Mines going on boring adult stuff and the cost of living.
In other news I received the GP.
Pros:
- it looks nice
- visible condition is decent
- I think it will be liked
Cons:
- it is very, very stiff to wind relative to anything I have wound before
- it stopped a few times yesterday and has just stopped again
- after a wind and a wear and being left over night the power reserve lasted 7hrs.
- after extensive interneting I am 99% the rotor/weight has been milled out for some reason with a spacer ontop and a screw to hold it. So it should look like the nickle movement.
I want to take it to Alsal to have a look, but as he said they don't do eBay watches and only looked at the previous one as it was a present I feel a bit embarrassed going back immediately with a dud.

I fucked up not grabbing the one I saw, I think the price may have been a bit higher than two grand but not much more... TBH tho', my money's going into guitars from now on... As much as I appreciate watches I'd much rather invest the money in something I can make some noise with... 🙃
