Well, it's winding OK - just a little sticky on the running. I'll get my watchman to give it a clean and checkover. If he has trouble with it, then I'll gladly send it to Mahlon via you.

The case rear has some engraving on it - a little faint now but still nice - and I don't have any other watches with swing-out cases. So I'll have a ponder on a Silveroid...

And thanks again for all your advice and help. Greatly appreciated.
