pictures. But I was hoping to have a few more choices, for example I was going to try a NATO or ZULU strap, but the space around the springbars is so tight I cannot fit even my thinnest NATO or ZULU strap.
Has anyone here found one that works well?
Please post pics of your bullheads on whatever straps work for you.
Here are a couple of pics (please excuse the dust)
