: Thanks for your kind offer, Chuck. To my embarrassment, I have to confess that when the watchmaker told me that the 'main bearing' had gone and that repair was not financially worth considering, I took him at his word, and just left the watch with him. At the time I was not a collector, and just went out and treated myself to a new Tag Heuer 4000 (which still gets wrist time)Thanks again,
Martyn.
