Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

Any recommendations for getting an old Porsche Design Orfina chrono fixed - the winder has come out, and wont screw back in. Watch still works. Its one of the early ones with ORFINA on the dial not the PD logo.

Thanks

I had a winder problem on a heuer that Stefan sorted for me https://vintagewatchfever.co.uk/. He is based in NE London/Essex so I used to cycle up to him from work (does postage work too). Top bloke, very laid back in a Scandi way, but lots of people will be able to sort this problem out for.

Great, thanks

Should be easy enough to sort, is it a plain crown? PVD watch? Leamania 5100 or Val 7750 movement?

Ok Val 7750 movement

The issue will be if it needs a new crown you’ll need to source a signed ‘PD’ one in PVD which could be problematic

May be able to reuse that one though

Ok, thanks!

Hopefully just a case of having it refitted - not a terribly difficult job

A bit of retro cool with this brown dial Tudor Oysterdate with lovely faded bezel...

Back from a service. Unfortunately yesterday I scratched the crystal cleaning the car. Just polished it out using Autosol

I’ve been looking for one of these for a while now. Finally bought this from a seller in Germany

Nice looking watch - do you know what year that was out?

The first ones were released in mid ‘73 and then changed to the PD branding from Orfina sometime in ‘74
