John is looking at the old original c.1045 article

Chuck has a "better" article ... Posted By: SteveW62 <Steve_Waddington@yahoo.com> Date: 5/18/07 14:38 GMT

In Response To: Speedmaster Mystery? *LINK* (JohnK)

Hi John,

Chuck has a slightly revised 1045 article, which I find better.

Here's a link

Basically, John is looking at the old original article on the c.1045 that I wrote nearly 8 years ago. Of all of my early works, it's the one that has aged the least gracefully. I've left it "in situ" as a benchmark of where I started and how things have progressed.

In this article Chuck lists the case numbers as

176.0014 - 376.0805
176.0015 - 376.0804
176.0016 - no match

That matches your picture exactly.

& this one from eBay too ...

It looks to me like the "newer" webpage is the better one & the watch you show is OK

The newer [there is no need for the quotation marks, it is newer] article is basically a placeholder for my "work in progress" update/upgrade of the original article.
Yes, I know it's not complete. Yes, I'm aware it's flawed, but in the absence of anything better on-line I keep it listed for reference purposes. It, along with a re-write of the Flightmaster article, is among my many projects needing attention.

I hope this helps.

Steve
