I actually sent a message to him on eBay asking exactly that. They all look like snap-on casebooks so should be easy enough to get the photos. -

I thought they were a close match to Cortebert, Nev also suggested Invar , i found a 19"' that had a very similar curved balance cock. I looked at Revue as well but Ranfft was throwing up 404s on the pocket watch sizes. -
Looked all over and I can't find it. Pity Ranfft movement identifier doesn't work. The closest movements I've seen, from general layout, and shape of keyless are Corterbert. -
Well, this stickiness was only on 1 or 2 turns at first. After using the B-Dip, I can actually manipulate the the turns in such a way that ALL of them stick on one side and I can pull them apart and you will still see a few sticking still so there is either residue from the B-dip or the initial crud that B-dip didn't remove. What bothers me most is that I can still see liquid in-between the turns holding them together, as if the dip didn't completely evaporate. When I get a chance, I'm going to try an alcohol or lighter fluid dip and see what happens. I don't have a very fine brush for this, so that might have to be the next step. -

Couple of Oris in there , early Oris were pretty small , around 28mm , the first 2 could be 45x or 49x series calibers. The Unicorn might also be an Oris, to know that these will be pin pallet watches if there is no jewel count on the dial. The other 3 will be much the same. The Oris are ok and have some value, as far as pin pallets go Oris were very good as thats all they were allowed to work with for a long time, so they made sure they got the best out of them. Its good to inside though, at the most basic level of inspection of an Ebay sale at least you can see if anything is missing inside, otherwise its just pure luck. Ask the sell if he will add some pictures of the insde for you to privately look at.
