·Happy to hear that, I like them from the way they are build. But I lack any background on how their quality is.👍

··His Holiness Puer SurdusBulova SkyMaster 1943 Cal.10AK
Smallish watch but has a lovely rose gold case and a bronze colored dial. I just serviced it and keeps time very well in all positions (+/- 5 s/day) and also has excellent isochronicity (+/- 2 s/day over the range of 200 - 300 degrees amplitude).

··His Holiness Puer SurdusI’m curious if off a full wind it actually goes the week.
Look at the motion of the balance wheel; it should spin almost two turns for every cycle on a fully wound watch in good condition. It the amplitude is weak then it indicates service should be done. Typically in old watches the mainspring loses its elasticity and doesn’t store enough power. Nice watch!

·I picked up 3 watches today at an estate sale, these are the two that interested me the most.
One is a Hamilton Railway Special 992B pocket watch and the other is a small (travel?) clock from the 1939 Worlds Fair in NY.
Both are running and seem to be in very very good condition, not bad for $40!
I've been looking for a railway watch for a little while now and plan on bringing it to my watchmaker to have it serviced next week.

So far it's kept ticking since giving it a few winds. I'm not sure how to set the time, though. The crystal can be taken off and that may be how the hands are set.
Hard to believe it's 80 years old, it looks great!

Had I known there was an Art Deco thread I would have put it there also.
