Here is latest acquisition from the Bay.

 

I was pleasantly surprised at the condition, the pic is as it arrived and I will set to and give it all a good clean. 

 

There are only two bits missing, one of the plates that should be in pairs - 10 and 15 mm.  However this does not really bother me as the three pairs I have will service the distances between lugs of 13/17, 18/20 and 19/22 mm which gives a good coverage. 

 

On looking at the plates they are quite simply formed and I think that with the correct thickness of plate a spare could be made up or even larger sizes but that will wait until I have a bit time on my hands.

 

The cushion on which the watch rests is serviceable but a bit tired and I have already got some rubber to replace that

 

The other bit missing is the top of the box and I reckon I can make that myself as well.

 

All in All it seems that this one has come up trumps !

Thought I would attach the booklet in PDF form:-

Hello DJT2,

 

I paid £53.00 plus about 9.50 postage but I think I was lucky getting it for that, I was prepared to pay more.  As regards the postage it does weigh about 5k including all the bits.

 

Cheers,

 

Vic

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
