One of them I thought to be a Ventura but now I think it’s a Pacer. The thing is though, I don’t think it’s got either of those movements inside!  I’m going to put up some pics for everyone’s amusement. Is anyone Out there a Hamilton fan?

Hi Longline   The movement you have in the photo is a shiojiri, owned  by epson seiko  I believe Perrins/esslinger in Canada and America have complete movements.

Shiojiri Y573A        Vacheron_nl on the ebay has movement at $10.99.. he seems to have quite a bit of shiojiri and   epson ,

Hi  Hamilton auto;s used ETA movements so it is possible its is as fitted, manufactruers of watches use all manner of movements in their finished product. The name on the dial is usualy the finisher .   example   Boss. Kalvin Klien, Micheal Kors etc. Its always best to check the movement make and caliber when working on watches reason being if spares are required its that information that is required

Thanks Watchweasol!  This can’t be the original movement though, right?

I was kinda hoping your response above was a joke and you're not seriously asking if that's the original movement?

In case it's a serious question that most definitely is not the original movement the original movement has a balance wheel and yes it has a battery also. The first link shows you what the movements should look like and if you're really curious get the book found at the second link.

Well,  I'd like to play it cool and tell you that of course I was joking.....but it was more an expression of disbelief.  In the back of my mind I knew it had to be a 500 or a 505,  but I was distracted.;(  I did manage to get the movement separated from the case and dial, now need to see if I can scare up a suitable 505 somewhere.

      Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.

      The sping is not pushing directly on the cap, but is pushing against the spindle. So, even if the usual black cap is replaced with the micrometer cap, the spindle is still pushed up.

      But he tells that the micrometer cap doesn't screw into the spindle. How can the spring push the spindle up if there's nothing to grip? There is a screw visible on top of the micrometer cap so should it be able to screw into the spindle? I'm feeling really dumb now. Does anyone manufacture that cap as an aftermarket item? Might be worth investing. Ok so the spindle is different, now I get it.
