haha they are definitely not worthless, sad when people get envy :P

Really you think there is a case of envy here? Now that's hilarious! 

Anyway, everyone is free to like and even "find value" in whatever he wants. I suppose there are other forums better suited for the discussion than this.

Best I can suggest is trawl ebay for similar watches and use the advanced function to show sold only watches as to ensure you find out what people are willing to pay, not watch other people want to sell for.

yeah i have been thinking on Ebay, biggest problem is to find a similar one/the worth of them. 

i dont whant to just put out a price you know. :P trying long time to find the manufacturer, but it seems hard though :/

I wouldn't place them as "worthless", but they are not high end either.

Budget quartz from a company based in Austria, who supply to order for supermarkets including Aldi and the like.

I've got a couple from the various job lots of watches I have picked up, and they are reasonable quality, but not outstanding.

Better than a 78p Chinese special, but more of a "Titan" than a "Tissot"

I think that since these are Chinese anyway (with Japan module) then just buy from China.

I am a newbe. Just recently came across this site by searching for info on Krippl watches. Have become the guardian of a small watch collection, with an automatic Krippl. The dial has no makers name, just Automatic. Date at 12 & 2 dials for day & month. Black face, silver numbers & hands. It’s made in China & has a skeleton back. The black leather strap is a bit small for my 7 1/2” wrist. Don’t know it’s age but is in as new condition. IMHO it looks quite unique, & keeps good time. It’s a chunk of a watch at 42mm x 15mm thick.

    • Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy
    • I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!
    • Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.
    • So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
