Boy, did I ever get lucky!  I went back to a local antique mall (more of a flea market, really) early this morning to buy something I'd seen several days ago. And it was still there!  And this time, I

The date quickset is by the button at 3 o'clock. I believe this button is a replacement...from where I don't know as it doesn't look like any pusher I've seen before.

that button looks like something you'd see on an older tissot - or a junghans.

Okay, here's one "you won't see coming or going" (that's an old expression used by one of the jewelry store owners I worked for way back when, to describe unique). It's a 12s, two tone Hampden 325. Just a 17j and pretty plain dial, single sunk and the octo case. Just some equal time for pwatch guys.:biggrin:DSCF0371.JPGDSCF0370.JPG

You will still need a jeweling tool to mount the jewel properly or a staking tool. So if you have one or the other or both you don't need the above tool. 

This tool pushes them out and back in.  Just make sure you choose the correct size end so that the tool only contacts the setting, not the jewel itself.  No need for a jeweling tool or staking set for jewels in settings (chatons).

Here's another alarm watch with the same Poljot movement as the previous - this time a Signal. I'm not sure of the age, but it was very well taken care of by the original owner, as the dial and case are pristine. I had to do a bit of work on this one recently, as the minute hand was about seventeen minutes off. So while I had it open, I painted the alarm set hand red to match the second hand; originally it was the same gold tone as the hour and minute hands, and was a bit confusing when checking the time. Of all the watches in my collection (not that many, actually), this is one of my favorites.
