Here's a not very good photo of my 105.003-64 bought earlier this year - good watches and great bezels are still out there waiting to be found!

 

Can my 105.003 pulsations bezel stop by? Not a DON, but it’s in pretty good shape for its age!...

 

I like the honest look of the bezel on my 105.003-65. Seemingly has had the same life as the dial.

 

Heyyyyyyy, I recognize that one!

 

Its still a beauty. And in the exact same perfect condition whilst under your ownership/stewardship.
Couldn't resist to show it on this thread. Seemed a perfect chance.

 

I am humbled by your watches!

 

As nice as this Speedy may look it is not fully functional. It runs fine but the pushers are not functioning properly. The pusher at 2:00 doesn't stop the seconds hand when pushed but automatically returns the hand to 12:00. The pusher at 4:00 does not function. Where do you recommend that this watch be repaired? I live in San Francisco but I'll ship to the best location. FYI, I called LA Watchworks and they have a wait time of 3 months. Is it worth the wait?

 

It just occurred to me that the pusher at 2:00 is doing exactly what the pusher at 4:00 should be doing. And the pusher at 4:00 is nonfunctional.
This is a dysfunctional watch!

 

Take a picture of the movement. That may shed light on this issue.

 

It can be fixed. You could try Nesbitt is Seattle. Just make sure you speak to them and be sure to tell them only movemt service. No changes to any visible parts.

 

Pictures to follow.

 

This is the movement:

 

I will call today. Thanks.

 

Those are not current photos I suspect. The chronograph seconds and minutes resetting when you stop the chronograph indicates that the part called the "stem bolt for hammer" is missing or broken, but it's present in those photos. This video (of an 861 but it's the same principle) shows the start, stop, and reset when the stem bolt for hammer is in place, and what happens when it's missing:

The pusher at 4 is still required to reset the hour counter by the way, but you may not be letting it run long enough to even see the hour counter move.

Cheers, Al

 

Thanks so much Al.

 

Unfortunately they are no longer fixing Cal 321 watches. Do you have another reference? Thanks.

 

wow that faded bezel is incredible ^^

Congrats on the pick up OP!

 

Is anyone familiar with WatchRepair.cc in Portland Oregon? http://www.watchrepair.cc. Nesbitt in Seattle is no longer working on Cal 321 watches. You can PM me if you like. I have this watch and I really want to keep it and have it repaired correctly. LA Watchworks is 3 months out and the seller will not wait that long. The seller is willing to pay for the repairs but I am too new to know the good watch repair companies. Any help would be appreciated.

 

If you can, buy the watch with no repairs. Handle that part yourself.

Some members have reported good success with Govberg. I think they're in the PA area. I've never dealt with them.

 

Thanks for the referral. I'll call them tomorrow.
