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.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
