路Hello, dear Members
I'm giving away some watches I never wear, or aren't working.
If you want to learn some basic watchmaking they should be nice to work on.
A Poljot ''UFO case'' with a Cal. SU 2614.2H, Size is 42mm (not working)
A Silena with a Felsa Cal.690, this movement is apparently the first one, to wind in both rotor directions. And it's seen as the precessor of the modern selfwindig wristwatch. https://17jewels.info/movements/f/felsa/felsa-690/
Size is 33mm (not working)
A Hilton with a Cal. AS 1902, Size is between 34-35mm (is working)
The company has funny history, showing that shaddy marketing isn't a new thing.馃槜
''Hilton got in trouble with the FTC in the early 60s over misleading pricing and claims for their watches (25 jewel but only 17 functional, marked Swiss Made).''

I'm located in Switzerland, and it would be great if you cover the shipping.
I hope that someone would be interested.
Kind regards, Antoine
