I have to say, this watch has become just as comfortable on my wrist as all the freckles and liver spots...  When I wear this watch it stays withing a few seconds of the atomic clock. It wanders perhaps +/- 3 seconds at most but is never faster nor slower than that. It's hard to believe this watch is a conglomeration of bits and pieces from generous forum members and Ramon's treasure chest. this is possibly the best and most consistent running watch I in my collection. Too bad the others only get a day or two of wrist time at most  |

That's why I own 5 of them and wear them all regularly.  |

I have two, and a couple of 7290s. They get 80-90% of my wrist time.

Guys,
The catch here is that the motor is a hot rod. I found and repaired a 6349(23 jewel variant of the 6309) and stuffed it in this case.
Total franken -7040 but I love it.
No question, the -7040 is not only an icon but one of the most beloved vintage dive watches we could ever want :dance:

Lookin' good, Pete. And it seems that watch has a few freckles and liver spots, too!  |

Nice hot rod, Pete...that was a great idea for a franken.
