·I really haven't bought much this year. There wasn't been much that has popped up on my radar that made me "need" to have it. That changed yesterday.
So today is all about cleaning and assessing ... let's see,
The background is a Doxa stand clock with a handpainted plaque, circa 1925. She's trying to run but definitely needs a service. There's minor loss of the old lume infill on the 11 but the bits are floating inside the case ... we might be able to stick those back in. I'm not even opening this one .... Straight to Pete!
On the left, we have a time only Junghans ... as it came
And after a light clean
On the right is my first ever Polerouter!
The inner bezel is loose; the tip of the hour hand is missing; the seconds hand may be a replacement (comments from those who know are welcome). I may well need a replacement handset for this one .... But ....
Ain't that glorious?!
I also picked up another stand clock (with two others, not pictured):
And then this one's waiting for collection:
Finally, this one came back to me (hopefully not for long - I'll be listing it for sale this afternoon):
It's the fullest of full sets you'll ever see ... every receipt, booklet, box and link that it was delivered with... and a recent service from Mr. Freese.
And, in between all the watch stuff, I got these and have repaired, consolidated and conserved them. Looking forward to practicing my French:
It's been a fun weekend!
