It's like... you don't see something for a long time.  And then you suddenly see a plethora of them?!

This one I got for a great price.... seller said the they wound it and it keeps time... I just need to get a crown/stem for a 7AC movement.

1966-67 Excellency "D"...The Diamond edge crystal

Submitted by OldTicker on April 8, 2012 - 9:40pm

One of the first watches that I entered into the database over a year & a half ago was a 1966 17J White Gold Diamond dial that was unknown, it remained that way for a few months until one of our members, William (Scott) of Watchcrystals.net give it a ID as a Senator model through watch crystal spec's.

Academy Award Dials myth Busted

Hi All,

Been a while since I last visited since my disgreements with Stephen and site issues but that's past us now. This find is just far too significant to be kept hidden in my cataloge. For years we all believed all AA model watches had curtain textured dials. Last year that myth was debunked with the addition of a few new ads showing a 2-tone " X " or quadrant dial.

We have always disregarded plain Bulter dials as being used, but suspected maybe they were.

I've been watching for one of these for awhile.  It's a bit rough around the edges... heh (pun intended) but with a little love it from timemachines goldsmithing it should look okay!

The other two in the lot are just gravy and can either be sold as parts watches or parted out myself.

I'm very happy with the lot for $67 bucks... I'd have easily paid that just for the Physican.

Automatic forwarding of PM's to registered email addresses

Submitted by William Smith on April 3, 2012 - 2:32pm

There is an option on each members profile page which allows the member to receive a notice to their  outside emails when they get a PM.  I've had this option checked for months, but have never gotten a notification of PM's pending on site.  I've made sure my email is correct, and don't know why it doesn't work for me.  Is anyone else having trouble with this handy function, or am I not understanding how it is intended to work?  Thanks
