A while back I bought a bundle of watches on eBay described as old wind up and battery watches. One certainly looked like it would be an ETA movement which I particularly enjoy working on so I bid on them, and was successful. Transpired it was an ETA, but what surprised me was the watch I’m showing here which was unbranded and not working.

 

The movement is a Peseux 7066 in a 20 micron gold plated case. After a service and new mainspring the timegrapher results are quite pleasing. It’s a shame the branding has been deleted off the dial. I’m not sure why people do that as the watch identity is now lost. Anyway, here it is cleaned, lube’d and ticking away nicely.

Mark Lovic has a good video showing how he uses film free decal paper to reconstruct a watch dial (i think it was a Seiko). I’d like to know what this dial originally looked like so I can start on the text design.

The case has no markings on it. Unfortunately I didn’t think to inspect the reverse side of the dial for clues. The movement, case, dial and spacer ring all look to marry up to well to be a bodge together watch.

      Hello from the Philadelphia area

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
