from service at local watchmaker.
Full service and a fresh soft iron dial/hands instead the old brass dial/hands.
The SL lume intensity is huge and keeps good.
Now, the navigation combination of that era, Mark XI & Astro Compass, would work ?!

Hi Heiko,
Excellent post.
Now you are able to navigate to our GTG next month.
No worry to get lost.
Adrian,
(alwaysiwc).
It is a good day when the truth returns to a Mark 11. Well done Heiko.
You need a bubble sextant now. The astro compass will correct your magnetic compass, but to know where you are, you need a Mark IX, sextant.
Great hint Tony, I have never seen this item before.
I think, I will go ahead with GPS, not as complicates as tools of that era.
Regards
Heiko
Hi Heiko,
You are an engineer and should appreciate this. Why use simple user-friendly systems, if complicated and elaborate ones work almost as well? ;-)
Yep Tony, that in indeed the salt in the soup and a fun factor, but could be frustating, due to long term very bad weather condition at the 52nd degree of latitude.
So, man is lost :-)
Regards
Heiko
