Few of might of seen I had some omega parts i was selling I was contacted a few days ago by a retired watch repaier ive know for years he was clearing ot his garage and was getting rid of ton of old parts and said if I wanted to I could come and look before he throws them in the bin There was alot which I gave to the guy who repairs my watches the Omega parts I gave him some money for This morning he rang me said found another box its on the bin and if I wanted it go and get it or if not leave it for the bin men
I love seeing old parts in their original packaging. Hopefully someone finds good use for those parts!
I have bought up parts like this before. You can sometimes find some gems for sure, but often the parts that are most used are gone, and those left are not in high demand. For the Bulova stuff, if there are good coils in there, you have a winner for sure. I'm sure lots of parts are passed from watchmaker to watchmaker over decades, each one thinking they will use it "at some point" and then it gets passed on again.
As someone who is having an Accutron Astronaut serviced right now, it is encouraging to see all those Bulova parts. If you decide you don't need all of them you may want to contact my Accutron watchmaker at Grover Service Center in Idaho, USA. Keep those hummers humming.
