    Thank you(I'm a watchmaker). Some non watchmaker type has tried to get the pins out and turned the "screws" on mine too! So the pins are jammed in so tight I haven't been able to get them out. Of course I haven't really tried that hard either.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Wish I knew that before I sold my Omega Speedmaster professional on ebay, cant complain as I made a good profit but the small hour pointer had stopped working, plus was looking a bit sorry for itself, sold as a working watch or spares etc, loved the watch and used it every day, had a quote to fix and service etc, but it was more than what I paid for it.

    When the lotto numbers come up, I.ll be looking for a pre moon example.

    I had a pre-moon a long time ago as well. They are the nicest of the speedmasters I think. They were one of the things the astronauts treasured the most from the Apollo missions.

    I have post moon model serial number 633. I used to repair the 30T2 type movement Army/RAF Omegas. I knew it was going to be a good week if I had a load to overhaul. Just to unscrew the back and feast my eyes on the wonders of the workmanship would make my week complete

    Wow Peter is there anything in MOD inventory you didn't fix?
    Having said that we may have drifted off topic just a tinny bit.

    Any of the bigger Timpsons should be able to replace the glass on your G-10 CWC watch Big boy, if they have the spider cramp. It's a standard size. My forte was just the basic infantry instruments and small arms No4T. Alas, there are no instrument trained Armourers left now

    [QUOTE= Only to be told that we had to wear ties and a bloody jacket! We should have known really..... But if we went out into the back room and drank our couple of beers and crisps it'd all be sort of OK unless the Orderly Sergeant saw us - which he did!

    /QUOTE]

    Reminded me of the "Erol Flynn" character in the McAuslin Novels by George McDonald Fraser. The waiter told Erol he couldn't come in unless he had on a tie. Erol used his pistol lanyard as a tie, and dared the waiter to say anything.
