It’s cool. Go for it!
You know you need more. If you have a clock on every wall, shelf, table, sort of flat surface, etc. then you can think about quitting. Or just get more shelves.

It is pretty cool and tough to resist. Enjoy if you buy it! It does like like someone tried to clean it and was a bit abrasive, so that’s a bit of a downer. Good luck!

YOU’RE NOT HELPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a cyclometer sitting on my bench almost done with restoration, it has the same plaque on it but it is for the kitchen appliance division, same exact dates. How cool would it be to have TWO clocks with these awards..... I bought the other one for about the same price and have put about $100 bucks worth of parts in it... and lots of hours.... Did I mention how cool it would be to have TWO of these clocks.... Somebody stop me!!!!!!! |

You’re convincing me Paul.... The buy it now is about $100 too high, the first bid price is fairly close to the value, of course it depends on what parts I would have to buy to replace, cyclometer authentic parts are expensive and I always use authentic in my restorations. Maybe in a couple days, if he doesn’t have any bids I’ll make an offer of around $250, see if he wants to get rid of it. I could make a thread of the restoration and all my work on it...
OH I KNEW YOU GUYS WOULD BE NO HELP!!!!1. |

At $350, I say go for it.
This is the enabling forum, not the forum of prudent spending, you know.

As Aristotle used to say, does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

Just think how many home laundry appliances somebody had to hawk to achieve this lovely clock. I think it needs a good home, buy it.

DO NOT BUY THIS CLOCK.
Once it's in your house it will take over all your other clocks and watches, then while you're sleeping it will take over your computer and sell all your stuff on ebay, join you up on Tinder and get on Amazon and buy thousands of dollars worth of stuff, and destroy your credit rating. |

Paul - you must buy this clock!!!
With two on your mantle, side-by-side, you will be able to know the correct time at home and in your Swedish cousin’s home. This would be the first dual time zone application of these cyclometers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
