Purchased a box of watchmaker junk. Mostly for the gold pocket watch cases. Found this in the bottom along with a few other wrist watch pieces. Parts were scattered. Balance and pallet were broken clean off. Luckily I had a donor (gave his life) of lesser value. Not that clean but what do you want for an open dial rattling around in a box for 20 years. Fired right up. Keeping time.

 

Nothing like finding a hidden treasure. Nice.

 

Lovely watch, the case looks great ! May we have a picture of the caseback ?
Enjoy

 

Time is not advancing consistently. Clutch issues
To further complications, one of the screws holding the dial down is broken off. I now know why it was at a watchmaker (and why he blew off the repair). Time for surgery

 

Here's the back.

 

Dibs! (Even as is)
