What do I have?

Recommended Posts

These are the watches I acquired from a local thrift shop, I am trying to figure out what exactly  they are. I will try and give as much detail as I can. There is a Seikomatic-p, a Bulova accutron, a eternomatic, a Parker, 4 different Hamilton's, a westclox pocket watch, and a Virtus twin pocket watch. Any help is appreciated, 20210416_205625.thumb.jpg.6f220f4a1c5702f3945da3e1352e0a7c.jpg20210418_212151.thumb.jpg.1b3d19d02b86d9d3a2e72a0168fe143a.jpg20210418_211158.thumb.jpg.b84f58e0c2290e8f58d887e7f5744933.jpg20210418_211249.thumb.jpg.19637031d87a7f796609ed18e521126e.jpg20210418_210825.thumb.jpg.c2f15e2aae7926f7e6f2048427d7ff6e.jpg20210418_211524.thumb.jpg.daba2bfc8d304eee0d88ed9a8ab88110.jpg20210418_211429.thumb.jpg.69c7f867b482e9a598752a0700904d49.jpg20210418_211341.thumb.jpg.e2356f82ead4bdb5161830e4f981274a.jpg20210418_211800.thumb.jpg.c2a38fbc77e319128a32499241082f83.jpg20210418_211635.thumb.jpg.4253d9acce0b7080cba2efd44da9f04b.jpg20210418_211941.thumb.jpg.2ac20223f44067b04a264b11598ed381.jpg20210418_212046.thumb.jpg.fad414bf7a90a8f9613a439197e15234.jpg

I found a couple more goodies in the watch repair kit. Any thoughts on these? The Longines inside of case says aw 14kwg.6 59056 10/86 and the movement seventeen (17) jewels adj. To temp & two (2) pos Longines watch. Co swiss 3839322 also 10 86 n it is missing the stem and crown. The other is a loose Royce movement. I have had the hardest time identifying exactly what these pieces are. I have a lot to learn20210419_215027.thumb.jpg.7967b27d01ed4f1b3573a73842009544.jpg20210419_215215.thumb.jpg.8e0e0ae3d97f92cc866eb6d19e169d2c.jpg20210419_215304.thumb.jpg.11031bab738065dd01d59e9727a118b2.jpg20210419_222708.thumb.jpg.361c274112ff2d0d0abecf18c00048e8.jpg20210419_222811.thumb.jpg.df899fad0184ce213ae989abf8cea6ae.jpg

I added to the collection this weekend with some seiko divers. Twenty bucks from the same second hand shop. 

Bargain. Hard to believe there are shop owners too lazy to type seiko and 8 digits into Google. Good for you really.

 Wrong gender, ladies watches aren't really collectible and hard to find a lady who would wear a used watch unless its Cartier or Rolex, audemars piguet ...

 

 

Very true, my interest really is in the mechanical aspect of these time pieces and the possibility that I might eventually gain the skills to work on them. They to me are works of mechanical art

Thankfully for me they let a few gems slip through their fingers on occasion. They do estate liquidations and when they come across jewelry and watches they just separate them into a couple of baskets to sort later. Sometimes they will let me look before there watch person gets to it.

    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.

    • In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
