On the backside of a nice Longines cleanup. Blued the screws and she’s running pretty decent. Just waiting on a new crystal….. ![20250914_113320](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/3/a3621c57765c70bd8f2a3f9d1ce1ef7f01860538.jpeg) ---

I think you bought that from me. I used to wear a Seiko 5 as my travel watch. I haven’t worn a watch since COVID. Maybe one day I will put them back on or sell them. Someone’s dad on here fixed this watch a few years ago when the spring broke. Never sold this one. Sounds like a diesel engine when it is ticking. Not even sure what it is worth now. > [@FS: IWC pocket watch conversion](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-iwc-pocket-watch-conversion/227316/6): > > Bump. Found something I want to buy.

Sounds like a diesel engine when it is ticking. Not even sure what it is worth now. Pretty sure I did buy at least one from you. Which one was it? I have a marriage watch as well (LeCoultre) and yes, you definitely know when it’s running. So does everyone else. ---
