What do I have?

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 part was how it fell out of the movement - the train wheel bridge wasn’t screwed in.    I’ll probably dismantle the part, if I can, to work it out.    The train of wheels ran fine - it was only once the keyless works were installed I noticed the problem. 
    • Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!    
    • Thats why i asked that question earlier, what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ?  As opposed to walled within its non epilamed area . I'm not saying its right, i have no idea , just asking questions. 
    • thinking of where epilam should be removed did you know there was a patent that covers this? At least for the escapement I'm attaching it. GB1057607A-1 epilame.pdf
    • Back home...printing now.  Will report results
