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.

      Tah-dah. A mini blow torch to harden it, then quench it and just a lighter held under a brass mainspring barrel that the part sits in to temper, Its important to wipe off any grease from fingerprints with ipa, you might be able to see i missed a bit at the top of the arm. Its a very satisfying process. I now just need to deal with the more difficult repairs, anybody any good at replacing rubbed in jewels ? 🙂

      No I haven't tried that, I'm just thinking of the most complicated solutions 🤣   Another great idea 👍 All I need to do is hold that little bugger steady while I try and screw it in, without starting to shake, it gets the better of me sometimes but is getting less the more I do 😀  I need to order some bits from Cousins so I decoded to put this to one side until I get a balance screw holder, it may come in useful later on as well. I'm assuming it closes down enough as I don't know the diameter of a balance screw compared to the stud screw, I haven't worked on a movement with balance screws! I'll be getting the cheap one 😆

      Finally figured out why my hands are so god damn steady. My mum 87 years old , 4 weeks after her stroke and has a macular hole in both eyes, she wiped the floor with me and my lad at a kids stacking chairs toy game. Here she in rehab placing the last chair into position, bloody ' Supergreatgreatgran'  i hope I'm half as fit at her age 🙂

      Punch a hole in some thin card, push the screw through.  Start the screw and rip the card off
