The sector at the top, is that the power meter?

The valjoux 7751 has that calendar ring too...not the reserve though. But alot of slickness to fit into movement. Annoyingly, they've managed to start making some lower-end knock-offs of that movement. That JLC...a real classy number.

As others have said...awesome watch. Congrats.

This dealer has been very good to me over the years. The Master Calendar Makes it a JLC trio for me.



In addition to the watch, they fixed me up with a bunch of JLC swag, since they will no longer carry the brand. The books retailed for well north of $100 apiece.



Factory photo of the back of the Master Calendar. There are 339 parts in there, with 41 jewels in the movement. It's a work of art.



Thanks for the nice comments.

I like Bullheads. The Seiko is a new one...I had one of the 70's Seiko Bullheads but got tired of winding it...

Hi SgtD-
Reading/replying to this earlier, the application made me scratch my head--
After thinking about this some more,
and after 'attempting' to line up my lovely Sector ADV 4500's dink-ee, low-contrast, minute hand using the mi-nute, anal, pre-WIS standards;
I bow to the validity of this watch face/explanation.

Now, if I could afford one. smile.

Well, I'm mostly a lurker on here because I don't have anything impressive. This Seiko has been my daily for about 7 years now:



I recently had the battery changed while on a trip, and the fuckers forgot to put the o-ring back in, so it got moisture inside.

I took the back off, and there is some rust colored grime on the surface of the movement and the battery was clearly shot. I've put the watch in a container of rice with the cover off to suck out all the moisture, but I'm wondering if I can clean the movement myself by dipping it in something? Or should I just take it to a repair facility? Or just buy a new one?

Could use some advice, thanks in advance

I'd take it to a repair facility.
Then I'd buy a new watch, since I'd need one while this one is getting fixed.

I'll use almost any excuse for another watch.

I'd say your watch is impressive. What model is it?
