Beginner want to learn

Hi All,

I have several hobbies that works with gas. Beside Harley and Cadillac I started to collect watches as my other child dream. Especially with Harley and Cadillac signs.

So I have several  Bulovas with Harley-Davidson logos and different cheaper brands with Cadillac on dial.

Next was Solomax / Chateau Cadillac (I know it is nothing to the car brand) and several American brands (some with thanks to several years service for these bike and car companies).

My dream was to have a 1964 Omega that is the same age as my cars. Now I have more (1944, 1958, 1964, 1964).

After collecting a small bunch of pocket and wristwatches, I realized they need service.

Even if I want to trade or sell, would be more calm if know what I have.

The future have to be more clear and want to care with about 4 brands (for example Omega, Solomax / Chateau Cadillac, Hamilton, Waltham).

So I am here to learn.

I live in Budapest, Hungary. My nickname is after a frozen engine. Fagyi V8 (fagyi = ice cream in Hungarian). My picture is coming from an ice cream and a V8 logo combination.

Most of the time USA is my source, since I often have to buy parts for my cars.

Tools, seals, crystals are from local horology shop, they sell even for repair shops and enthusiasts.

Pictures about watches later.

    • On the link that I posted, ne of the watches has no crown and another has an a crown that is not square to the case. Does a broken crown signify that the movement may be quite corroded, hence the stem has broken,  and does the bent crown simply signify that the stem is bent? Unfortunately as the seller has a bid on the items, he is now reticent to prise the casebacks off in case he damages something. The seller did reply with this email though. Hi again Michael - brief descriptions; Oris x 2, dials and hands ok and they set ok and one I just wound and it has been running for a few of minutes as I write this response. Rocar, dial ok no crown. No name dial no good and can't pull crown out to set. Roma dial and hands ok, I think it is pin pallet movement. Unicorn, good dial and hands and plexiglass ok for age. All cases and plexiglasses show wear except as mentioned. I have no idea what movements are fitted or condition so please if you do consider bidding, please do so accordingly as I don't like to disappoint my customers - regards and thanks again for your interest - Jim
    • The incomplete Vertex DD is a new project to sort out.  The Seiko gen 1, is my favourite watch to wear and is my daily.      
    • To be fair it was a beautiful 'bumper'.  But, there was some loose parts in the case.  Perhaps 'pig' was a bit excessive 😄.    
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.
