**** More for a score - The old years **** entry's thread

[DJW GB]

So after some deliberation i have decided that my entry is the Prisma.

I had two other options a Sekonda and a Smiths but both arrived with problems, the Smiths has trouble with the hand adjustment although it winds and ticks ok

The Prisma i believe is a Dutch Watch i have found out due the miniscule amount of info available on the net. The only other one i have found is this expensive example, although it looks like it may be an electro-mechanical movement?

The nicely decorated movement is a FHF-96-4 Swiss movement from around the 70’s, at least that’s what it looks like on the Ranfft site here http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-...2uswk&FHF_96_4 .


I have given it a clean and a different strap and to be honest that’s all it needed. It keeps great time about 3-4secs a day. I like the way the colour changes with the angle from brown to grey.





All in it cost £16.00

Here's the original




and an extra from my travels




I've not been up Tower Bridge in several decades. Now it's all very civilised apart from one truly horrifying detail. Some madman has replaced an extended section of floor with what they describe as glass, but which I can confirm is in fact pure terror.

Exhibit A:



Now, as WIS, you are probably distracted from the evidence of certain doom by such a fine watch. However, by a simple change of focus, the full horror is revealed:

Exhibit B:


It was not helped by my daughter tunelessly whistling 'London Bridge is falling down'...

And finally, here is my entry. This was a last minute bid of desperation since none of my other possible entries worked out.

From the beginning, I was hoping to find a really cool travel alarm. I’ve seen some very interesting ones go for next to nothing, but no such luck during this competition. I am pleased with the looks of this one though.

This one came complete with the original box and a note on the inside that it was received as a gift on 25 April 1976, which actually makes it a birth year clock for me.



Beautiful blue sunburst dial.



And what really made this one jump out to me is the engine turned case.



This one came in right at £18 and slightly over £20 with shipping.

So here is my entry, slava travel alarm clock. when it arrived it was a bit battered and running slow. Sorted the timing out and a bit of a spruce up. Just under £20 Inc post
