Yard sail lot

[markr]

I found this lot on Saturday for $50.  I'm counting 10 watches for $50.  404 club?  I'll have lots of questions on this lot.

The Voumard Accutron Hallmark and Hunter are all running.  The Hamilton pocket watch runs when I give the barrel a little pressure with my thumb nail.  I'll have to look for a stem to give it a wind.

Deal of the century?

good show !  i was looking thru a bag of wrist watches that was bought a few years ago,   they were quite grungry,    to my surprise,  one is an Omega.   i am cleaning it up now.   vin

$5 was the USD equivalent when the 404 Club thread was started. $5.33 now. I think that's 404 club material right there!

should make a nice return on some of those.

I'm liking the JLC alarm watch!

 

Nice score!

[markr]

I'm thinking about taking it down to a watch repair shop to repair since I'm not at that level yet Unless someone here wants to take on the job.

[Tudor]

If I got it at a yard sale myself I might; but I certainly wouldn’t risk that with my skill set at this point. 
 

Always wanted an Omega Advisor. But I have no business overhauling one!

sell  on Craigs list via the internet?  vin

The JLC memovox is iconic and highly sought after, I examine it to get an idea of the parts it may need, even a scrap movement for parts wouldn't come cheap.

You didn't show the LeCoultre's movement, that too is collectible, not that bulova 22 jeweler is not collectible and eye catching. Whats inside the Voumard? 

[diveboy]

can you do a close of the blue enamel ladies please ?

 

Thanks!

[Watchtime]

nice catch....as Nucejoe said, the JLC's is very collectable, I would go for a repair

I was able to find what case it belonged to but no back.

My plan is to send it to Watch Repairs USA unless one of you can DM me that you can do it or knows someone who can or a reason not to use Watch Repairs USA.  Anyone?

Thanks markr. The movement has an AS look to it.

As for the memovox, you can come up with an estimate of repair cost yourself, this will be useful in choosing the best course of action for repair. First lets find out what parts is your watch missing or needs, since price of part can quickly add up to a forbiding sum in which case you would be better off with a suitable  scrap movement, then what kinda work it needs, if its just a clean and lube and replacing a part or two, you really don't need a master reapirman and can get by with a reasonable figure for the labour. 

Just sending it in you might run a risk of a heart attack.

meant the voumand has AS look.

    this reminds me of trying to find a "silver pocket watch case repair man"   AND  which one to send it to and trust.  vin

Are you sure  they weren't  handed over at gun point? Good deal.
