I got an old open faced N Howard to clean and put a mainspring in today. It is recased in a nickel case with a private label Dial that reads "M. Huffman/ Quincy Illinois".
The watch was eqquiped with some manner of aftermarket repeater, but it has no name (does that mean it's NOT Terstegan?) The repeater works, but barely, and the customer doesn't want to pay for the whole overhaul because she is going to resell it. Needless to say, I told her I wasn't going to do a Half @&^ job, and she was less than pleased.
She seems to think that it is more a big deal with the repeater, but after seeing a couple of recent posts I am inclined to wonder otherwise. What do you all think?
