It'll be 4th day with the old Seamaster 1040 though
Graham! Indeed, I had started a thread about my gd dad's watch 1 1/2 yrs ago. After that I spent months looking for mvts on line, "affordable" donor watches I would not feel bad about tearing apart for parts 
, looking for watchmakers who could fix it... finally by luck due to a defective Breitling I bought on the used market, I found the right watchmaker. I ended up sending it to Craig Stone of Illinois Watch Company. It took several months but was well worth it in my eyes! I am VERY VERY happy!
