HELP! (Pryngeps) Can not find any info on this model and not much on the Maker


Recommended Posts

Many Swiss brands were, and still are, nothing more that a print on the dial which was convenient for mass production. If you take picture the movn't you can get to know a little more about that, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary for aspect either.

Seen a lot of pryngeps watches . Both chronograph and cheaper pin lever divers . There is also some quartz watches around . Don't know anything about name pryngeps but the check mikrolisk and see if you can find any info.  Think it could be a name just like any other brand. Here is a Chronopraph i found on a Swedish watch forum .

I posted a picture of the movement, is it not visible. let me know im very new here

Right on Roger. Pesseux 320 is a true work horse. Used in countless brands.

If you got a good dial and stainless steel case, you will be passing this patremony to your son forty five years from this date.

Best

This watch was bought at a thrift shop many years ago and I can tell you it keeps amazing time and winds super smooth. I have not had to service it at all.

That winds and runs good is not an indication that servicing can be neglected. Since after various decades all the oil is gone, friction is all on metal of the pivots which wears out and cannot be restored. That leads to a very expensive service or repair at a later time.

Couldn't agree more. All of my Peseux 3xx-driven watches run very accurately, but they have all been serviced and, OP, that's essential if yours is to be even just an occasional wearer. You may already know that yours has the "watchmakers' 4", shown as IIII, rather than IV, and usually thought to be in the interests of symmetry.

Regards.

    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?  
    • Does anyone knows what size case a need for a dial diameter 20.60mm?
    • Sounds like the story with my Rolex. Poor (expensive) job done by an official Rolex dealer with an "in-house" watchmaker, hence I learned watchrepair and did the servicing myself. Same story as I learned with the Omega 861, again poor job by an "in-house" watchmaker by an official Omega dealer. Once your watch goes through that back-door, you have no idea what is going to happening to it 🫣   Quite nice that they sent back the parts which had been replaced !
    • yes that's definitely not right at all. I have a picture one of my friends has a Omega coaxial there was having issues to lose asking me where he should send it. As that's a specialty watch I suggested the service center. When he got it back he sent me a picture so the replace the dial as you can see the hands the mainspring barrel and I think the price was really quite decent considering all the stuff they can replace. So I do know they do change the barrels but the other person I worked at the service center when I would ask questions and unfortunately I can't remember all the answers. I think a lot of the changing a parts is at the discretion of the watchmaker. Plus I don't know enough about the chronographs and whether that would be considered a vintage watch? I take some of the vintage watches may have been sent directly to Switzerland or another service center. Obviously with a watch like the one down below they probably have a infinite supply of parts is its relatively modern vintage stuff becomes more interesting even the watch companies don't have necessarily infinite supply of parts. But no matter what the watch shouldn't disintegrated six months that's definitely an issue.
