Today we have Eric's wonderful Hamilton Pan-europ 703 from 1971 on the bench with the legendary caliber 11 inside it. The watch has a few issues, both apparent and hidden, which we will have to identify and fix.
Join me for a full service and repair of this historical watch as we discuss the race to launch the first automatic chronograph in 1969! The story of that race is very fascinating, with lots of turns and twists and it's not at all a clear answer as to who the winner really was. And as usual we'll have a few detours, with an NSFW (not safe for work) moment...
