JustJames Posted 17June, 2013 Report Share Posted 17June, 2013 What does Fly-Back mean? I've always understood it to refer to the movement of the hand(s) back after using the stop watch. Happy to be corrected though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 18June, 2013 Report Share Posted 18June, 2013 NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!! The Boxster "speed chrono" watch Going through the watch collection this morning and found this in the box. I don't wear the watch because it is a bit too large for me. I have no idea how it has happened. It has been in the watch collection box for about 5 years. Now to try and find and then get a new band fitted Damn...Spewin..... update....Paul from PCM on the case for me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 19June, 2013 Report Share Posted 19June, 2013 Bugger! Probably been a split in the rubber/plastic/resin or whatever it's made out of and it's just deteriorated over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murf Posted 19June, 2013 Report Share Posted 19June, 2013 Damn another thing I must spend some time investing in. I am in love with this watch. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271203708334?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 19June, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 19June, 2013 @Niko: Is it rubber. In the end the rubber bands deteriorate anyway IME. Hopefully the maker has planned for this and you can get a replacement. @murf: Heuer watches bring back all those 70's motorsport images. Not the same watch but there is this in Melb. http://www.thewatchgallery.com.au/shop/heuer-1970s-ref-2446-manual-valjoux-72-chronograph-autavia-on-original-bracelet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 19June, 2013 Report Share Posted 19June, 2013 @Niko: Is it rubber. In the end the rubber bands deteriorate anyway IME. Hopefully the maker has planned for this and you can get a replacement. It is rubber Doug, with the inside of the band designed in a tyre tread pattern. I really can't see how it has happened. Rubber is in as brand new condition it has been in a box hidden away for five years and probably worn two maybe three times in it's life. looking at the band you would say it is in perfect condition with no deterioration. Strange..... I will give you a look at it when we catch up. PCM are making enquiries in the USA for me, I have also sent off a couple of emails over there.

withers Posted 19June, 2013 Report Share Posted 19June, 2013 Niko, maybe it was due to how it was sitting in your watch box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 20June, 2013 Report Share Posted 20June, 2013 Mmm, maybe A, anyway just hope it can be repaired be a shame if It's buggered. Looks like an integrated case and strap is that right? Do you know who makes the watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 20June, 2013 Report Share Posted 20June, 2013 Yes the band is one piece and completely envelopes the case. Has no actual brand name anywhere on it. They are/were sold by PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 27June, 2013 Report Share Posted 27June, 2013 I wish you all the best with that one Niko.. I know the watch has sentimental value, so here's hoping you can get it fixed easily! Niko and I were chatting about his lovely vintage Seiko 6139-6002 Chronograph. So I got to looking at vintage Seikos online. Some of the Seikos made in the 1970s were really cool, for example: 7016-5001 - now I love this one.. I'll be on the hunt for one of these as alternative to Heuer Monaco 6138-0040 "Bullhead Seiko 6138 1976. Seiko 6138-0030 Speedtimer Like the air-cooled 911s we all love - I think you'll agree these old Seikos ooze the same sort of style and iconic status! Best part is they don't cost a fortune!

withers Posted 4July, 2013 Report Share Posted 4July, 2013 WOW Amanda, your on the ball, you must be into "Rolex's" At one point or another I've owned them all bah a Daytona! Love Rolex, they are brilliant watches. I don't have any now as I had to part with some things to buy my Porsche. I'll get another in the future:) Rolex is an amazing company too still private and donates its wealth to charity. They make a million watches a year and they all get sold - well to Authorised Dealers that is, from there they might sit around! I'm sure many people don't know this about Rolex.

withers Posted 5July, 2013 Report Share Posted 5July, 2013 Girly NATO's....whatever is the world coming to! I used to have a black and pink bond nato. One of my friends is color blind and went thru a phase of collecting vintage Rolex watches (as you do) so I have given the strap to a mutual watch dealer friend hoping we can get him wearing it as he won't know it's pink! And if he reads this thread - I'm sooo busted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
