Hi i I have this watch that was a wedding gift for my great great grandfather. he was German. I think it was around 1884 based on the stamps and some logic… So I saw that the double squirrel stamps and the numbers above the serial are of symbol to gold standard. The crown stamp is exportation to germany(I think) but still no matches that I found to trace the manufacturer. there is also the thinnest engraving that was scratched by hand that is too small so I couldn’t take a photo of it. But I believe it’s just information about service that was done to it. I tried looking for a match on this stamp that says “cb” but couldn’t get anything. also the “cb” logo appears on both the dial “door”, the back “door” , but not on the movement’s “door” (I’m calling it a door because I don’t know the term). please help!!

How do you assemble this? Bifora wristwatch
DesertKing posted a topic in Watch Repairs Help & Advice
Hi everyone, I have a Bifora vintage wind up watch, German made. I don't know how to assemble it and no horologist or watchmaker or jeweler that I contacted wants to help. I would really appreciate it if someone could direct me to the proper website, magazine, book, anything so I can fix it and get it working again. I have all of the pieces, my only problem is figuring out how to assemble it. These pics are references, My watch looks just like the one in the picture. I really want to fix it but lack the expertise. Thanks a lot
