Servicing this watch for a friend, the watch is missing a winding pinion and I’m trying to source one. It looks like a Lanco cal. 804 or a langendorf cal 1004. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks to me like a Lanco calibre 804 but I’m not convinced that is the correct movement. I need a winding pinion because this watch did not come with one.

Just got this watch to work on and I don’t have a Geiger counter. I’m under the impression it’s tritium lume but I’m still learning so I’d like to know if you guys can help give some insight on if it is tritium what are the tell tale signs?

Thanks.

I cannot speak highly enough about farer, my daily driver I absolutely love this watch. Love the colour combination, a joy to wear and never get tired of looking at it.

Had no intention of buying this but fell in love with it when I saw it.

I’ve always been a watch lover but I’ve never been able to justify spending a lot of money on a nice piece. Today my girlfriend had to pick up something at the mall last minute so I joined her for the trip, as we were exiting the mall I jokingly said “why not go try on a tank or two” so we did. After trying on a couple watches that I did not like at all I saw this santos sitting in the case and it caught my attention, so I asked if I could see it. The second I put it on my wrist my girlfriend and I looked at each other and we just knew it was special. After a couple walks around the mall and convincing myself that I somehow deserved it we grabbed it. Although it was a lot of money it just felt right. I will be avoiding any mall watch boutiques for the next 5-10 years tho.

TLDR; joked about buying a Cartier and ended up buying one 😳
