Looked all over and I can't find it. Pity Ranfft movement identifier doesn't work. The closest movements I've seen, from general layout, and shape of keyless are Corterbert. -
Well, this stickiness was only on 1 or 2 turns at first. After using the B-Dip, I can actually manipulate the the turns in such a way that ALL of them stick on one side and I can pull them apart and you will still see a few sticking still so there is either residue from the B-dip or the initial crud that B-dip didn't remove. What bothers me most is that I can still see liquid in-between the turns holding them together, as if the dip didn't completely evaporate. When I get a chance, I'm going to try an alcohol or lighter fluid dip and see what happens. I don't have a very fine brush for this, so that might have to be the next step. -

Couple of Oris in there , early Oris were pretty small , around 28mm , the first 2 could be 45x or 49x series calibers. The Unicorn might also be an Oris, to know that these will be pin pallet watches if there is no jewel count on the dial. The other 3 will be much the same. The Oris are ok and have some value, as far as pin pallets go Oris were very good as thats all they were allowed to work with for a long time, so they made sure they got the best out of them. Its good to inside though, at the most basic level of inspection of an Ebay sale at least you can see if anything is missing inside, otherwise its just pure luck. Ask the sell if he will add some pictures of the insde for you to privately look at. -

What I've found with Facebook groups and yes i am in a few , its good to have more than one source of information on specialised areas such as lathe restoration or just military watches etc. They dont have the same ethics that we have here, we all seem to look out for each other here, a good close knit group that encourage new members and each other daily. We have a laugh sometimes and really help each other out and support each other. All the support i received about my mum was so kind, i wouldn't have got that anywhere else. A lot of these facebook groups are full of aholes and sarcastic gate keepers. I consider our forum to be very unique, but the subject of # if it ever Dissappears # honestly i think does need addressing . We're really just after a connection site Michael not a full function chat group. Just a way to re-connect if something happens. But the other big thing is all the stored information how that can remain accessible. -
Facebook is a big NO from me. I have nothing to do with any of these sorts of places.
