Box for the watch box View attachment 1677634
For the guy who was asking about the janky second hand on his Octo Finissimo, mine was the same way. I didn’t ask Bulgari about it. But I have a GP that exhibits the same behavior. When I had that watch serviced about 10 years ago, I asked about it and the GP watch maker told me it was due to the small seconds being driven indirectly as I recall so there is some play in the gears. I don’t have that email anymore unfortunately, but maybe that is the same reason for the Octo. I sold mine, but it is a terrific watch. I wouldn’t let that spoil your enjoyment. Great pick up.
Is that some sashiko poking through?
Any of you recommend someone to clean and service a vintage watch? I have a JLC from the 50’s that needs attention. I’ve always sent it back to JLC but I’m told it can be done for significantly less and just as well by a competent mechanical watch repair service. And what fee might one expect for a basic cleaning?
