Hello everyone,

Just satisfied my degree requirements last week, so have a little bit of time to post. Don't know how many of you run into watchcases that have worn or broken lugs....I had a Girard Perregaux watch case with the lug holes so worn I was afraid to wear it--there was just a thin band of metal left on the lug. I sent it away for plugging and redrilling of lugs plus refinishing. Very good job! This movement (GP 03bg, adjusted) has a nice looking star decoration over the non-shock protected balance jewel. I have not seen one like it before.

Well, congratulations on getting to the finish line with school!

Nice watch, too.

Thank you! Yes it was quite an investment in time and energy, but one that is well worth it. The GP's have a vintage look and great quality without the premium that similar Omega and Longines watches command.

      You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°

      In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

      My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄

      Thank you Mark it definitely makes the site looked much nicer. Although I didn't mind the ads as long as it helped to pay for the messageboard but sometimes when you had the feeling that there were more ads than message board yes it was a little annoying. Thank you
