Vintage Sandoz Automatic -Repaired!

Yes! The vintage Sandoz automatic that was in a bit of a sorry state which I found is now back in my hands, and ticking away happily! I am so stoked about it.

The lug was not bent back as mentioned previously, but I will leave it for now. A longer springbar was used to hold the strap in place.

The ever compulsory pictures to accompany this post (iPad pics first, as I'm now at office without my trusty camera):


Enjoy.

Bad Luck Today

Hit some bad luck with my new Casio Edifice EQS-500DB-1A2. I snagged it against a door catch and bent the spring bars, which came apart from the watch case and it fell onto the floor.

Fortunately, however, there aren't any scratches on the watch itself, surprisingly, since when it fell, it landed on the bracelet side, on a smooth tile floor. Even the bracelet didn't show much of a scratch, I am extremely lucky. The only damage on the case appears to be very tiny scratches on the side of the impact, which looks like wear against the bracelet anyway. Needless to say, Casios are tough.

I will be heading over to my watch guy for some new spring bars. 

Sorry for the bad pics, evening pics with iPad..
