Updates and Additions

Updates as listed:

• Update on the latest "Accucell" replacement batteries for all Accutrons. Click Here!
• Updates to Accutron Repairer pages
• Coming Soon! I am working on a new addition to the list of tuning fork watches. Though not strictly speaking a Tuning Fork Watch, I think it shares enough commonality with other tuning fork watches to be considered to be one. I am referring to the Beta 21, most commonly seen in the form of the Omega Electroquartz f8192Hz. As I am still in hospital, (and have been here for 17 months now, and have undergone 6 major back surgeries), it may take a little time to complete as I have not yet taken the photos I need to illustrate it, and won't do until I can go home. Please check back HERE from time to time....

Well, it's been a long time coming, but at last I have something new for you!
