    recommendation for a Swiss watch repair?

    I'm just a naive collector, and usually only buy American watches, but I picked up this Swiss (I presume) keywind at a recent NAWCC Regional show. It's roughly the same size as an American 16-size watch. On the curvette (which I couldn't get a good photo of), it says "15 Rubis--Spiral...

    Waltham 12-size--that's a fraction too big

    Not long ago I purchased an empty Philadelphia gold-filled 12-size case on that well-known auction site. I bought it because it was in almost-new condition. I decided it deserved a fairly high-grade movement, so I turned to the same auction site and found a 12-size Waltham Riverside movement...

    Watch Case Makers resource--what happened to it?

    I used to be able to go to a page on this website that provided information about various watch case manufacturers. I had it as a "Favorite" on my computer, but when I let my cursor hover over it on the Favorites list, it shows as "mb.nawcc.org/showwiki.php?title=Category:Watch_case_makers"...
