Caravelle Skeletonized 17j makes time fly!

[Wesley881]

Hi there everybody, it's been weeks since my last post. Guess I felt like doing a bunch of exciting life activities all at once like getting married, starting a new job and a side business...you know, basic stuff[emoji38]. Anyway, now that it's a little calm and garage sale season has fired up, I've picked up a few projects and have been getting in some practice here abd there. Heres a late 70's Caravelle from the 'Bay that I just got. It's pretty neat, but needs some work...try to wind and ziiing! goes the hands. Have to go in and take a look, I'd like to see the milling process on these skeletonized plates, very cool. This is my first.

Congratulations on getting married.

If you go to wind the watch and the hands wiz round, it could be the pallets check the pallet stones a stone could be out of line, lose or even broken, missing or pivots could be broken, check the jewels for the pivots.
