Most of what I've acquired have been non-runners from eBay. The Felsa 4023 that I spoke of in this thread is immediately to the right of the penny. The two Elgin grade 313's are lower right. These were my first victims. The Seagull ST36 that I managed to dissolve the glue on the hairspring is in the petri dish (upper right) with a second (untouched) copy to its left. The petri dish on the left holds the 1st Buren Grand Prix with the broken setting spring lever that I discussed here on 6/10 with a second copy of a Buren Grand Prix (untouched) sitting around 4 o'clock from the petri dish. The Pobeda sits below the untouched Seagull and to the right of the Omega 620. Above the Omega is another Elgin pocket watch (grade 409) with a dial and hands (also as yet untouched). Immediately surrounding the penny are 7 movements from the recently purchased job lot that have shock mounted balances. There were another 9 movements in that lot that were too shy to make the photo (and which had no shock springs - which was the reason I purchased the lot).

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By swiss2k · Posted

      No matter what I did, I could not get the amplitude more than 240 deg. At least there is 0.2 beat error and minus 1-2 s/d.  So, probably not the happy end I would have hoped for, but still I think the watch turned out quite nice. You be the judge of that. Thank you everyone for your help!

      First pendulum clock tinker

      its used to lengthen or shorten the suspension spring from the front f the clock dial, this in turn will give regulation to the clock. Try inserting a pocket watch key or even better the double ended key for the clock into the small aperture on the dial at the top and turning it, you will see the suspension block either raise or lower. If it raises the clock will run faster if it lowers the clock will run slower

      Grateful for info regarding the nature & function of the horizontal cog and the unit it's on top of in the picture. It meshes with a vertical cog (enclosed in the unit) on the arbour which is supported at its other end by the back plate of the dial unit to which it is not quite perpendicular...

      Second hand watch market.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?
