Well in good working condition and complete with casing and reasonable dial it would fetch a fair price similar to a good quality entry level wristwatch of today. Value for it in broken condition is dependant on what someone is willing to pay.

Well if it helps i had six of the 467-2 military pocket watches, they all sold to collectors from £200 to £450 ( grade & condition worst to best ). Thats just my experience with the 467-2's, given the 467-1 is rarer it could go for more. :)

THE JLC GSTP pocket watches tend to go for £100-150 on the bay when spares or repair, good movements £250-ish

 

The cases are often heavily brassed (the JLC plating on some of their military watches seems poor quality, the WWW's are renowned for brassing too)

 

The dials are often covered in blisters, I'm not sure if this is due to the dial paint lifting or the dial base metal corroding.

 

 

I think these pocket watches hold a good price as they are a prime candidate for a Marriage conversion.

I do like the black dial! Looks well worn and I would probably lume the hands. Is that the varnish that is crinkling (lack of better adjective)I might would send it off to have the dial refinished.

Nice!

The dial looks like it has been relumed? Someone has relumed the hands and the 12-3-6-9 in a darker lume color . And the other number in a whiter shade. And what up with the subdial . It looks like a watertransfer paper. The movement is looking nice and clean.

      Battery

      A don't think so it leaked or damaged it because the watch itself works it just the buttons ain't working not connecting with the circuit board have taken more pictures of where the buttons makes contact with the circuit board.

      Stem removal after fitting hands

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think what peter means oh is once he has fitted the hands and  checked for  alignment if them and that they dont foul, how does he then hold the movement to remove the stem in order to case up. The dial cannot be laid on a cushion or in a movement holder as the hands will get damaged. This can be quite tricky for a beginner, what i do is  to stand the movement on edge on a rubber pad so it doesn't slip. Hold the top edge with one finger then my dominant hand uses 3 fingers to press the stem release and flick out the stem. See below peter, leave off the second hand as this is the longest and gets caught the most, then fit it once the stem is out. Alternatively place the movement in one of the cup style holders, i imagine this is what they are designed for. They only touch the very edge of the dial.

      Yes I understand that. What I’m asking is, after the hands have been fitted, it’s been checked that the hands do not touch etc. then I need to remove the stem to fit the movement in the case. I have the push type, I need to turn it upside down and push the setting lever post and pull the stem out. But of course the dial and hands are in place and I have a glossy dial with lume dots and I do not want to cause any damage while it’s upside down pushing on the post of the setting lever.

      You have answered your own question. You just push the setting lever nipple in or if its the screw in type unscrew it a little. You should always remove any hands and the dial before putting it in your movement holder.

      Did the old battery leak and damaged the circuit board? Can you post some photos of where the buttons make contact on the circuit board.  Try cleaning the gold fingers on the board with alcohol and also the conductive rubber strips behind the LCD display panel.
