Right.  My father bought a bag of 35 watches and inside it I found this.  I know nothing about it except it is a Zenith Automatic SS and that it works well, except for the second hand having fallen off.

Can anyone help with an actual model name?  A year? 

Also, I'd like to get a peek at the mechanism but I cannot fathom the access to it.  The only case opening accesses the face and the winder is completely enshrouded in the case?

Hi the watch you have is a model that was produced in 1965 as part of a range of watches to celebrate Zenith's 100th aniversary and is referenced as a model A6621 and should have a caliber 2542 PC within the case. The zenith employee's making this watch at the time nicknamed this watch the "Schlusselloch"  the "Keyhole" I have no idea of production numbers but should imagine its quite uncommon

Seems in pretty good shape, beads of rice bracelet and all. Personally I would leave it undisturbed unless you have a compelling reason. Even polishing and servicing the movement is better left to a future buyer, they often whine about these jobs not done correctly unless they are done by a recognized professional.

      Citizen Technical Info

      attached is the tech /parts sheet. .   Can one ask how come it’s full of water. After being told that the waterproofing was not guaranteed.  Problem being electronics don’t mix especially withe the power source being attached.  You may be lucky but I should look out for a replacement movement or working donor to rob the movement from.

      Breitling Navi Heritage (ETA 2892A2) seconds subdial skippiness...

      By JeremyLaurenson · Posted

      I thought this may be "right" forum to post this. After 7 months out in Switzerland I got my Navitimer back from Breitling. I had sent it off since its 20 years old to have a complete overhaul done... Nothing major wrong, but I did notice this seconds sundial skipping thingy.... $1300 later and 7 months later, I notice the 'skips' are still here unless the chronometer is engaged. I would think this is likely the hand binding up and maybe clearance with the dial, but at any rate Im interested as to whether this is something I should be returning the watch to Breitling for and insisting on being fixed. See below - 1 minute or so of regular running and then 1 minute with the chronograph engaged.

      Unknown mechanism

      By Giogrlj · Posted

      A friend of mine just gave me an old pocket watch. The case is in very bad condition but the movement itself seems to be in a quite good shape. I can't identify which movement is this, since I have to find a missing winding stem. I attach few photos in a case somebody would be able to give some hints.  Thank's folks

      How to recognize radioactive watches.

      By WatchesFarm · Posted

      Hello everyone, I recently received a request for advice on purchasing a vintage watch, a Waltham A-11 ORD. DEPT. I asked if they were aware that these types of watches have radioactive hands and dials... but they had no idea what I was talking about. So, I thought of creating a video that could help recognize them, starting from the distinctive details to using a Geiger counter. I hope you like it and find it useful for those venturing into the world of vintage watches. Bye.
