Cheers if you have one...I had no idea that they existed!  

 
I do prefer the 360hz hum to the 300hz hum...though the later 300hz is more accurate.

The old 214 Accutrons are plenty accurate. A good watchmaker can dial one in.

Which reminds me, I need to take a couple into the shop. My Spaceview stopped running. I hope it is simply dirty and doesn't need a new coil.

I also have a funky 1970s blue Omega Constellation with a tuning fork. Not running and has a bad crystal, but the case, bands and dial are in fine shape. Picked up a NOS movement for it, too. I need to dig everything out and have my watchmaker make a nice watch from them.

The smooth second hand sweep, the tone, and rarity make those pretty special.
 
(I heard they eat batteries, but that is just one of the quirks of owning those.)
 
Hope yours get up and running so you can enjoy the sound they make!
 
Wow, I had not seen the Spaceview:
 

 
EDIT:  Can't we get a tube in there, Uncle E??

Does anyone have any idea what kind of watch this is?

Automatic, and very accurate one. Hardly gains or loses a second in a day, haven't adjusted it in weeks. = ) Dreaming of a Spring Drive powered Seiko next, too bad that I couldn't really wear it at work and that's a watch you need to wear, like automatics. Not a fan of winding machines or anything.
 
 
EDIT: Seeing some nice knives along watches in this thread, at least one Bob Lum I think. Interesting as quality knives are one of my interests too. Haven't gotten into buying one yet though, I have many too many things to spend on... xD Well, something connects headphones, watches and knives. I just have no idea what!

The new TTRS actually. And the watch is a Swatch.

Well now, THAT is interesting. Thanks. 
 
 
TheOtus - NICE seiko.. I have a Seiko 5 automatic that is my daily wearer - they are a fantastic value, and great looking watches.

here some watches got them at a auction

Cool. Of the 3, the Seiko is probably the best of the lot... should clean up and keep good time for a long while. The Ingersoll is a fun bit of history - being one of the rebranded dollar watch movements for the British market after WWII. Unfortunately, they tend to not repair very well - but sometimes you get lucky. Don't know much about the Sekond - I'd guess a Russian Seiko quartz clone...

Here is my daily wear Seiko 5... getting only slightly scratched up after 5 years or so of mostly daily use. I'll try to get pics of some of the vintage pieces later.

Is Omega's Co-Axial Escapement movement still having issues ?

 

[liamstrain]

No, the problems with the 2500A movements have been resolved - fixes are in place for A movements, and the movement itself has been superceeded by the 2500B that does not have the problems with the tolerances and shifting pallet fork.
