Flea Market Finds! Yesterday at Round Top TX

Spent yesterday from 8am to 4pm walking the grounds at a MONSTER flea market in Round Top, Texas. Scored a bunch of watches, crystals, Accutron meter and misc tools. This is an out door market so none of them were runners but priced stupid cheap. After about 8 hours, I have these beauties running nicely.
Wakmann triple date chrono with box and booklet Valjoux 730. (crystal and jacked up hairspring = 2 hrs)
Girard Perregaux . (balance staff & mainspring = 30 min)
Mido Oceanstar Powerwind stainless. (crystal)
Hamilton Automatic. (some jerk-weed put a solid stem in a top loader and removed the dial retaining screws in order to get to the movement. WTH? = 1 hr to sift through misc split stems that would work)
Mido Oceanstar Powerwind gold filled. (crystal)
Enicar. (crystal and generally dirty with a rusted on case back = 2 hrs)
Now to sift and sort the 10,000 crystals..........and eventually make it around to the other watches.

I spent a grand total of $400 all day. Still have another 15 watches that need more work than I'm willing to give except this big Tissot Seastar. Super clean looking but the movement was locked up. I could see a small screw missing during inspection and figured it just made its way into the gear train (usually the case) sadly it made its way into the gears but the owner refused to accept that it was locked and kept cranking on the crown and ground off all the teeth from the minute wheel. Now sitting in pieces. 2481 Movement (Omega 1481) part is $50. Unless someone wants to donate 😉

Smile when you say that, Pilgrim...…….😁

I live in Round Rock. Round Top is 80 miles down the road. Halfway to Houston 😀
