Is it Yours?

Unfortunately not Nev, an antique shop in Barcelona. I haven't seen one before and at 2800 euros, a couple of pictures was all i was going manage.

Hi @Neverenoughwatches that’s some piece. Marine chronometer beautiful

It is but way more money than i wanted to part with. The shop was quite up market and i didn't have enough cash with me to negotiate for any timepiece.

a very interesting timepiece inside. Fascinating to watch unfortunately usually very expensive. Then if you have an accident it's usually very expensive to repair.

For those not familiar with what it looks like inside here's a short video

      B-Dip residue?

      By Geotex · Posted

      We think about these preps as "one-dips" partly because they are terrific solvents but also because the parts they are used on are often cleaner in general than many other parts. But old oils petrify, and even something like B-Dip can't clean up over-soiled parts without some extra effort, as mentioned above. There is an intermediate step during cleaning where the solvent can partially dissolve tarry residues so they have a more liquid varnish-like consistency, and that could well be what you are seeing on the coils after two washes. I wouldn't worry that your B-Dip was contaminated before you used it on this hairspring, but it I wouldn't re-use that aliquot AFTER this cleaning!

      Hamilton Khaki Mechanical / H-50 winding issues

      By clockboy · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy.. Normally if a hand wound watch does not fully wind ie just keeps winding there is an error with mainspring, either slipping around its winding arbour or the mainspring is broken.

      Most all my 404 candidates are coming from swap meets and "antiques fairs". One more $4US plus battery and elbow grease. Unnamed digital on a decent ss bracelet. Gains 10 seconds a day so not that accurate...

      I voted.for the 6.99 assuming £, which works out to $8.74US at the current exchange rate.

      £4.04 originally worked out to $5, or thereabouts accounting for currency fluctuations. Inflation calculator from 2020 (when the thread was started, though not when Andy coined the term) says we're looking at $6 currently. What currency is the 6.99 inflation adjusted figure cited in the poll? $6 may still seem restrictive, but don't forget that's part of the point. It's a challenge. Thrill of the hunt and all. Diamonds in the rough. Also, and my personal angle on the game, a fun and inexpensive way to learn watchmaking skills.
