I spotted this nice Bernex on the Bay recently and sniped it sweetly last night. It's a nice, dependable make - must check out what the actual movement is inside it. Bernex cased movements with their own stamp on the them, but I'm not familiar with this particular model. Probably an FHF... More when it arrives.

No problem Will I have watches and pocketwatches everywhere along with movements.if you are ever looking for a part give me a shout I may just have something. Just got in an unusual Gents Rotary AS1700/01 movement, it's a Grand Prix (Monza) I think but the dial is a bit different to the ones I have seen..

Sorry Will

 

Had a look to see if I had any close ups of the movement to see if there was any makers symbol (under the Balance Wheel as bob has said)

but I had deleted the photos, so the only ones are from the original listing...

 

 

Very sorry I cannot help from that side of things

 

 

The watch is a very nice example from a brand still producing and was too small for my big wrists :)

 

 

Best Wishes and apologies once again

      Usually the coiled spring contacts the piezo sounder and the finger spring is the ground.

      How to store one dip

      By Waggy · Posted

      So I checked with my friendly local lab supplier and they can supply the following in 2.5 lt bottles: Tetrachloroethylene (B-Dip) - approx ￡65 Trichloroethylene (one-dip) - approx ￡43 n-Heptane 99% (Essence of Renata) - approx ￡35 Hexane - approx ￡45 I can't import or buy locally the 'real' products, hence the raw chemicals above. What do you think would be my best option? I'm edging towards Trichloroethylene - I know there are greater health risks, but given the very small quantities used for each treatment and 99.99% of the time it will be sealed in a jar, I think any risk is vanishingly small? This is mainly due to its assumed superior cleaning properties, or from the experience of this group, is the extra cleaning noticeable compared to its safer alternatives?

      Blew it with a coil

      Unfortunately after much investigation, apparently the coil has been discontinued! Shall I get my service guy to try the solder or the conductive paint? 🎨 Final recommendation please🙏

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.
