Battery change...

Just noticed the wall clock in my house is not running. Battery change... This time, a wall clock. 

The wall clock... :)


The movement. Powered by an AA battery. 


Likely the easiest battery change I have done. :)


The new battery in. Wait and check that the clock works. Since the clock does not have a seconds hand, we need to wait for the minute hand to move. 


About a minute... :)


Back on the wall....


I wish....

Lume shot, new toy....

Got a new toy to play with and review...

At full charge, after 2 minutes under my table lamp.


Full charge, normal exposure to light.


Any guesses?

Signs...

As I wind down from collecting watches, I was thinking about maybe a final watch to close the collection. I was thinking about this while driving. And what do I see....


Pam00372 maybe? Panerai Firenze Boutique Edition maybe (PAM00605)?

Brushing.. Now complete

After spending a couple of hours brushing and changing a couple of different types of 'scotch brite', I am basically happy with the result.



I prefer the brushed finish as compared to the polished finish of the original.



There are still traces of the polish finish, especially at the edges of the lug with the case. I will still continue to brush the watch and adapt the 'scotch brite' to brush those hard to reach places. I am also looking into investing in a Bergeon Scratch Brush Pen.


Or maybe this might help?

And no, it is not a 'scotch brite' but an Omega Microlon Pad. It is used to refinish titanium watches like the X-33.
