There's a really nice app for detecting magnetism, which is much more reliable than a compass; it's named "Magnetized Wristwatch Checker": -
It's from Rolex spare parts catalogue published around 1940-1950. They are quite expensive and hard to find one. For future reference you can use https://thewatchmakersapp.com - at the moment that app has the most reliable and complete Rolex movements calibers listing available (around 100 and adding more) including all vintage movements from this catalogue (with scanned technical sheets linked), some of that info is not available anywhere else. -
I believe @nickelsilver has a setup like that. -

I posted pictures earlier in this thread. My lathe and mill are two separate instruments. I think I have seen examples of putting a milling head on a lathe bed...but not certain. -
Timex Camper, September 1994, new to me. Strap is an old perlon with "Germany" in script etched into the resin on the tail end. Not Horlon or Eulit I believe. History unknown, running strong, losing less than a minute a day. Goals for this: Wear it a ton! Buy crystal lift, clean out the gunk around the ring and under the crystal Eventually swap into a stainless steel case. I've seen a member who has swapped a Timex mechanical movement into the Timex J.Crew quartz field watch case.
