OK, the only reason I wanted to start this thread is because I wanted to show an add I found on the web! But, if you have something you would like to share, please do!

 

Here is an add for a short-lived American watch company called Lancaster Watch Co (1877-1886).

 

I think it plays well today! Looks like it could also be a Vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle add as well!

I wonder why this product is no longer on the market?

 

I love the fine print! "Cleans anything that requires pin-point cleaning!" Really? Pin-point, from a can that SWOOSHES a 5cm pattern at a distance of 10cm!

 

Man! They could say anything back then and get away with it!

 

BTW, I just bought this cream that burns all of my belly fat away as I sit on the couch and watch TV!

Lol - yes exactly.

 

They should have said "Swoosh, I'ts clean instantly - then you can go and look for it"

I think these guys are still going - but this is from an October 1960 American Horologist and Jeweller magazine...

I think the website (watchmandan.com) is blocking direct linking which is not unusual.

Damn - that's annoying - such good adverts as well.

 

Perhaps you can just link to the actual page they were on Will - they will most likely accept that :)

      Tissot case back removal

      By watchweasol · Posted

      The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools

      I don't think I need to know more about the question now, so please don't write anything related to the topic. Thank you to everyone who wrote. Have a nice day.

      It's an exhibition back so no access as you suggest.

      Phinney Walker Mickey Mouse Watch HELP

      By Mercurial · Posted

      I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark

      Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
