English lever pocket watch


Recommended Posts

I put a post  a while ago about  this pocket watch I had got from Ebay,  bought a a spares or repair,  they should had simply said, " it's dead ,it's never going to go again", and I wouldn't have got it.

 

But I did, it's one of the H.williamson  English lever pocket watchs, so I liked it, as I said,  I'd  had a plan , I had another movement,  I had another dial, I found in a box, one of the black military dials.

Put it in the case, I was quite happy with it,,,,, but it just was not quite right, , the case numbers did not match up ' obviously ' with  the dial.

So I just had to have another look at the original movement. 

Just on the dial  side plate everything was broken ,botched or missing,  from the broken steel screws in the plate , broken  pallet guard screws, end stone's,  jewell  holes,  missing parts to the winding. 

Well a month  and a half later, it's running, new pallets, balance  wheel,  escape  wheel,  new crown, new hands,,,,,OMG....
