Re: Spinning rotor syndrome on my FLE: Cured?
Yesterday morning I thought, “I’m already having to send it in for service, why not give it a really hard crank and see what happens?” I grabbed the crown and gave it a HARD/FAST turn. There was a bit of a snap. Then I wound it, and the rotor didn’t spin. A bit of a panic set in at the snap. I set ...

1952 Vertex Pocket Watch - Repair advice
I never anticipated that I would trouble this part of the forum, but I have recently been gifted my Grandfather's silver Vertex Pocket watch which he received for 21 years service with his employer. (He stayed at least another 30 years!) It is in pretty good nick but it needs a little TLC. The glass...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement
Mine is back too. Exactly the same timescale so two weeks door to door to door is not too bad. haven't checked the timing but all seems well so far. Also came back with the black vintage oak I ordered in the sale having received the XS version and returned it twice(!) So hopefully all sorted. Such t...

Re: Time variance for date flip? 1:00 vs. 12:00?
Absolutely normal for this movement. I have had the same watch for two years and asked the same question! Mine changes at exactly 1am - still gets me every time !

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement
Well mine is all packed up and ready to go tomorrow. I have to admit to being far more nervous about sending this one than others. As it’s such a rare beast and the case back is engraved if it goes missing it will be much more difficult to replace…but the hand does bother me. Keeping everything cros...

Re: Best live albums
You beat me to it and it was indeed the album that got me in to U2, along with Wide Awake in America (Which only has two live songs , but the best versions of those songs!)
And I’ve seen them on every tour since!

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement
^^^ brilliant pic @Macdaz. I originally ordered mine on black leather; then changed my mind and upgraded to bader bracelet; then changed to jubilee bracelet. I imagine this watch is going to wear differently and well on any of these. I can’t wait :D Thanks. I’m really fussy with bracelets and only ...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement
IMG_3614.jpeg Quick first pic. I was worried I'd gone off the design, I hadn't. I was worried I should have ordered the black strap (I probably will get one to dress it up) but I really like it on the new camel. I think I'm quite taken with it. The texture on the dial is lovely but really difficult...
